L2 certification witnesses was created by ClaudeMaina
I plan to try for my L2 certification at the upcoming MMMSC launch on the 20th and am looking for witnesses. I'll be launching a LOC Hyperloc 835 on a Cesaroni J280 Smokey Sam. The flight will use dual deploy with a Perfectflight altimeter set for drogue parachute (2 ft) at apogee and main parachute (4 ft) at 400 ft, and a RRC2+ alitmeter set for drogue at apogee plus 1 sec, and main at 500 ft. There will also be the motor ejection. Rocksim predicts 3100 ft for the flight.

I've flown the rocket once so far this season with the same configuration using an Aerotech I245G. The flight went really well and reached 1500 ft. Aside from the motor, the only change I may make is replacing the 4 ft chute with a 5 ft chute.

I've already passed the written test earlier this year.

Thanks.

Claude

Hi Claude,

For witnesses, you need one of the following:

A single NAR Level 3 certified witness in good standing

or

A single NAR Level 2 certified witness and one other NAR member, both in good standing.

(At least one member of the certification team must be already NAR certified for the level that is being attempted).

Be sure to have your forms with you and ready to complete. The safety checklist should be competed by the RSO at safety check.

I will hopefully be there and can be one of the witnesses ( I am Level 1, so you would still need a Level 2 witness).

Good Luck!

Check with Jason to see if he'll be covering the launch.
I'll check with Scott to see if he can pin down another L2.

Scott says Robert and Gloria will be there so there will be witnesses at the proper level.

Thanks Kenn. I e-mailed Jason and he said he will be there as well. So I should be all set.
