Forum Terms & Rules
Hello and Welcome...
A couple of things before we start.
The forum rules, APF code of ethics and a couple of local rules appear on this page.
On the next page, we need some registration details. There's a couple of bits that are important as we validate your registration - we'd like to establish some bona fides. So, please supply your full real name in the field provided (only the moderation team can see it, and you can still maintain a display name which is different).
If you want more anonymity, supply your APF number and Birthdate. This is not enough information to work out who you are, obviously, but if there's ever any trouble that warrants it we could conceivably supply those details to the APF.
That's it... you're only a couple of minutes away.
(If you really like the site, consider purchasing a subscription [Control Panel> Purchase Paid Subscriptions] once you're registered). This site runs ad-free and on volunteer labour; your contributions keep the wheels turning.
Cheers!

The APF code of ethics appears here as a reminder; it bind all APF members.
Australian Parachute Federation
Code of Ethics
As members and officials of the Federation and its member organisations, we are governed by such regulatory documents as the Constitution, Operational Regulations, Disciplinary Procedures Handbook and Rigging Advisory Circulars. In addition, it is imperative that we conduct ourselves in a way which will uphold the professional reputation of the Federation when involved in operations and business activities relating to parachuting. It is therefore a condition of APF membership that all members and member organisations adhere to the Code of Ethics outlined below. Non-compliance could result in the loss of membership or refusal of affiliation.
The following principles set out the ethical standards which the Federation expects to be upheld.
As members and officials, we shall at all times:
1. Implement the Federation's regulations and policies so that the highest possible standards of safety and professionalism are maintained.
2. Conduct our professional and parachuting activities in a way which upholds and enhances the reputation of the sport and the Federation.
3. Act honestly, fairly and properly in dealings with students, other parachutists and with the general public.
4. Refrain from intentionally spreading false or misleading information, whether written, spoken or implied.
5. Refrain from knowingly using or being party to improper or illegal methods and practices in business and operational activities.
6. Refrain from any form of discrimination or harassment based on race, gender, age, disability, etc, when such factors do not prejudice the safe conduct of the sport.
7. Refrain from intentionally injuring the professional reputation of any other member, parachuting organisation or the Federation.
8. Continue to acquire professional skills and knowledge, thereby improving our personal competence and knowledge of the sport.
9. Encourage and assist others to develop good attitudes, skills and knowledge relating to the sport.
If any member has evidence that another member or member organisation has been guilty of unethical practices, it shall be his/her duty to inform the Federation or its appointed officers.
Authorised by the Board of Directors of the APF, August 1994.
