Number of Certificates

[tmazanec1]

How many rocketeers are certified at the three levels?
Are there hundreds of Class 3s? Thousands?

Thread from two years ago, less than 1500 total, most are probably dual certified NAR and TRA too. NAR according to the thread linked below is between 500 and 600 L3's probably by now (who knows how many inactive).

I have seen an uptick in cert flights, at Rocstock 50 25 years of ROC, we had 30 level 1, 4 level 2 and 5 level 3 successful cert flights.

From last NAR news letter (10/28/19). I would guess Tripoli might be close or a little bit lower.
HPR Members:
Jr L1 - 144
L1 - 1655
L2 - 1402
L3 - 601

On Tripoli's website, they post the level of each member in a spreadsheet. It looks like these are for member with current memberships. A little summing in Excel...

L0: 936
L1: 931
L2: 1148
L3: 1098

Interesting, what's TRA level 0?

Interesting, what's TRA level 0?

When I paid membership, I received a card that said level 0. I assume it is members that haven't certified yet.

When I did level one, I had an upgrade.

Yup, members who aren't HP certed.

No TRA members available to respond

We also have M and M1 levels.
As others have said, an L0 is just someone who hasn’t certified yet.
M is someone who passed the TMP exam but hasn’t flown the flight yet.
M1 is a TMP member who took the test and flew the flight successfully. Same as Jr. L1 for NAR.

How far back do records go Steve? I want to know the TRA number I originally started flying on, just for nostalgia's sake - I want to say it was 1970-something. It was 1994 before the TMP program and my friend and I convinced his dad to join so we could fly HPR at 14.

They go back mostly to the beginning. I believe that there was a time when some got reissued but for decades now they have not been. I’ll look yours up.
