southwind_sdc 2017-05-18	Not the AAD, looks she pulled the cutaway and ripcord on her own.
GLIDEANGLE 2017-05-18	NOT an AAD fire. Student saved herself by executing her EPs at about 6500 ft AGL. While one could argue that EPs weren't the preferred solution... the student saved herself. I won't comment on the instructor getting low because I know what it is like to have a small student spin and helicopter (slow fall). Lots of mistakes by both parties... but the student saved herself and survived. That meets the definition of a good jump.
DJL 2017-05-18	With that body position in the door did we expect anything other than a fully unstable exit?
