Some FJC's are slightly more advanced tandems that allows you to demo altitude awareness, simple canopy control, etc. ...Difficulty: Easier ...Time: Shorter visit to DZ ...Freefall: Yes ...Fly the Parachute: Handled by you with the instructor's help There, I fixed your incorrect statement for you.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

j_ung 0 #77 October 17, 2008 Yeah, I think AFF1 might be the way to go. I didn't handle the chute when I did a tandem jump but that was, jeez, 15 years ago? Something like that. I'm up in Boston to visit the corporate overlords (kidding!) next week. I think I'll open the subject then. Keep yer various digits crossed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdrejhon 8 #82 October 17, 2008 Quote...Fly the Parachute: Handled by you with the instructor's help There, I fixed your incorrect statement for you.AggieDave is correct. I highly recommend instructors who let you fly the canopy on the first tandem jump. True, my statement is oversimplified. Unfortunately, it seems my statement is also true at many other dropzones (at least for jump #1, anyway) -- some tandem instructors don't want to let you fly the canopy. Rightfully, a worthy debate in a topic thread somewhere else on dz.com (see, Jay Young -- the dzcommer way of life), but again, AggieDave is correct.

I guess I can say this: I won't do anything here without some hefty advice seeking before hand. I only hope most folks will hold their judgment of me until they can make it based on my actions.
