Spotting

Recommended Posts

Spotting for sure is part of any skydiver survival procedures. At some DZ, spotting is critical for many reasons : tight landing zone, lake, mountain, highway or houses nearby. If you want to perform demo in a park, football field....spotting is a must by throwing a least two wind drift indicators to make sure. Also, I learned many years ago that you have to spot not only to come back at the DZ but in case of cut away, to get your main parachute and reserve pilot chute/freebag assembly back at the airport. That way, you put yourself in the conditions to save a couple of thousands dollars if the main parachute is lost. Now a pilot error is still possible and in rare occasions the GPS can be erouneous.
Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all.
