masher 1 #27 June 24, 2005 QuoteMy suggestion was to stay in proximity until 6000, then turn and trak until dump height. If I'm low, I keep off to one side of the formation and I'll turn and track at 500' above breakoff. Deploy at the preassigned altitude, (or at least try to)-- Arching is overrated - Marlies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrumpot 1 #28 June 24, 2005 QuoteIf I'm low, I keep off to one side of the formation and I'll turn and track at 500' above breakoff. ...And I would THANK YOU for doing that! One of the most nervous (and potentially dangerous IMHO) times for me (IMO) is when someone is not "in" in the formation (has either gone low, or what-have-you), and at break-off/tracking time, you can't locate (see) them! Especially if you are unsure as to that persons (particularly tracking and "awareness") skills. It is what you DON'T see, and what you DON'T know that can very suddenly, but very drastically/most definitively kill you! This "near incident" is illustrative enough of that.
