skybytch 259 #26 December 14, 2003 QuoteQuotetaking any tandems out of them so far. I shudder at the dark prospect Tandems with video out of a 182 is sort of an art form,and I only say that having watched it. The actual exit is the easy part. It's the getting the passenger and yourself into position that resembles badly performed yoga. You wanna really have fun try being the 2nd tandem pair out of a 182. I recommend soccer shin guards and knee pads. And a hard helmet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ripper0289 0 #29 December 14, 2003 I only have six jumps so far, five from a KingAir 99, one from a C-182, I loved the Cessna jump, something about standing out there was just too cool not to love. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unstable 8 #30 December 14, 2003 This kinda makes me wonder how they throw students out of an Otter or Tailgate.

Plaedouh 0 #31 December 14, 2003 I've got over 200 jumps from a Cesna. No complaints. While the ride to altitude is a bit long, it's just a comfortable space to me. I've put a handful of static line students out of an otter... there are a few ways to do it. I assume Kingair would be simmilar... most convienent on the otter is to hook the line up to the interior haindrail above the door. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't drop static-liners from King Airs as they fly way too fast on jump run. Just ask the Alaska smokejumpers about all the hassles they had dropping S/Lers out of Beech 99s (a stretched King Air).

I must have over a thousand tandem jumps (2.700 total) out of Cessnas without bashing my shins or doing exotic yoga positions. Granted, I stopped doing RWS textbook exits more than a decade ago - something about a bent reserve pin. Since than I have only done sitting exits from Cessnas. I just sit with my back against the instrument panel, get the student's feet near the step and launch over top of them. My 200 pounds and 6 feet may be a bit tight in the front of a narrow-body 182, but that is the quickest and simplest way I know of getting a tandem student out of a Cessna.

Most of my jumps have been from Turbolets, Otters and Islanders. Vicki Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites KolinskyDC 0 #44 December 15, 2003 I remember when I first started jumping and would watch other people do hop n pops out of the Cessna at 3,500, I would say, "I will never jump out that low and I will never jump out of a plane that small" Many people said, just wait til it's 25 degrees out or the ceiling is 3,800 feet, and I just kept saying it would never happen. Well needless to say, they were right. I did jump #25 last weekend, first jump out of a Cessna, not to mention at 3,800 ft It had been two weeks since my last jump and it was all that was going up that day, so hell ya, I went and loved it. The next jump of the day we got enough people for a Otter load and planned on going up to 3,800 and was ecstatic to go almost to 5,000, when a few weeks prior, I wimped out on my first hop n pop at 5,000, what a change in perspective. I must say that was my most favorite jump so far, there was 12 of us and only about 5 seconds between exits, when I opened and took a look around, it was such an awesome feeling to be surrounded by 11 of my friends under canopy, usually only 1 or 2 and usually pretty far away. It was definitely my favorite jump to date, cannot wait to get my A license and be able to jump in groups...2 jumps to go!!!

All of those this year (so I took a short break ) have been Twin Bonanza, King Air and Otter. All were great but there is something a little more thrilling about standing on the wheel and hanging on to the strut. "Truth is tough.
