pilotdave 0 #4 December 10, 2002 Awesome pics. I'm just curious about something. How do DZs get away with carrying paying passengers during formation flights? For a big, public event like a 300 way with so many planes, do they get a waiver from the FAA? Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meatbomber 0 #5 December 10, 2002 that has been a big discussion on other formums too... i think it's setteled that skydivers are no passengers :) but rather they are aviators thus the defeinition is somewhat different. i'm sure chris can explain better !

AndyMan 7 #7 December 10, 2002 Quote that has been a big discussion on other formums too... i think it's setteled that skydivers are no passengers :) but rather they are aviators thus the defeinition is somewhat different Correct. Skydivers are "Jettisonable Cargo", not passengers. Of course, this raises the wisdom of flying 13 heavily loaded cargo planes in tight formation.... but whoever accused skydivers of being particularly wise?!?!?_Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

diverdriver 5 #8 December 10, 2002 Actually, we are "occupants" not passengers. The FAA was out yesterday and went over all the aircraft after our first load. They had some comments but that's their job. No problems. No show stoppers. The FAA also recognizes that skydivers are a more than normally informed group and thus accept the increased risk involved. It's not like you paid an airline for a ticket from point a to b and an F-16 formed up. Oh wait, they already do that without your permission.

Ahh...however if they get the record they are going to try and beat again right away...so I may miss one, but at least watch them break it again!! Actually if I remember correctly, it normally is somewhre near the end of the attempts that they are broken. It does take a few jumps to get things going....but I dont mind if they get it early...She is not a "Dumb Blonde" - She is a "Light-Haired Detour Off The Information Superhighway." eeneR TF#72, FB#4130, Incauto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreamsville 0 #16 December 10, 2002 Yes, Chris, I am impressed. All the positive vibes and prayers I can muster go with you and the others. I know the 300-way will be a raging topic at the SDC XMAS party, which I am guessing you won't be attending. HarryI don't drink during the day, so I don't know what it is about this airline. I keep falling out the door of the plane. Harry, FB #4143 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
