quade 3 #1 July 23, 2003 Although written completely with General Aviation Pilots in mind, just about everything in this Advisory Circular applies to skydiving (life) as well. My guess is that the people that need to read this the most probably won't, but it's worth a shot to put up the link anyway. http://ntl.bts.gov/DOCS/Ac60-22.htmlquade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbarnhouse 0 #2 July 23, 2003 Thanks Qwark! Although a lengthy read, it is recommended that everyone read this. It may serve as new information to some and a reminder to others. Blues and safe landings! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 1,628 #6 July 24, 2003 QuoteOk, HERE is a much better web formatted version of the same information. I don't read that stuff because bad things only happen to others. Besides, I don't have time. Anyway, it's unnecessary 'cos I don't make mistakes. It's obvious that the people who wrote it are idiots. If I were to read it it wouldn't make any difference anyway. Did I pass?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
