I think Eric means a Tandem Instructor that has an illegitimate CYPRES fire on his personal sport rig while doing something other than tandems.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #28 October 22, 2004 Exactly! Basically if a TI has a Cypres fire while on a freefly jump for example does the same actions need to be taken?Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
obelixtim 100 #29 October 22, 2004 I think it would show he's not very smart....and is an indicator that he has the potential to mess up in the future.....wouldn't pull his rating, but he would be on "probation", and his rating would be at risk if he didn't clean up his act. I would regard it as a clear warning signal......and at my DZ he would be doing 2 or 3 static line jumps minimum, because I regard his screw up more serious because if anyone should, HE should know better....and he should be setting an example...I'd also be giving him a warning and keeping a close eye on him in the future...... Tandem Masters should be better than that, because they have had more intensive, specialised training....and even though it is Tandem specific, the principles apply to all disciplines..... A tandem master seen on the end of the dope rope would be a great encouragement to all the other hotshots who think they can flout the rules and also lessen the arguments and self justification I have to put up with when someone needs a rev up. Disciplinary action must be seen to be fair and without favour if it is to be effective....My computer beat me at chess, It was no match for me at kickboxing....

Is he "freeflying" the tandem, or just on a freefly jump with some "buddies"?---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
