Does this kinda thing happen frequently and if so is there a standard procedure to follow or do you make a decision right there based on the situation? Also would a passenger like this be more likely to de-arch and bascailly give you hell?? Personally i think the TI was really good and showed a lot of patience Andy1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.

In my experience (1000+ tandems and 700 or so videos) no, it doesn't happen that often. I've only ever had one person ride the plane down, and probably had to "talk" less than a dozzen to the door. In most A/C if we're in the door, were going as getting out of the way may be less safe. My students are told this durring the gear up. QuoteAlso would a passenger like this be more likely to de-arch and bascailly give you hell?? No more than you should expect from anyone else making their first jump. QuotePersonally i think the TI was really good and showed a lot of patience That's the job.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

sid 1 #3 February 5, 2006 I wish I could see this video. I've tried a bunch of times to log into that site and never received the "confirmation email". Since I've tried a few times all my email addresses are registered there and I can't use any of them any more. GrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrPete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
