freeflir29 0 #1 March 17, 2002 Be careful out there. I got in one jump this afternoon. Well...the last time I jumped it was about 55 degrees on the ground. Today it was about 80....with 90% humidity. Whats that mean boys and girls? The air is thin!!! I did my usual 200 plus degree front riser approach. Went to double fronts for a couple seconds...let up....the canopy is diving. Still diving....still diving....Uh Oh....Dig Dig Dig....and come to a stop about 1 foot off the ground. Ruined my surf!!!! So...lesson learned. Pay attention to the Density altitude and be extra cautious when it's a major difference since the last time you jumped. Happy swooping!!! PS....Chuck! Rodney Cruz was down here today doin some of that nasty stinkin belly flying with Nemesis..."I only have a C license, so I don't know shit..right?"-Clay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #6 March 17, 2002 QuoteUh, Clay, still convinced that airspeed equals lift?Yep...I was still producing more lift than I was before the hook. It just took longer to recover at 80 degrees than it did at 55. That density altitude is a bitch!!!
