for the instructors who swoop

[D22369 0]

If the DZ you work at bans HP landings all together, neither allowing a area to play or a seperate pass for the swoopers, what are you going to do?

personally I would quit, the freefall just doesnt do it for me anymore, I love working with students but the frustration of being stifled is something i couldnt tolerate.

* and it goes without saying, I am NOT saying to be allowed to rip a HP landing in a crowded airspace...

I'll find a field near by and land there, they can't tell me what to do when I am landing off.

Sorry, i'm not an 'INSTRUCTOR'. Why not? Because I have a wicked addiction to hookturns. If i'm flying a parachute good chance that i'm gonna hook it. Instructors in a sense, lead by 'EXAMPLE'. I see that being an addicted to hookturn hookturner would be being a bad example to students, if I were an instructor. I chose many years ago to not be an instructor in part because i choose to hookturn. My 'getting off' by doing the 'hookturn' has outweighed my enticement to become an instructor. I'm just another skydiver, a paying customer.
