skip 0 #1 March 21, 2005 Can someone tell me the proper names for 4 way exit positions (tail, point etc)? Let’s say the following diagram is the plane with the 4 jumpers. <----00---< Jumpers inside the plane ---- 00 Jumpers outside of the plane Thanks so much.

Squeak 17 #2 March 21, 2005 that diagram won't work, because it depends on what you're taking out the door. But the positions are Front Float Outside Centre Inside Centre Rear Float Many times you'll have 2.5 to 3 people out the plane and only the IC inside, other times will be 2 in 2 out, it all depends on the formation your fly out the doorYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

elightle 8 #3 March 21, 2005 Front float is typically called the Point, and rear float the Tail. Squeak is correct about the positions being rotated for some exits. Attached is an article I wrote last year for Parachutist magazine about 4-way techniques. It includes a brief explanation of the responsibilities of each position. Hope this helps!
