riggerrob 598 #4 July 30, 2016 Travis Pastrani did his chute less jump (circa 2007) in Puerto Rico, just to get beyond FAA justiction. After Bill Cole did his 2 chute less jumps (1960s) CSPA stripped Bill of his Canadian high altitude record and CSPA membership. Bill's records were only restored posthuminously. Bill did not help matters with his lack of political skills. ...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,233 #5 July 30, 2016 Hi Rob, Quotejust to get beyond FAA justiction When Rod Pack did his chuteless jump ( 1 Jan 65 ), the pilot got fined by the FAA $10,000. Apparently, LIFE magazine paid it for him. Jerry Baumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kuai43 7 #6 July 31, 2016 All those jumpers landed with a parachute. Seems like you could argue that when they left the plane, they weren't technically parachutists until they put one on. Once they put one on, then (I assume) wouldn't they then be FAA compliant?Every fight is a food fight if you're a cannibal Goodness is something to be chosen.

mjosparky 3 #10 July 31, 2016 This is what the FAA says on the subject. He may have made special arrangements with the FED’s but who knows. Quote§ 105.43 Use of single-harness, dual-parachute systems. No person may conduct a parachute operation using a single-harness, dual-parachute system, and no pilot in command of an aircraft may allow any person to conduct a parachute operation from that aircraft using a single-harness, dual-parachute system, unless that system has at least one main parachute, one approved reserve parachute, and one approved single person harness and container that are packed as follows:My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DBCOOPER 1 #13 August 1, 2016 Well technically there was no parachute operation so the regs did not apply...Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.
