Hey, its got a 45 day money back guarantee, why don't you go ask in bonfire... Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

I have three jumps on a Tempo 170 reserve demo canopy. It flew like a truck with 4 flat tires. Fortunately all three landing were in the water at the blue hole in Belize. Can't imagine trying to land one in a back yard with a bit of a tail wind. There are much better choices. It would make a great car cover.

If I was doing an engine out approach I don't think I would be worried about popping a reserve on final. Nobody would be near the door anyway... And why would slipping mimic a high rate of decent? If the door is open there might be an increase in drag but a barometric change enough to fire and aad, I doubt it.

Just for reference a 4000 foot per minute rate of decent equals 45 miles per hour... Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

What plane are the glacier jumps made from? Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

One disadvantage of the UPT Skyhook is the way the manual is written, especially for the newer skydiver. The only reference of the properly way to route the cutaway cables is in the reserve repack section. If you do the cutaway cable maintenance as referenced in the manual, there is no mention on the proper cable routing thru the collins lanyard, at least in my manual.

I don't care if he paid in bitcoins. The guy had to walk away with 75 dollars worth of quick fading thermal paper. Is a sucky policy. If you use a card, they charge you extra. That's fair. Charge for the refund also,that's fair, if that's what what it cost them to run the transaction. But to just say no refunds to a traveling jumper just sucks.

I was at an SOS event at Sky's the Limit in Pa. One guy who drove a long way just for the event was refused a refund on his unused jump tickets after the weather went to shit with winds. We should probably make a list of these operation so at least people are aware.

Yea it looks like the design would catch too much air in freefall and put a lot of pressure on the chin strap and be uncomfortable. Try it and see. People might look at you strange.

I know a few people with a whole lot of recent jumps and a whole lot of total jumps that I wouldn't call a skydiver... Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

Found it. It was made by Flite Suit. Its a medium and fits me tight with a 35 inch waist. a simple design and could be made by any rigger with a clip,rings, 1/2 inch nylon tubing, some line and a sewing machine. Headed out of town early morning and won't be back for about two weeks, but I'll send it to you if you want it for a model.

I have one somewhere. It was a belt you wear around your waist with swoop cords that run thru rings on the belt that acts like swoop cords in a jump suit but will pretty much work with any jump suit that came without swoop cords. Its a simple design that requires a bit of excess material under the arms of jump suit to have any effect.

So you might be thinking of, what was it, the jumper in NY state who fell to his death at low altitude while trying to close a Cessna door that had popped open. NTSB Identification: ERA10LA389 14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation Accident occurred Sunday, August 01, 2010 in Newfane, NY Aircraft: CESSNA A185F, registration: N4976E Injuries: 6 Serious. This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed. On August 1, 2010, about 1420 eastern daylight time, a Cessna A185F, N4976E, was substantially damaged when it impacted trees, during the initial climb after takeoff from Hollands International Airport (85N), Newfane, New York. The certificated commercial pilot and four passengers were seriously injured. One passenger was killed. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan had been filed for the local skydiving flight that was conducted under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. During a telephone interview, the pilot reported that he had completed seven or eight uneventful flights prior to the accident. A jump instructor was on board the accident flight, with a student and a videographer; and two additional "experienced" jumpers. The two jumpers intended to exit the airplane at an altitude of 5,000 feet, and the parachute instructor intended to conduct a tandem jump with the student from an altitude of 12,500 feet. The flight departed from runway 25, a 2,875-foot-long, 75-foot-wide, turf runway. The airplane accelerated and lifted off normally; however, during rotation the jump door, located on the right side of the airplane, opened. The pilot said he was not concerned with the door, which would not have critically impacted the airplane's performance; however, one of the experienced parachutists attempted to secure the door. The pilot yelled at him to stop, however, the parachutist continued to attempt to secure the door to the point where he was partially outside of the airplane. The pilot physically grabbed the parachutist and tired to pull him back into the airplane. During this time, the pilot became distracted, which resulted in the airplane veering left toward trees, while flying at a low airspeed. The airplane subsequently struck a stand of trees and impacted the ground. The airplane came to rest inverted in a wooded area, with the roof of the cabin and empennage separated. Examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector did not reveal any mechanical malfunctions. In addition, the pilot reported that the airplane performed as expected, without any mechanical issues. The inspector noted that the jump door, which was hinged to open upward, was separated and in the latched position. The jump door and surrounding structure were distorted due to impact damage. The videographer noted that the door was checked prior to takeoff and appeared to be secured. The pilot reported 4,010 hours of total flight experience on his most recent application for an FAA second-class medical certificate, which was dated April 27, 2010. He estimated that he had flown about 300 hours in the accident airplane. The reported weather at an airport located about 12 miles southwest of the accident site, at 1353, was: wind from 110 degrees at 3 knots; visibility 10 statute miles; few clouds at 4,800 feet, scattered clouds at 12,000 and 25,000 feet; temperature 28 degrees Celsius (C); dew point 16 degrees C; altimeter 29.98 inches of mercury.

Your not even half way up and people start moving around? You people drink to much coffee. If its 80 degrees on the ground its 55 at 6k and the people by the door are getting cold.

182's and such are very low compression and were designed for 80 octane. They run fine on regular auto gas without the addition of alcohol. These work horses are like cars in Cuba,they will be around after we're gone. Stop by Oshkosh some time and see how many "vintage" aircraft are still flying. The problem with developing lead free avgas is the high compression engines in more modern planes.The lead boost the anti knock properties and really isn't necessary for the lower compression engines, but they are looking for a one fuel replacement for the entire fleet.The third world needs the single fuel system because they don't have the infrastructure to support duel fuels, its mostly done with 55 gallon drums.
