I don't understand all the concern. Its not like he isn't aware. Its his choice. If he wasn't aware then educating him would be the correct thing to do. As long as he doesn't hurt anyone else who cares. I think the golf clapping was quite appropriate. Skygodding on about it won't change anything.

That's sort of how I feel...About more people being killed by other people running into them. That's where the focus should be. If someone wants to do stupid stuff under a small canopy and their own risk assessment doesn't make them think twice, so be it. If they get a motorcycle learners permit and then buy a high performance sport bike nobody stops them.

With a lease or a loan you'll probably have to insure it for skydiving ops. Last time I checked Falcon was the only game in town and it was 6 grand a year. Thats a lot of loads just for that nut.

With a 182 it would be 8 jumpers per hour@ $25 or $200 per hour which is break even. There really is no money to be made with a non turbine aircraft. You would have to charge $35 a slot to make any kind of a profit. It's sort of like a tandem rig. It's a tool used to make money from something else.

Dug out my log books to look for the STC for my 56 182 and what I found was that the door/step mod was done on a 337 field approval. I have an STC from uspa for the removal of the front and rear seat and baggage shelf, and installation of floor level seat belt brackets to accommodate four occupants in addition to the pilot. I'm not sure there ever was an stc for the door, at least I've never seen one. I have also heard the feds won't do a field approval for the door without "engineering data" from a desiginated engineer. Don't know if this is true or not.

, Don't hold your breath. You'll turn blue. There won't be any new BSR's until USPA members elect BOD members who are willing to do what's right for the sport today and into the future, not just continue doing what was right for the sport 20 years ago... They haven't done a whole lot where people have been being killed right and left by people doing high performance landings, so why should they care if some kid wants to take himself and his buddy out... at least they bring it on themselves.

The first time I did my wifes Micron with the skyhook I was a little confused with the cable routing for the collins lanyard. Manual didn't have anything about it except in the reserve repack section.The maintenance and care section 6 refers you to section 5 and neither of those sections refer to the proper cable routing. So if you don't know and pull the cut away for maintence you could route the cable outside the lanyard. Mini rant over.
