    Don't know how many jumps are on the canopy as I bought it from PD's demo canopy stock. I have about 200 on it. Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

    pd pulse

    My experience. Went to Moab with a Pilot 140. Density altitude of 7700 Feet.Light and variable winds. Got my ass handed to me. UPT was there with demo rigs with Pulse's in them. Demoed one(170) and went home and bought one. Lands long and eats altitude in turns. Opens quickly with no pain but not always on heading. Absolutely no problem shutting it down on landing in low/no wind. Your mileage may vary.

  3. I may have spoke to fast. If you follow this link you can see it. Just drag your cursor over to Florida and zoom in with the + Hold down your left mouse button while you drag with the cursor. http://skyvector.com/ Looks like the tfr will only affect you guys in Saturday morning from 11 to 12:15 Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.
  4. Your pretty much screwed after 11 on Saturday till late Sunday afternoon. The FAA has issued a flight advisory and notam to alert pilots of an upcoming presidential temporary flight restriction over the Vero Beach-Palm City, Florida, area on March 28 and 29. The FAA started reaching out to pilots in the area March 20 in an effort to decrease the number of TFR violations that typically occur in the state with such a high density of flight activity. The notam establishes two 30-nautical-mile-radius TFRs and two inner 10-nm-radius general aviation no-fly zones, each extending from the surface up to but not including 18,000 feet. One TFR will be in place for President Barack Obama's arrival and departure from St. Lucie County International Airport (KFPR) in Fort Pierce. It will be in effect from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. local on March 28 and from 4 to 5 p.m. local on March 29. A TFR over Witham Airport (KSUA) will be in effect for the duration of the president’s visit, from 11:45 a.m. local on March 28 to 4:45 p.m. local on March 29. Gateway procedures for aircraft that need to operate at Witham Airport are detailed in the flight advisory and notam. Melbourne International Airport (KMLB) and Palm Beach International Airport (KPBI) have been designated as TSA “security screening sites” for aircraft that need to fly into Witham during the TFR’s effective times, according to the flight advisory. The FAA reminded pilots that the agency can take administrative action ranging from levying civil penalties to suspending or revoking an airman certificate against those who do not comply with the airspace restrictions and procedures. In addition, the U.S. government can pursue criminal charges or even use deadly force if the aircraft is determined to be a security threat. “Pilots must be vigilant and check notams before flight,” said Tom Zecha, AOPA manager of aviation security. “Florida has a poor track record of a high number of TFR violations. Pilots must do their part by checking notams and being aware of where they are flying to reduce the number of airspace violations.” Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.
  5. I would not be surprised that the Class 3 medical requirement for GA pilots goes away in the future. There has been no Class 3 medical requirement for the light sport segment of GA for the last 10 years. AOPA and the EAA have been working to eliminate the requirement and congress is on board. It will only be a matter of time. Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

  7. Are they the same between different manufactures, specificly UPT and Sunpath? Would a mlw18 measurement on a m-series be the same as a c18 on an Odyssey? Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.
  8. Wow, 50?! Any pictures? Does this happen on a particular day at LP? Second Saturday of the boogie. Sunset. Before the runway was paved and the economy went in the toilet the aircraft for the cross country were the DC3, Skyvan, two Twin Otters and a Cessna. Not quite sure but I think there was 106 on the cross county back then.

  9. Perhaps I should have been more specific in my request so even an asshole skygod could understand what I was looking for some help with. Got a new GoPro 3+ that I have never jumped with. I could use some help with the settings that work well in freefall. Taking it to a boogie this weekend and don't have a lot of time to experiment with it nor the equipment with to review the footage prior to returning home 10 days later. But thanks for the input, you have been most helpful. Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.
  10. Just got it. Did a search and didn't come up with any results. Could someone point me in the right direction? Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.
  11. The FAA has advised ongoing inspections of certain stainless steel control cables, but will not require 15-year replacement. AOPA file photo. The FAA has advised ongoing inspections of certain stainless steel control cables, but will not require 15-year replacement. AOPA file photo. Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority has issued an airworthiness directive mandating a 15-year replacement cycle for control cable assemblies made from certain types of stainless steel. The assemblies are installed in a range of aircraft, both helicopters and fixed-wing. The FAA, however, will not follow suit. An agency spokesman said the FAA studied the issue in the past, and determined that a special airworthiness information bulletin issued in 2004 will be sufficient to maintain safety. That bulletin advises of potential corrosion and cracking with a particular alloy (known as SAE-AISI 303 Se), and broadly advised inspection of control cables and fittings during 100-hour and/or annual inspections. The FAA noted that foreign regulators have jurisdiction over their own aircraft, and made no comment on the AD issued by CASA tat requires replacement of applicable cables and fittings with 15 years of service. The CASA notice does not include an estimate of how many aircraft and operators are affected, but anticipates that the AD “may lead to a spares and/or maintenance personnel availability shortage.” Operators in Australia were given until Jan. 1, 2018 to comply.

  12. And to manifest before you're packed and ready, thereby jumping in line in front of other jumpers who are already waiting? Don't need an app to do that... Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

  14. Most aircraft cables are no stainless. You can get them but they are not standard. But I did reciently inspect the cables and pulleys in my 56 182 during the annual inspection and they only needed a little retentioning. I can't see a skydiver pulling floor panels to check cables. Can't see them going into the wings either. Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

  23. Just read the 182 section on Diver driver and its full of inaccuracies. Maximum door opening speed is not 100. My 182 is placarded max door opening speed 80 mph. Same as any other 182 I've flown. If I could get 300 degree cylinder temperatures on jump run I would be thrilled. I would need about a 5 mile jump run to cool down that much. Who ever wrote that never flew a plane with a 6 cylinder engine analyzer. You can't shock cool below 300 degrees cyl heat temp. Full rpm with no cut? Yea just blow that AFF student right off the step. Add power if you feel buffeting? Why? Lower the nose. Add power and you better be on the trim ball because that's what causes spins, a low airspeed stall and being out of trim.

  24. Stall speed clean at gross weight is 62 mph plus I have vortex generators that are supposed to reduce that another 8%. It's never been an issue. Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.
