Skydive Spain in Seville! ... Great instructors, friendly atmosphere and fast twin turbines to 15,000ft... They have both BPA Advanced instructors and USPA plus the student equipment is excellent. I know lots of people who have completed AFF there including myself.

I did thanks..... Should be sorted soon. Not really sure why I would attempt to repair myself when it is under warranty....

Hi, I tried to find an existing topic but couldn't. My Alti II is getting stuck on the way to altitude - it's off by about 500ft to 1000ft before i 'knock it' and it pops straight up. I don't think it gets significantly stuck in FF, but I have nothing to compare it to apart from my audible. Is there an easy fix or any tips?

For main parachutes......

Exactly the same! And i do occasionally hear the flatline during the last snivel... Which sort of worried me to begin with but happy with it now as it's only once in a while.

I've never taken instruction in the UK but Black Knights is an excellent DZ... That's about as far north as I get but can definitely recommend it as a DZ. Skydive Spain is absolutely fantastic.... Brilliant coaches, excellent Planes, and the weather should see you complete AFF in a few days...

Far too much time on your hands...... Sleep, Jump, Land (repeat as many times as possible) - Beer, Sleep

Thanks - is it worth calling up and doing it beforehand or just doing it on the day?

I have a spare weekend on a business trip to LA next weekend and was going to spend it at Perris. As I'm only there for a weekend I'm not going to bother bringing a rig so i have a couple of questions: Will I need to sign up for temprary USPA membership and can I do it on the day? Is it impossible to hire a rig for the weekend? Do I need to speak to someone in advance to sort this? Apologise if this has been answered elsewhere I couldn't find it.... Hopefully there will be a few people around for a bit of free flying I will have my FAI licence, log book etc with me, anything else I need to know?

+1 - very annoying!!!! :-)

In the UK you will need an AAD!

Regardless of DZ rules, I reckon work towards other people filming you for the next 100+ jumps - always fun to be in the video not taking the video!

You're allowed to shoot camera with 75 jumps? And with a non A licence holder?

They'd be better off jumping with more experienced jumpers who have cameras - the person wiithout the camera is in all the footage

I was just 'RTFM' actually
