  1. Except that the message gets lost of time and it becomes the norm that you "need" to have an audible to land. . If it does get "lost in time" that's not the fault of the gadget, but the operator As is often the case already. WAY too many people skydiver who really shouldn't.

  4. The answer to this is REAL simple, if you do not have faith that it will work without issue for you on your next jump, set your mind at rest and get it checked by a rigger, it's a small pricve to pay for piece of mind. The rigger who packed it last would not even need to do a complete A.I.R. . You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?

  22. Was jumping in the Dolemites of southern Austria when the Cessna went real quiet. (There was a fuel vent problem) The pilot starts yelling "AUSFAHRT! in a panicky tone. The door swung open and the mountains were about 300 feet below. I gave him a 90 left and waited a bit to get back over the valley. Listen and look. jon When the pilot starts yelling "AUSFAHRT" you know you are in trouble. I am not sure what it means but it just sounds bad. Right call, it means Exit You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?
