oh yeh on currency, from the BPA manual - REVISION TRAINING 3.1. AFF and the Category System 3.1.1. Revision training must take place prior to a Student Parachutist’s first descent of the day. The type of revision training will be as required by the CI and must be recorded in the Student Parachutist’s Training Record Card or Log Book. 3.1.2. Should a gap exceeding 1 week and up to a maximum of 1 month lapse since the last recorded Revision Training Session, a practical and theoretical assessment (including exits and malfunctions) must be undertaken and if appropriate a written examination. This is to be recorded in the Student Parachutist’s Training Record Card or Log Book. 3.1.3. Should a gap exceeding 1 month and up to a maximum of 3 months elapse since the last recorded Revision Training Session, the basic training syllabus must be revised, including a written examination. The duration of this revision training will be as required by the CI. This is to be recorded in the Student Parachutist’s Training Record Card or Log Book. 3.1.4. Should a gap exceeding 3 months elapse since the last recorded Revision Training Session, the full basic training syllabus must be revised, or complete retraining may be required. This will be as required by the CI and is to be recorded in the Student Parachutist’s Training Record Card or Log Book.

hello, i jump at nethers and if there's a heap of tandems coming through then yeh manifest can be long, it's also pretty popular for AFF and such, during my levels i probably only got 2 jumps in the entire day, once i hit consoles it ramps right up though as there's less requirement for instructors and you only take up 1 slot instead of 1,2 or 3. the weather has been a bit contentious for me lately with a couple of wasted journeys but that's the UK for you, if you want guaranteed weather, go do your AFF in spain or portugal. i personally wish i'd done static line, i think it would of been cheaper but hey ho, i've only my level 8 to do now and i'm licensed. what i would say though, is given the people who are based at nethers, home of APA, Red Devils, canopy and wingsuit champs, the guy who wrote the canopy handling manual is the CI, i cant think of anywhere better to learn in the UK (blue touch paper is lit, retire well back ). oh yeh, you can camp for free, or pay a fiver for a bunk. i live in portsmouth so could probably sort you a lift from time to time to save you bringing the car. for costs - i reckon i've spent about 3grand so far, but a fair chunk of that was level retakes cos i'm a lousy skydiver atb and good luck!

+1 for relax, it's hard but it's a BIG factor. i've repeated lvl 4, lvl 5 3times, lvl6 once. then span out on my consoles.... last consoles have been really good though, so yeh, reeeeellllaaaxxxxx.

he was the one who stole it

cant see the picture, but this - http://www.chutingstar.com/replacement-ft50-lens says you just pop the back off

the ad hominem is shameful the best thing to come out of this debacle is how fired up people appear to have gotten about voting.

i think it will be remain as change is difficult, people don't really like change, so stuck on the fence, most will vote remain or not at all.

you completed AFF in 7 Jumps and you develop video games in California? FML ;) Welcome dude, I hope you have a great time :)

any good making a you tube vid?

congratulations, you are in for the best ride of your life! and i really dont mean that to be coarse :) good luck!

these should sort you right out

if it helps any, here is my record to date - AFF level 1 - pass AFF level 2 - pass AFF level 3 - pass AFF level 4 - fail AFF level 4 - pass AFF level 5 - fail AFF level 5 - fail(passed in mid air but was having waayyyyy too much fun and lost it.) AFF level 5 - fail AFF level 5 - pass(just) i'm off to the wind tunnel soon i think, i need to get control of my turns. keep at it :)

how about upload them to photobucket or other photosharing site and post the links.

forgot to do my exit pulse. :/ i'm a noob, i have limited material to work with ;) oh, after 2 successful 360s i got carried away and put in a mega input, turning me into a washing machine on spin cycle. instructor had to sort me out... and i failed lvl5 again... but man that was fun :)

i'm not sure, but i sense you might not be happy with the given advice? ;)

it's the only thing i can contribute :):) good luck with the site

"several of the passengers aboard the crashed plane returned to the dropzone to continue jumping" love it. "hey chad, this plane's broke, lets go get another" :D

Goooooo GRAPEFRUIT!

Powerfull searching possible. powerful.

another vote for tunnel time. i did my aff level3 and during it, went into an unintended turn due to leg positioning. 4 minutes in the tunnel and i was stable and doing left and right turns, up and down with fair consistency. went back saturday to do my level 4... got sunburnt sat around all day waiting for the wind to drop (it didnt) :) cheers

i've opted to not tell mine when i'm doing it and also told her of my plan. i have a mate who lives on the way to the local dz so now "i'm going to steve's" has a new meaning. whether she forgot or is using it to manage her fears, i dunno... but it certainly has reduced the anxiety. just do it, availability bias will soon kick in that skydiving does not equal death.
