seems you know everything. but umm.. i dont have a home dz. anyway its nice to meet you raff the GOD.
-
DZ and I we have talked. I've already learned from it. In THIS inccident it's 100% my fault. I don't defend myself unless it's not true. And yes, the main interest is how long my punishment should "really" last and I did get some answers.
-
You were not there, not knowing me, but you're pretty sure that I have exhibited bad judgement in the past. WOW!
-
Thank you for your PM. Anyone who have jumped more than me is an expert to me. And I am willing to take your advice. Thanks again. Blue Skies and hot dives
-
Thank you very much! I definitely will not let that happen again.
-
I'm a novice only have 28 jumps. I don't live in the US so I actually don't have a home DZ. Why you keep assming that I'v done something wrong in the past? Do I have to jump at one place forever?
-
I was doing belly so how could I know if others behind me have jumped or not? Is there any others than gowlerk, who's making a wild guess just like you,that I replied confrontationally?
-
5K was as planned. I wasn't aware that I was the only one out there until I deployed. I fully understand how serious it was. I could not only kill myself but probably everybody on the plane.
-
Sir I really really wish you were there.
-
I was new at that DZ. And if is't only one day grounded I'd love to take it.

Thank you sir. Thank you for replying.

I never been a situation like this before. I didn't expect that the door would close again. All that in my mind was that I need to go as quickly as possible cause there were many others waiting behind me. I did not look down. I pulled at 5k and reached holding area at 3k.

Good to know. But emmm... seems you didn't follow this common thing yourself? http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4899262

Thanks for your advice. Next time make sure replying me, not husslr187.

Banned from what? Exited from what? What lights? A few guys exited first and when it turned to me the green light switched to the red because of the clouds. About 90 sec later the red light turned off and I was supposed to close the door but I thought the light was broken so I exited. Also when red off the guy by the exit door pointed at the door wanted to me helping to close the door. But I completely misunderstood I thought he's giving me a good to go gesture so I just gone. BTW The airplane was level flight with reduced power and airspeed and flaps.
-
What could happen to the pilot? Will the pilot get a warning?
-
In your opinion how long should a jumper be banned who exited while no lights on?

Ground wind changed when landing.
swotcox replied to swotcox's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Yes I agree with you. But what if in an extreme situation? Like..uh.. the downwind is too strong and if you adhere to the pre-planned pattern you know it's highly possible end up with a tree landing? Some jumpers who landed ahead of you changed their final turns. Also, you have a reletive open area and you won't collision with anyone if you changed your pattern. Maybe someone's upon you but that's fine 'cause you got a bigger problem you're hitting the tree:) -

Yes I have enough altitude and will not effect any other jumpers whether I change my direction of final turn or not. And if some jumpers ahead of me change the pattern and some don’t, should I keep go pattern as planned landing downwind or change the direction for a softer landing? -

swotcox replied to swotcox's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
If the ground wind changed into the opposite direction, what is the correct reaction? Should I follow others’ landing pattern who landed ahead of me? -
can anyone help with the exit order please?
