  13. You see these regulations as a staircase. As in : the jumper will go to the maximum allowed. I see them as a ramp, as in : can go up to, but no further than... scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  14. Some leeway with a course is good , but do you think that 1.7 loading for 201 jumps is reasonable? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  15. Maybe they consider that >1000 jumps should be smart enough for a decent canopy choice In France, the old size & loading chart went up to 600 jumps. Went up to 2000 a couple of years ago. No canopy type selection. For me the Dutch system is far better. More permissive yet with clear limits. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  22. I had sub 2000 ft exits. It is an OK altitude to exit, provided you are ready for it. It all depends on the plan. If I planned to pull at 3500 and end pulling at 2500, I have screwed up and ended low. If I plan to open at 2500 and open at 2500, I know where I am going, and the altitude is decent. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  23. it seems you had exactly what I felt for my 1st tandem. Adrenaline "overdose", sensory overload.... Dissapeared for the 2nd one. Still looking for that effect, 15 years and 2000 jumps later. Never came close to it. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
