Clear words that slowed me down again. Thank you! For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

sounds interesting. How is it attached? For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

Moral aside there is also a legal dilema. If you hit your buddy out and he lands (maye injured) under his AAD deployed reserve you legaly might have commited bodily injury. Likely your buddy won't sue you. If he hits the ground still blacked out without any canopy out things appear different: There WILL be an investigation! And you are in. So the question is not only if you want to put your buddy in a bad situation emotionally but also in a judicial one. Too bad you can't check two boxes in this poll...

What I notice more and more is that many intermediate pilots tend to think so. When I look at highly experienced pilots I see a trend to downsize to fast and agile suits again. For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

As a rather ground hungry guy (over 100kg exit weight) I flock in a Ghost2 but still I would never think about selling my Phantom (first version). I try every new maneuver on the Phantom first because it is very forgiving if you do newbie mistakes in aerobatics. Even with the smaller wings the Phantom1 has vs. the new version and putting over 100kg on it, I still fly it at a glide of about 2.0 to 2.4. The Phantom2 has bigger wings and much better pressurisation. You'll love it! For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

The Phantom2's legwing is wide enough to walk with it easily. I've never seen anyone use a legwing cutaway. I have some landings on a Birdman Blade with the legwing closed. The Blade's legwing is much narrower and it is still no problem to run out a fast landing. (flew a Sabre2-150 loaded @ 1.6 in no wind) In normal skydiving operations I don't see a situation in that you'd want a leg wing cutaway.

...and none from Germany because they were all on the ground and enjoyed Texel's scenery. Great video! Call for sponsors: I want a Shadow! For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

e.g. plane climbs over water, declares emergency and the student in front of you is in fear of exiting low, plane gets lower - you hang low under reserve over water... Just one of a million possible scenarios. Sure! In my country you may not do your first jump if you did not get basic instructions on how to land in a tree.

I liked the video very much! Nice plane, cool jump! When I look at the Pitts - doesn't it have any flaps? Without these speeds might really get very high? Great try, go on and dock after 20 more tries.

Great idea! Tracking suits are a lot of fun and you can practice flying patterns already. Try to get a coach tell you how to set up a good pattern and you will be amazed how that suit flies. Maybe after a few jumps on it that coach will tell you how to pull out of the track safely. Then you are extremely close to the wingsuit experience already. When your experience meets the coach's expectations one day, you will be able to show off with one of the best first-flight videos there are. (Once had a guy that greatly flew the wingsuit on his back doing his second jump in it. - 1000 freefly/VRW jumps might have helped him.)

On RW jumps the approaches are done 'in your sector'. I do see it very often that this does not happen on WS formations and pilots cross flight paths diving at high speeds. I also only know one wingsuit LO who always speaks about that on every formation WS flight. To me it seems like it is not discussed enough on many formation briefings. Should we sharpen awareness about sector flying? Are there WS pilots that are experienced RW-LOs and could educate those that know nothing except flying nylon? (Like me.) How do you teach new RW flyers about sectors? Can that be transferred to WS pilots? How can we adapt exit orders to the fact that most WS formations don't fly straight lines but patterns? Are there RW skills that should be trained by WS pilots that are not commonly discussed? Am I just talking BS to early in the morning and should drink more coffee before posting? mccordia:***I know GPS navigation in cars is a great addition, but it hasnt made driving a whole lot safer either Maybe we should try TCAS?

Topic is already in discussion here For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

disclaimer: I am in no way big way exerienced, just searching for solutions to make WS fomations safer. It's not the rule for large RW formations. Maybe we should talk about 'fly in your sector'? Are there technics we can learn from the experience RW crowd here? (Aside of the obvious 'look where you fly') For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

a) You would be slightly more ready since you have far more experience with your canopy's deployment sequence. b) 200 jumps is the minimum! No one said everyone is ready to fly a wingsuit then. You wouldn't be the first one with over 200 jumps getting the advise to do some more jumps before flying a WS. Since you said "I would be no more ready to demo than I am right now.", I hope you would not search for WS training then, since you are smart enough to know it would not be clever already now. To make it clear: Minimum means that there is no way to get the needed experience in less jumps. You are right that jump numbers is not the only criteria to use. That is why there is no guaranty that you are ready then. For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

Looking at your camera angle it seems like you are not trying to arch in order to gain stability. The camera seems to point to the ground at all times. Look up to the horizon first on instability problems. That diving exit is not easy to do - looked great in the beginning Did you try to turn 180° immediately after exit?

VB: Don't search excuses! Get on the car, there are 3 Cessna Caravans and at least one hot air balloon waiting for you! For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

Thank you for the great description of the feeling we love and why we do all this.

Ouch! That dude was lucky not to get any lines around his neck or catching snag points. Also his pull position looks strange. You either pull in full flight, or you close the wings. Never seen this style of pulling down the knees and leaving all wings open during deployment. Looks like he might not only want to work on his canopy choices?

Then don't only geek to the guy that did the flyby but also ask him stuff! :) @Jarno: Dude! Students are waiting! For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

Nice shots! On one photo the chest straps looks strange - is it OK? (see attached) For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

Looks like you had a lot of fun there! :) Oh, those crazy Belgians - I miss you here in the east! BTW: If you can induce such a twist with your legwing - why not trying to untwist with your armwing? Opening the correct armwing in the right moment get you out there quickly. For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
