    Anything with a "tri" prefix should come in threes



    Maybe you should ask your smart son ;).

    A trimester is a grouping of 3 months. There are 4 trimester in a calendar year. But we only had 3 trimesters of school.

    Moving the door opening altitude higher will only help if the worst case scenario of pressure increase on opening keeps the perceived altitude above any danger zone....



    Moving the door opening altitude higher will take the AAD out of its firing range. ;)


    Sigh...

    My point was : how high do you need to set the safe opening altitude. :P

    The problem is that when a super-large oil company goes under, then it can and will effect the global economy.



    Kinda like a super large investment bank, or insurance company backing mortgage derivatives?

    In the past few weeks we've had four Vigils firing due to doors opening just under 1000 feet. In both cases it looks like they were accidental openings - but many skydivers open the door of the aircraft at 1000 feet as a matter of course. It might be wise to start thinking about keeping the door closed on aircraft to a higher altitude when there are Vigils on the load, at least until the problem is better understood.



    In the absence on any relevant feedback from the manufacturer, except the classic "the units worked as designed", what altitude would be safe to open the door? What kind of altitude change can be seen by the units with a door opening on a 182? A Twin Otter? A Skyvan?

    Moving the door opening altitude higher will only help if the worst case scenario of pressure increase on opening keeps the perceived altitude above any danger zone....

  12. Well, insurance companies being what they are, if you need to use it, they may come back to you stating you were not there on a temp basis, but on a Visa, and may deny coverage... I would err on the safe side myself, and get USPA coverage.

    I'm currently in the US for the next two months for educational purposes. I brought my rig with me and want to make some jumps, but have a question about insurance.

    CSPA Policy states:
    Insurance Coverage and the Defence Fund is valid worldwide for members who are residents of Canada and is in effect while traveling outside of Canada, temporarily. i.e. vacation

    I am wondering if I need to buy temporary USPA insurance of if this will cover me for the duration of my stay.

    Thanks.



    Under what Visa (if any) are you in the US?

    Hell, if I was employed at an office that was full of women looking like that, I'd never get any work done. :S:D



    And then you should get fired. Not her.


    This being said, this has "celebrity wannabe" written all over it.

    That's because you're actually my inspiration for have posted this. It's people like you who think that every homo on the block is eating da poo-poo and anal fisting each other. Some of the poo-poo coming out of your mouth sounds exactly like this.

    Edit: Ron, is eating poop OK for married couples?



    You can't be serious. It is not OK for anyone to eat feces.



    So why is this a homosexual issue?

    Do you think gay males practice coprophilia more than straight males and females? How about anulingus? How about fellatio? How about a good old fashion hand job?

    Who do you think 2 Girls 1 cup was filmed for? Gay men?

    You can't push an object going "X" mph with another going "X" mph and get an acceleration.


    That is not what is happening in those model that were built.

    The wind on the propellers is not directly inline with the trajectory of the vehicle. It's always at an angle, due to the fact the the prop is turning, so it can continue to generate lift even if the wind is coming straight at the vehicle.

    4 years on. I still miss you.



    A light went out that day. The bits of it that we all carry with us are but a pale reminder of how bright that light was.

    I will always miss you, Shannon.



    That was a week from hell....

    "How many tri-mesters are there?"

    Add to the list if you want. I like a good laugh.



    Well, it depends! In a tear? A school year? A non-traditional school year?...

    My high school was set up in 3 trimesters.
