Has anyone ever jumped out of a float plane?
ington6 replied to ington6's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
What about a 206 on floats? Easier exit? What do you think gph would be at continuous climb? Half tanks I think you would half enough fuel for two tandems, floats (not amphib), -

Wow thanks, . Well yeah, do you personally think it is reasonable to run tandems from a beaver with floats? The location is very remote and the extra cost could be passed along to the jumpers. Also, how many gallons per load do you think a beaver with floats would go through? Looks like they would have to be 10k jumps from sea level, hand cams, and maybe 4 tandems? or 3 with a fun jumper or camera flyer. -

Cool. Wondering how I can find the performance numbers for a beaver on floats? the floats must add a lot of drag but it would e damn fun to do jumps from a float plane -

I know floats use up some precious useful load and add drag, but has anyone done it? is there any place to figure out the performance of a beaver on floats or a 206? -
Whats goin on? Colorado is an amazing place to jump. I've been to Mile Hi and to Colorado Sky Sports. My recommendation would be to go to Colorado Sky Sports to get current. They are like a family over there. Small DZ, good people, fun times, relaxed atmosphere.. Mile Hi is still good for the planes and consistency but CSS will always be my fam. Just a suggestion. Ask for Randy, he is the man.
