  1. This. If you really want to disconnect it yourself, at least have a rigger supervise. Like Twardo said, it's not rocket surgery but doing something wrong could adversely effect the airworthiness of the systems components. It would be far too easy to offer a rigger a cold beverage in trade for supervising. Hell, ya might learn something about your gear as well.

  2. Did get a little bit tight on the touch and go at MCO in the box. Great landing that ate a little more runway than I wanted and my FO wasn't on the ball getting me back to flaps 1... just about ran out of runway (was inside the last 1000' when I rotated). If I had more time I would've disabled the computers and rolled it, just for fun.

  3. My second approach and landing was ILS minimums at dusk. A little right of center line but overall a nice approach and landing. We swapped out and another pair got in the seats and we got back in the observer seats... that last landing was a doozie... I didn't know those sims could so well illustrate a bad landing, I never even landed a Cessna that hard!

  4. +1 It was like a box of chocolates if you never jumped with them before. Some were flat and slow, some put their feet on their ears and away they go.

  5. For things like that, I started doing the UPT method which is just a zig-zag down, raise the needle and foot and move the work back to the starting point and do another zig-zag down. It upset me a lot less that way.

  6. Got to play in an A320 full motion sim at JetBlue. Got a couple instrument approaches (non coupled of course) in too as well as my high altitude endorsement and a good full day of systems class. Can't imagine the pace the guys getting typed to fly for them have to maintain but at least our instructor was fun.

  9. I would consider a drone to be a UAV that is capable of flying itself. But that's my opinion on the matter. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

  11. Well, if they're flying in the US airspace... I'd like to know what FAR he's thinking of. The one I think of: "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
  12. I was getting $40-$50/jump (which included pack job) on my Sigma. Worked out great, did the maintenance and repacks on it myself to help keep the costs down. Bought the rig, jumped it for a season or two, then sold it for what I paid for it, the only difference is I jumped it and I actually patched a few of the holes the previous owner wasn't concerned about. (and I turned the slider the correct way... opened less like a freight-train like that) "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
  13. Luckily I never really had this issue doing tandems, half the time if they're not getting video and they ask if we can do flips, I say sure but don't tell anyone. Once the canopy is open they talk about how awesome it was flipping over... but we never flipped Remember, most students seemingly lose their exact recollection of the exit, they were in the plane, then they were in freefall. You could almost convince them they blacked out for the first couple of seconds sometimes.

  14. For MSN news: Hit Alt, click View, then under Zoom uncheck 'Zoom Text Only'. For USPA: I haven't got the slightest f-in clue... It annoyed me to the point I just stopped going there.

  15. Agreed. Would you (as a mod) prefer that I post nude pictures that were possibly released against the persons will on this forum? Let me know.

  16. Yeah, no... not posting them, nor am I gonna post links. You could search "the fappening" for more info. Most of the sites carrying the pictures have deleted them already.

  17. Allegedly a large list of celebrities have had their iCloud accounts hacked and there is a large number of their nudes all over the interwebs. http://tech.firstpost.com/news-analysis/apple-icloud-hack-nude-photos-of-jennifer-lawrence-kate-upton-and-other-celebs-leaked-231791.html (not a link to the pictures) "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

  19. Unfortunately you take away one method and they will evolve another. I absolutely hate anyone that would consider it reasonable to drug a person for the purposes of getting their rocks off.

  20. That hasn't always worked, so an additional hex wrench in the toolbox is welcome. I agree that it's good to have extra tools, but when has my suggestion not worked? Honest question. I'm curious to know how someone can be drugged if her drink is always under her control? I've heard stories where the bartender would slip the drug into the drink for a guy and give it to the unsuspecting lady. Now you may say what about just drinking bottled/canned beer... well, I don't know any bars that will give you an unopened beer, pretty sure it's the law that it has to be opened before they hand it to you.

  21. I am a rigger, and no, they don't. I could've walked out of my O/P with a Back type rating having only inspected and packed a single square reserve during the test. I stuck with it and did a Seat type rig for the extra rating. Rounds are EASY and any rigger that doesn't want to pack them is just lazy. The hardest part in packing some of them was figuring out how to get good tension on them in my apartment. There are probably riggers out there who have never touched a round.

  25. Try different meds. Everyone responds differently to different meds. It usually takes a while to figure out what works best for you. Even then it can change over time.
