That we'll definitely do and test on the ground first. First, of course, we'll ground control. There will be a long way of training to go till we're able to fly together, close to each other. Sorry, did I get it right that you used this system for visually impaired jumpers? How did you managed "pull both breaks" for landing or "let both breaks up" commands with horns? In paragliding many students tend to pull breaks too much and this can cause a wing stall, so very often we have an instructor yelling "hands up!!!"

I googled for information about Dan Rossi - hard to find exact technical advises, you're right. The reason I ask: I'm a paraglider pilot and last week two blind guys made tandem flights in our club. Now they think of doing solo flights, and this made me really concerned about the radio guiding. We use radio for all the students but sometimes radio fails, there're several reasons that can cause the fail. Thus, blind skydivers safety experience can be very useful for us. I'm pretty sure our guys will succeed. I'll support them as much as I can.

I know that blind people can skydive and use radio guide when landing. The question is: what radios do they use (model), how thay ensure that the radio does not fail? What whould they do if the radio fails in the air? Maybe some other gear, not only radio is used? Can anyone share experience or contacts? All the articles on the Net are great and inspiring, but no practical advise or contacts, unfortunately...
