AggieDave 6 #13 May 26, 2006 On a 1956 C-182. 50B. Yup, we have that 182 now, although the passenger's step on the strut, the one that was stock for the plane, was cut off under the jumper's step on the strut. The OEM step was the problem, it stuck in the jumper's bootie. Its a really great 182, IMO the fastest climbing stock 182 I've ever seen. Doesn't touch the old Green Machine that McBride had, but then again, that plane wasn't exactly stock either.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Stevehend15 0 #14 May 26, 2006 I just got a suit with booties and wondering how hard it is to get cought on the step. Its not a problem now because I jump a King Air, but I will be jumping a 182 soon. Can a hook knife solve that situation or am I out of luck if it happens?

AggieDave 6 #15 May 26, 2006 A hook knife is good to have anyways. A 182 isn't necissarily a problem, it depends on how it is setup. In this regards it was previously setup incorrectly. There was a factory step under the jump step. It was a 2" wide strip with a rounded edge that stuck out about 4" from under the jumper step forward towards the prop. Basically it seemed like it was specifically designed to catch jumper's booties. Its not something that I worry about. 182s have been used as the skydiving industry's workhorse since the 1960s and how many times has this happened? Once. Sure you could worry about it, but I don't. I worry more about loosing an engine (which has happened to me in a jump plane 182 before) then that, and I don't worry about loosing an engine all that much at all.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Stevehend15 0 #16 May 26, 2006 Thanks...... On the subject of engine failure. What would happen if a loaded King Air cut out? I also just got a hook knife but Square 1 forgot the lanyard for it so its useless till then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #17 May 26, 2006 PM DiverDriver, he would be more qualified to answer that question. I asked that question once to our pilot that was flying a Beech 99 that we had (really similar AC). The anwer wasn't very good.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
