oklahoma prop strike

Recommended Posts

A few weeks ago I had posted an add on the bonfire.. This add was to notify my friends and fellow skydivers of a prospective safety hazard due to an airplane prop strike..this information that i had posted was only a speculation on present information.. the airplane has been overhauled by an exelent mechanic that took the proper procedures to fix an renew us (skydivers) of our safety.. The dropzone owner in my own opinon has been and will be one of my best friends for a long time.. I didnt mean to cause any harm again and i feel that this place deserves an a+ for following proper procedures.. sencerly justin

He was referring to a propstrike against a metal pole in a hangar by a jump plane at his DZ. It appears that his prior concern was that the engine on the plane might not be inspected for damage incident to the propstrike. Propstrikes can damage the crankshaft. I think he was writing to say that the engine was subsequently inspected during prop replacement, and that the plane was safe and the DZ was properly maintaining their plane, and that that prior message should not be inferred to mean otherwise.
