Me, on the other hand ... I have a 10 day period where I'm "grounded" then I can get back in the air for another 6 1/2 weeks. My reserve was packed on 8/11, so it expires on 12/9. I can get a repack then to meet the 120 day rule, or just wait till the 19th and jump it through the 180 days. I think I can take a week off to extend my repack.Of course, that assumes that dropzones are aware of the FAA's interpretation (hopefully PIA/USPA et. al. will issue some sort of broader communication about that). I'm planning to double-check before I run off to any boogies during that time period."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.
