PIA Speakers Needed!

[councilman24 37]

I'm Speaker Coordinator for the 2011 PIA Symposium.

The speaker application form is online at http://pia.com/2011/downloads/PIA/Registration_Speaker2011.pdf

My email is on the form. Contact me for questions or information.

WE NEED YOU!

I've done seminars on first aid, part time rigging, the old acid mesh problem. You may have expertise and information that you don't even realize you have.

Speakers get free registration.

There is an online registration but it seemed to be down today. Even if you register online please let me know.

Terry,

Submitted mine online combined with my exhibitor booth registration. Looks like it went through okay on the site.

Abstract of proposed presentation for Symposium 2011 by Jean Potvin and Gary Peek of the The Parks College Parachute Research Group

Presentation Title: "Computer programs for inflation modeling, opening shock, and design"

This presentation will describe a number of computer programs the Group has written over the years for simulating the opening characteristics of parachutes. Some of the programs are available for download on the Group's web site at www.pcprg.com/research.htm.

1. PIMS, the Parachute Inflation Modeling Suite, a Windows-based computer program for the inflation simulation of several types of parachute used by the military as well as by sport parachutists

2. OSCALC, the Opening Shock Calculator, a free Windows-based computer program for the computation of parachute opening shock.

3. PIFCALC, the Parachute Inflation Calculator, a free Windows-based computer program for the computation of the opening shock of manned parachutes, including sport parachutes. A related document is paper AIAA-2007-2551, Testing Without Load Cells - Can Opening Shock Be Estimated From Video Data Only?

4. TCDCALC, the Truncated Cone Decelerator (TCD) parachute design calculator, a free program to help calculate the characteristics of a TCD.


The presentation will include live demonstrations of the computer programs running on a laptop computer.

(If time permits the audience will be invited to provide input to the programs to produce results desired by the audience.)

As I said in the past I would like to see classes run by Webbing & Hardware mfg.

Riggers needs a good class on webbing from BRM & Hardware class by Wichard.

In the Riggers Forum I would like to see more Mfg. in the panel & more good riggers & be open to other ideas. Rigging is all around the world & not in the USA only.

Think worldwide!!!

Cheers

Hi Gary, no programs compatible for Apple ????

Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all.
