Z_Smile 0 #1 June 26, 2015 Hello. I'm looking for any information about jumps from this plane. may be someone can share experience. Interesting how good this plane can be used for skydive. Need any upgrades to the door, cabin (may be seat belts), or footboard install. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #2 June 26, 2015 Last one I knew that was flying jumpers went in with multiple people killed when the wing fell off in flight: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4625860#4625860 FAA classifies the plane as Experimental so its not certified to carry jumpers at all. Where are you planning on flying it at?Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

format 1 #4 June 27, 2015 http://www.pilotspost.com/arn0000216 QuoteAsked why the Comp Air, he said: “It is an affordable turbine to fly, challenging at times, very fast and can carry an unbelievable load.” Peter Lawson, a pilot with 2185 hours logged of which 1153 are on taildraggers, and owner of the Pretoria Skydiving Club, owns ZU-DNM, a Compair 7XLE. Peter first flew her at the end of November 2008 and completed his conversion to type in the early months of 2009. Peter who hired the aircraft from its original owners with an option to buy it used it until November 2009 when ZU-DNM was registered it his name. It had 150 hours since new at the time. “She is used mostly for skydiving and with the pilot and five skydivers, she climbs at an average of 1200 f/pm and cruise at 185 knots. “I have 370 hours on the Comp Air with over 1400 take off and landings on this aircraft and she has a total time of 522 hours since new.” Peter said. http://www.iloveskydiving.co.za/pictures.html?func=viewcategory&catid=3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
