There is nothing serious about this at all. Any place that allows it, TI or not, is a mismanaged clusterfuck. Maybe you should go to management and tell them you won't be a customer of a DZ that carelessly degrades the reputation of the sport. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,644 #3 September 20 You seem to have an issue with at least one TM at your dropzone. The DZO is probably a better person to take it up with. Because yeah, there aren't a lot of good reasons unless maybe he's wingsuiting. They land all over the place because they enjoy it. Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only reasonable excuse for landing off the DZ or outside the designated PLA is if both your parachutes are still in the container. No enforcement = No compliance.
