Unstable 9 #1 January 19, 2008 I am having a hard time locating any dropzones that use a 206U, Caravan, Twin Otter, Pac, or tailgate that train students on the static line Method. I'm not wanting to get into a discussion on which method is better (Hence this thread not being in the Instructor's Forum), but I would be really interested in finding some photographs on Student, (Not military) Static line exits from a non C-182 platform. I appreciate it. It is helping me in some of my pet-research projects in aircraft economic analysis and the feasibility of smaller, club style dropzones training students with more advanced aircraft. *Edited for grammar and to clarify a few points=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unstable 9 #3 January 19, 2008 Thank you! It looks like you have a Caravan? Does anybody know if there are any DZ's in the US that train students on the SL method with a larger aircraft?=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #4 January 19, 2008 You might contact livendive - I believe he's doing IAD out of a Caravan in Washington. Different method of course, but there are probably at least some similarities in the challenges."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

ladydyver 0 #5 January 19, 2008 This will be a new thing for our DZ - I am interested to see how the students will do - the different techniques that will be used to teach them in exiting ect.DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!

JSBIRD 1 #6 January 20, 2008 I flew a standard Caravan for 3 years, putting US Army soldiers out on SL at 1800-2000agl...often hundreds of them per day. BASE359"Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilchief 1 #7 January 20, 2008 We've done SL from an AN-28. Not really a problem, but some mods has too be done. The student will get tossed around a bit more since it's a tailgate. Also when doing dummypulls the student need to do it after 2sec so the instuctor can see the pull. The reason is that the canopy will deploy faster then from a c-182."Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you long to return." - Da Vinci www.lilchief.no Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
