BillyVance 34 #51 August 23, 2005 I remember jumping from Dave Norcutt's Super King Air T-tail 200 (the one with the long porch) at a Tullahoma, TN boogie back in '96 or '97, and we were regularly getting as high as 16,000 - 17,000 feet on every load.

Eule 0 #53 August 23, 2005 Most of the time I jump at "10", which usually works out somewhere between 10,000 and 10,500 AGL. A few times I've jumped at "11", 11,000 to 11,200 AGL or so. The highest I've ever gone was this past Sunday, at 11,500 AGL, and had a really good skydive. All of the jumps were from the same C-182 - if it was a person it would have been eligible for POPS 6 years ago. :) Field elevation is approximately 920 feet MSL.

It was fun! We took two 182s (and a 206 and a Caravan) up to 13 for a formation load a few weeks ago. Damn, that was a long ride (I was in one of the 182s). To answer the question... 10K in a 182 12K in the 206 13K in the Caravan (nope, we never ever get extra altitude)"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

slayer152 0 #60 August 23, 2005 At Deland its 13,500 on every load. But just across the way and Skydive Space Center in Titiusville they are going to 15,000 every load and have a 18,000 for $5 more. Looking forward to going over there soon. _______________The only thing in life that doesnt take effort is failure________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
homer 0 #61 August 23, 2005 My home DZ anywhere from 10.2K to 11.5K AGL depending on how hot it is and how many people are on the load (C206). The highest AGL I've been would be 15K and that was a 13 way linked to a Tandem. The highest I've ever been would be 17.5k ASL or 14K AGL and that was the sunset X-country load at Lost Prairie this year (C207). Edit to add- We pay $22 a jump thats supposed to go to 11K so when we only get 10.2K it sucks. What are you paying? CSA #699 Muff #3804 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hemphog 0 #62 August 24, 2005 At our last boogie our final otter load (with all the girls helpin out), took us to 17950 ASL (we're 500 feet ASL). So that's a 17450 ft jump. We sucked er down to "3 grand" (on alit 2.. that's 15000ft) and 4 of us were under canopy. Workin some CRW Took me 15min to get down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Ya we'll rape the local objects, and maybe do some jumps too!"

Newbie 0 #63 August 24, 2005 We pay £20 or £19 if bought on a block of 10, which is about $35 but i'm in the UK so i don't think you can compare like for like. "Skydiving is a door" Happythoughts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
