cbain 0 #1 December 4, 2004 Just looked in my logbook and it's almost 2 months since my last jump. I've been working 7 days a week for a while now and haven't been able to get off. Today I finally fanagle a day off and then wake up to find the forecast has changed to almost complete cloud cover! I know some places will continue to jump when it's real cloudy and rely on GPS for spotting but it always makes me nervous when I can't see the ground to spot. I have a relatively new canopy am two months uncurrent and don't want to have to land in someone's back yard because the spot was off. Not to mention the effect Thanksgiving has had on wingloading! Arrghh, so I'm debating on whether staying uncurrent is any better though because it may be a while before I can get another day off work. So do you jump through clouds, why or why not?

Zep 0 #2 December 4, 2004 The DZ's I use all have gps. an we jump cloud. as long as cloud base is higher than opening altitude, They also have experienced pilots. IE: pilots that understand the upper wind conditions So yes at DZ's that I trust Gone fishing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
