Opie 0 #1 February 19, 2002 Does the FAA require that every jumper have a seatbelt or that all jumpers are belted in (as in two sharing a belt)?? This is assuming that you are within weight/balance, CG limitations. Chris you here???OpieIf your not on the edge, you can't enjoy the view! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lazerq3 0 #2 February 19, 2002 Every jumper MUST have his/her own seat belt!!!! There is no sharing!!!jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #3 February 19, 2002 Seat Belt per passanger. Its in the SIM and the FAA requires it."I said don't look Ethel, It was too late, she'd already been incensed... " Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diverdriver 7 #4 February 19, 2002 Exactly. No sharing. Chris SchindlerD-19012ATP/CFIIwww.DiverDriver.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opie 0 #5 February 19, 2002 Is this covered only in 91.107 or in another FAR?OpieIf your not on the edge, you can't enjoy the view! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #6 February 19, 2002 91.107 covers it all.91.107 applies to -all- aircraft operations (private, commercial, air taxi, air carrier and yes, even skydiving).quadehttp://futurecam.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opie 0 #7 February 19, 2002 It says that each person must occupy an approved seat or berth(floor for skydivers) with a safety belt proper secured about him/her. I didn't see where the belt could not secure more than one person. Now I know you would never win an arguement with the FAA just thought it was a little unclear, and figured someone had first hand experience with them-faa that is. Thanks guys.OpieIf your not on the edge, you can't enjoy the view! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lazerq3 0 #8 February 19, 2002 However on a commercial airliner you can have a baby sit on your lap and share a seat belt. Someone correct me but I believe its up to 2yrs of age, then they require there own seat!!jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opie 0 #9 February 19, 2002 Yes covered in the same section, actually right above the paragraph that says we (sport parachutists) get to sit on the floor. The child is not to share the restraint, only be held by the adult.OpieIf your not on the edge, you can't enjoy the view! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diverdriver 7 #10 February 19, 2002 No sharing of seatbelts. The child can be held on your lap up to 2 years of age. During preperation for a forced landing that might turn into a hard landing you are to place the child under the seat in front of you like carry on luggage. Love your child? BUY THEM A TICKET AND FLIGHT APPROVED BABY SEAT!!! You don't think accidents can happen to you? Just look at NTSB.gov and you'll be able to see each accident on file per month. Look on the right side of the screen and you'll see "Part 121". That's airline stuff. Happens all the time. Plane runs into something. Has to evacuate. Hits turbulence. You want your 20-30 pound child out loose? You think you're strong enough to hold on to them? Please get a Flight approved seat and use it.Chris SchindlerATP (Airline Transport Pilot) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrumpySmurf 0 #11 February 20, 2002 And please, PLEASE - sedate them - benadryl, a bit of vodka in the O.J., heroin, whatever it takes.The best child seat in the world ain't gonna save 'em if an angry mob decides that stuffing the kid down the toilet in the back is the best way to stop the screaming.Then again, fighting with the seat would wear 'em out faster...but when in doubt - cough medicine with alchohol.

NtheSeaOrSky 0 #12 February 20, 2002 I want to be on a flight with Grumpy!!!!And, while we are on the subject, why do we not get a chioce of smoking, non smoking, screaming, or non-screaming in restaurants???????????????????? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lazerq3 0 #13 February 20, 2002 QuoteAnd please, PLEASE - sedate them - benadryl, a bit of vodka in the O.J., heroin, whatever it takes.Oh YEAH!!!!! We flew our girl back to mich (4hr flight) when she was ten months old. Our Doc said give baby tylenol before every flight and sure enough she slept most the way there and back, and when she was up it was just cause she was hungury so we fed her, she palyed for a maybe 1/2 hr and then back to sleep. We got sooo many compliments on how good she was and she even got her pi taken with the captain and got to push some buttons in the cock pit!!!jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GrumpySmurf 0 #18 February 22, 2002 With some of those planes in the Latin American airlines, like Lacsa and Iberia, or AeroFlop in Russia, it wouldn't suprise me at all if it said Fisher Price on the controls And this was post September??? I figured after that, you had to know the secret knock, upon doing which, a panel on the door would open with 2 eyes peering out and a voice would saying, "Password please.".I feel safer everyday *hrm* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,118 #20 February 23, 2002 >>"got to push some buttons in the cock pit!!!">Was that while the aircraft was in the air??I'm picking up bad habits during our testing now . . . I don't think anything of walking up to the cockpit while we're flying and punching a few buttons on the pedestal to cycle power or turn on/off antennas and inverters. It would probably annoy your typical United Arlines pilot though.-bill von Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
