phoenixlpr 0 #1 June 30, 2008 Sharing flight plan with the jump pilot? Do you have some ready draft for that? I got weird looks and faces from pilots and non-WS jumpers yesterday. I made a draft that I can fill up according the place I jump with magnetic north, run-way numbers and flight sector. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #2 June 30, 2008 nothing quite so dramatic as a vector file (I assume that's what this is, with the svg extension) It wouldn't open in my browser or graphics app. If time permits, I show the pilot a plot on Google Earth, as I store my flights there if they're anything but the normal 'exit west, turn south' flights. I always share flight plan with DZM so he knows where to look for me. Pilot likes to know. Our pilot is so cool to work with, I can give him GPS info and he'll put me/us out on that coordinate after dumping the tandems and fun jumpers. He gets a bang out of what we do anyway.

I'm going to print in a small card format, so I can give to the pilot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bodypilot1 0 #4 June 30, 2008 Most pilots have a typical way that they desend after dropping a load of jumpers. Telling him the way YOU are THINKING about flying, is a good idea before you exit, but dont expect him to alter his typical desent. Adjust your pattern to the pilots desent and you'll find them easier to get along with.....sometimes. www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dploi 0 #5 June 30, 2008 I ask which way s/he is descending, then go the other way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
