That is only if they are paying(mileage limit).If they "share expenses" and plan to jump in, that does not apply. Then there is the drop zone waiver issue when they get there.

Sec. 91.107 (ii) Use the floor of the aircraft as a seat, provided that the person is on board for the purpose of engaging in sport parachuting; I don't see where that says you can't land a plane full of skydivers. If a student balks, do you have to throw them out? If you do not trust your pilot enough to land with him, you have no business getting in the aircraft.Helping them maintain proficiency should be something you would want to do.

In my 182 I covered most of it up with Kydex,an approved plastic sheet that is used in the mfg of molded aircraft plastic parts,like the stuff around the windows in airliners.Pretty lightweight and about $80 a sheet.

I would be interested to hear what pilots think about climbing passes for low exits. Edited to add, maybe it depends on the type of aircraft. I think that the only safe climbing exit would be out of a tailgate.

I would suggest watching the packers, find one you feel comfortable with from a packing style, neatness, care taken stance. Ask the DZ riggers who they recommend. Ask local jumpers who they recommend. Then walk over to the packer(s) and introduce yourself. Ask what the packing system is at that DZ. Let them know if you have any special needs for your rig. Watch them the first time or two they pack for you to make sure you still feel comfortable with them to pack for you. Then tip in advance or tip well at the end of the first day.Works wonders.

This is from 2002,from a thread I started about a friend of mine buying it at Lake Wales.Note the quote about " I do think there are some lessons that can be learned from this tragedy" I don't think the lesson has been learned Re: [AndyMan] Fatal at Lake Wales today? [In reply to] Quote | Reply -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I do think there are some lessons that can be learned from this tragedy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aparently there are only two witnesses with firsthand knowledge. Neither has any idea who colided with whom. The FAA did conduct an investigation which concluded without laying of fault. The landing area at lake wales is absolutely humumgous, and there were aparently only 4 canopies in the vacinity at the time. Paul, the Australian was jumping a 105 jedi. He reported having 800 jumps, but this seems to be low by my estimation. He weighed in about 75 KG, or 160 pounds, giving him a wingloading of about 1.6 I understand Mike jumped an equally well loaded Stiletto. The colision took place after Paul executed a "hook turn". It is unknown if Mike was also in a high speed approach. Paul was not known for being careless, nor reckless. To me, this serves as a sober reminder that it can happen to anyone.

Yea the documentation does exist , I found out in a pm from Hooknswoop.I just recently acquired a 182 and plan on using it for demos and some non dz jumps and it looks like it could be a good tool.
