  4. I have never accidently got out of the plane when it was dark. Woops... I accidentelly left the aircraft ! I've certainly been on loads that ended up in darkness. I was certain that was going to happen as well. I also intentionally left the air craft even though it wasn't planned as a dark dive. When the sun goes down and you get on the plane, you know then and there it will get dark. It's never an accident to jump at night ---- My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  5. Hello Mr Crutch. Too bad we're not near each other to discuss this over a beer. It's more fun that way. You didn't answer my post in any way. You blew it off completely to once again call people names. I find that an impressive Instructional tool. Good on you! You're my new role model. (( If we were having that beer... you'd laugh at me and the conversation would continue) My first after sunset jump was Long before my official first night jump... Way later and darker than it should have been with out Night Preperation. Lets just say it was night cuz it was. Does this have any thing to do with a d-license? No, I wasn't trained for it. Loosen your skull cap man. I'll tell you this... I buy many analogies.. but this ==> When you learn to drive a car, you need to learn to parallel park isn't one of them. Do you let just any d-license holder jump on the beach?? You know quite well that just because a d license is in possesion, it does not necessarilly constitute a high level of skill. What purpose does performing a night jump have to do with jumping on the beach? ...during the day....when the jumps occur any ways. I did not mince any words.. You chose to do that. I have not said to dilute the program, you are putting words in my mouth. Re read my comments. The program (which is changing), is too easy. A d License holder will need 500 jumps (and what ever else.... I"ll look it up later) I still feel that night jumps should not be mandatory to obtain a d- lisense but my opinion has no bearing on the issue.Since Night jumps are Mandatory to receive a d-license, many people who will never ever do them again, will go do one. Soon there after they will forget every thing about it. (hence, this has nothing to do with parallel parking) There is that chance they think it's so cool they'll sign up for another. Those of you who never do another one are a bunch of whiners * hookitt dresses in his flame retardent jammies and kicks back* Cheers yo! ---------- To re-answer the original question. I prefer but do not require a well lit landing area. Either way is fine with me. However I'd recommend a lit landing area if possibe. - - My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

  9. That's why I was asking about the Harness
  10. What is the cutaway requirement for a strong rating? Is that you must have had one previously? If you have not had a previous cutaway, do you then you get to jump Strongs 3 Parachute system to satisfy that requirement? - - My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

  21. I see what you mean. I always tie em together like that with my *smaller students* (and other instructors *smaller* students. The rigs are much different than that since the leg straps can be tightened up much more even though the lift web is long and sits horizontal like in your picture. - - My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...
