You know, it doesn't take much to prove negligence in aviation. I've seen plenty of case law. Cessna designs a pilot seat that works just fine. But because some joker doesn't check to make sure it's secure before takeoff he rolls all the way back on the tracks and doesn't release pressure on the yoke and keep flying the plane. He just pitches up, stalls, and crashes killing himself. Cessna is sued and pays millions. They then have to retrofit an extra latch so the seat can only slide so far back if you're an idiot and don't check it's secure before takeoff. Great personal responsibility! I fear that the way this law is written they have opened themselves up to MORE lawsuits not protected themselves from one. Again, only time will tell and I hope the courts uphold the SPIRIT of the law. I really do. Chris Schindler www.diverdriver.com ATP/D-19012 FB #4125

Great idea. I do have one of those heavy duty orange cords. That's what it's going to take to handle BOB Why don't you just upgrade to the gas driven version? LOL. Sounds like you're ready for the next level.

Ohhhh...riiiiiight. Ssssssssssssssss....

Well Renee, you saw how my bedroom is set up. You do know that the bed isn't at an angle for no reason at all. How the hell do you think I get my friend plugged in. God, I sure wish they made longer cords on those babies. Just once, I'd like to have my bed at a straight angle. Ummm...I know you're a woman and all...but ever hear of an extension cord?

Oh yah? Why do I need to adjust them? You can't handle the wah wah wah wah wah wah? Best not touch that trim wheel then.
-
Can't do that to me. I keep my hand on the trim the whole flight. You'd be grabbing my hand if you tried that. Unless, you're just that way.

You know I would never intentionally put you on the other side of the river (unless the winds were from the east). I have a rep to uphold. Putting someone off intentionally...well, Bo pointed out that I just couldn't bring myself to do that.

Can we get a Greenie to move this to General Skydiving Discussion so it isn't lost in TB?

Hey! Don't you have some work to be doing?

Houston, we have a problem. I'm no lawyer. But I sure do see the loophole they will go for now. Sheeesh. Wasn't it just easier to defend the waiver in court rather than write this? There was presedence already in other courts. So I take off and the cheap DZO doesn't have a wind guage and the winds pick up while climbing to altitude. No one calls me to tell me the winds have picked up since takeoff. Jumper jumps and lands behind obstacle which causes rotor and collapses the canopy. I'm sued because I OMITTED telling the jumper the winds kicked up. That's great. I guess only time will tell if this was "good law or bad law" (my old Aviation Law professor/ suthin drawl).

Sure. I'll take your word for it.

Psssst....Paige. Pete IS a commercial pilot. He's studying to be an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP). He's already got the commercial. Yes, it's a pet peeve of mine when people say "When are you going to be a Commercial Pilot" while they ride right seat with me in the Otter. Well, we already get paid for flying so that makes it Commercial. I got the book with all the questions and answers. Studied for about a week and a half. Passed. If I can do it anybody can do it.

Dude, I actually have someone who does this.

OMG THAT'S what she sounds like?
