Thanks for explaining the flight level thing. I am curious about your fat and puffy clouds though. The winds I quoted above were the actual winds that day as reported from the Dutch Met service. They checked out on the 1st load of the day. There were also fat puffy clouds in the sky that were not being torn apart by the 30 knot winds at 5000 ft. Maybe the clouds did not realize how much wind there really was? Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

The pilots I work with prefer the heading given in degree's. Once I asked a pilot to fly west and he asked which way west was. 270° worked better. I don't usally ask the pilot to give green to nearest 100th of a mile The nearest 10th will do. Only one answer, hmmm, is it really that difficult. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Wow, even I did not think there are test tube terrorist's. Of course they have parents. The parents are the ones training them as four year olds on how to become a suicide bomber. edit for spilling. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Again I had the problem of deciding the spot when we had FL 140 210/20 kts FL 100 210/20 kts FL 50 200/30 kts 3000 190/30 kts 1000 190/25 kts 500 180/20 kts So where do you start dropping with a 4-way as the first group and how much seperation by exit until the next 3 way goes. Aircarft is a Cessna 208b with a IAS 80 kts during droping. Oh boy I bet most people think the pilot sorts it all out Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Sorry, but it's experience. I also do video on such windy tandem loads. I would not complain if I had to jump a big student canopy. A bit boring but I would land it. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

I just today demonstrated how a pax can slip out of a next/pdf harness. I was strapped into the harness from a TI that was aware of the problem. I just fell out with little effort. This is not to say any able bodied person would. But they can! Tandem instructors must be aware of this problem when taking pax's that have little or no control of their legs. Let's not forget this problem again. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

A sortie is a bit like a mixie, only it is sorted. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

That is really fast, and I know I can get a fair bit slower while tracking. Huh? are you going to track into the ground? Cypres is there to save me from a nothing out situation where I am not flying. I won't upgrade to Speed cypres 2 because at the moment I am not close to activation speeds with even a 360 swoop with WL 2.4 For the hard core its an option, with all that weight they are going to break the 43m/s rate in freefall anyway. btw. I can also fly my wing suit into the ground with cypres activated, Cool is flying a student cypres into the ground with a wing suit. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Or this may happen to you Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Would not one question mark have been sufficient? Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

This has happened many times before, especially in the days before they gave the things names. In 1265 they had 45 tropical storms and 20 hurricanes, but no one was around to name them. source : Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

I have heard that it can get very windy in Florida Let's hope they have not all been blown away If there is one thing I really want to do before I can't, it's jump at Z-Hills

What did you find then? I have found a rattle in the 300D from a freind, but that was definately the flash. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Where is the light bulb icon when you need it I am wondering whether to start a poll, should a 350D rattle, yes / no / a little bit. Suppose if it takes pictures alright I shouldn't complain. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

[replyand orientation sensor (sensor that tells camera whether you shoot vertical or horizontal frame). Generally, first source is a louder one. Why does the camera need to know whether I am shooting a vertical or horizontal frame? And, you say it should rattle, but freeflydrew says his doesn't. Does that mean freeflydrew camera is faulty?

Two old friends were just about to tee off at the first hole of their local golf course when a guy carrying a golf bag called out to them, "Do you mind if I join you? My partner didn't turn up." "Sure," they said, "You're welcome to play with us." So they started playing and enjoyed the game and the company of the newcomer. Part way around the course, one of the friends asked the newcomer, "What do you do for a living?" "I'm a hit man," was the reply. "You're joking!" was the response. "No, I'm not," he said, reaching into his golf bag, and pulling out a beautiful Martini sniper's rifle with a large telescopic sight. "Here are my tools." "That's a beautiful telescopic sight," said the other friend. Can I take a look? I think I might be able to see my house from here. So he picked up the rifle and looked through the sight in the direction of his house. "Yeah, I can see my house all right. This sight is fantastic. I can see right in the window." "Wow, I can see my wife in the bedroom. Ha Ha, I can see she's naked! Wait a minute, that's my neighbor in there with her. He's naked, too! The bitch!" He turned to the hit man, "How much do you charge for a hit?" "I'll do a flat rate, for you, one thousand dollars every time I pull the trigger." "Can you do two for me now?" "Sure, what do you want?" "First, shoot my wife, she's always been mouthy, so shoot her in the mouth." "Then the neighbor. He's a friend of mine, so just shoot his dick off to teach him a lesson." The hitman took the rifle and took aim, standing perfectly still for a few minutes. "Are you going to do it or not?" said the friend impatiently. "Just be patient," said the hitman calmly, "I think I can save you a grand here." Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Well there was this video I saw where the TI forgot to hook up the top hooks. The student was only attached at the bottom Come to think of it, I've seen 2 of those. So I'll vote Yep Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

There, I've added a few commas so you can pause for breath between the stops. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

That should put a stop (pun intended) to the ridiculously short thread titles. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

I just received a brand Canon 350D and when I tilt it backwards and forwards, I can hear something rattling/moving around. An internet search shows that some people have noticed this and think it's OK, while others think it's a fault. The noise does not come from the flash unit. It sounds more like a screw is loose inside the body. Anyone else notice this? Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

>I use 1000 feet as my minimum separation. On the freefall sim in this situation I am getting over 900ft so I guess it wasn't far off meeting your criteria. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl
