I can think of several that do... Pitts Special for one. A Pitts is a typical aircraft. Wings engine, the whole bit. But if you want to play stupid games, do you consider a Bonanza something atypical? Not getting into another definition pissing match. You win. A Pitts is just like every other airplane, as typical as it could be.

Cyndi Next? Geeze...you could have at least pretended like you enjoyed the "glistening". Set those girls free. PMs are fine.

You have 70 jumps and have been in the sport 3 yrs. Try using your thought process. What is different about your canopy when the brakes are set. Sorry, you don't deserve spoon feeding.

The problem is, Trying to get back from a long spot and running out of altitude is not an emergency. And lets be honest, if this is happening on even a semi regular basis, that is whats happening. Someone else has the answer. Put up an overhead pic that is marked with land here as a last resort and be done with it. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to go talk to the guy and tell him that is what you are telling everyone and if it happens it is an emergency. I'm betting he has had his fill of lip from jumpers. Like someone else said, If it were a prison how often would you land there? How about a prison with those high voltage fences? Nothing in that defense requires an emergency, only a necessity. That's subjective, of course, which is why we have courts. Better for the sport and DZ to avoid the courts.

Look up some info aerodynamics in relation to a private pilot rating. You can probably find some good diagrams. Not directed at DB. I've said for a long time that many canopy related injuries result from no basic understanding of aerodynamics when related to the canopy. Most peoples understanding of canopy flight is I pull this to go left, I pull this to go right and I pull both when I get close to the ground.

How is the emergency landing argument not valid? The OP already said landings on McNasty's property are rare, so by definition it isn't happening "that often". However, even it did happen fairly regularly "in the eyes of non-skydivers", McNasty's perception isn't the one that the law has to evaluate. If the skydivers take reasonable steps to avoid landing on McNasty's property - like adjusting the exit point and flying patterns to minimize the chance of a forced landing there - they do have a valid argument when it occurs. In tort law there is a defense called "private necessity" that allows trespassing on private property if it is necessary to protect the accused or other people or property. Under the private necessity defense the accused is still liable for damages caused during the trespass. If the jumper lands on McNasty's property because it was the best option or only choice to stay safe and/or avoid property damage, a private necessity defense would be a valid argument. However, if the jumper causes any damage to any of the owner's property, he/she would be liable for it.

Sounds like you have the pipe unhooked. Put the air to it. Find someone you don't like and tell them to look in the end to see if they can see the clog.

If I did it again I'd hook it, plain out and then slide as it slowed down. I did a straight in on a 145 Alpha (Cobalt before they screwed them up) stalled it and busted my ass.

Pms will be fine.

I was thinking I might have to spot out there that last week of October. Or you could make plans for the 10th Annual St.Patricks Day Celebration Boogie, aka Fitzgerald 2013.

Hmm...I haven't been to Palatka in a while.

There is no reason to practice or perform rear riser landings. Broke a steering line on opening, landed on rears rather than cut away. Chris, someone up thread mentioned an undercurrent jumper with low jump numbers may be better off cutting away. Obviously gear maintenance counts, because you don't want the toggle to fall off at 300 foot. I am curious about it, as I'd rather not land on rears. Hopefully I'll get some good education in 2 weeks time when I get crw coaching

Someone can cry foul all the way to their driveway. If I'm running a full blown,full service DZ and I wake up one morning and decide I've had enough of the skydivers BS ,sell all but the Cessna and only do tandems from now on. Everyone who doesn't like it could pretty much kiss my ass.

The future of skydiving in this country is private property.

150 meters is about 450ft.

I've been surprised that a few returned from a skydive.

Did you learn anything?

A Red Dot brand cue ball falls at average belly speed. I don't remember the exact weight or speed. Please have someone very experienced with you if you do this. You could kill someone. When you get more experience playing catch in freefall is alot of fun. Either have someone who has done it with you or have a very experienced person talk to someone who has. You could kill someone.
