Wow! Brilliant rules! Are they swooping specific? Can they be used some other fields than swooping?

Definition of "dropzone" in USA and Canada vs. elsewhere
phoenixlpr replied to Eule's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I know several clubs operating several airports in Finland. -
I had no modification at all. I jump WS with Pilot150, short bridle and a 32" F111 kill-line PC. I had one jump with Cobalt, long bridle, 24" ZP kill-line PC. There weren't any problems.

I got 216 so far. It is not so bad from a country where you may find snow in 4-5 months a year.

There should be a reason why top suits are not recommended for the first suit. I really don't know why .

At least her numers are public..... You might judge her by numbers and we can by your statement.

Get a Phantom, Firebird, Gti, Acro, Phi. Learn how to fly! You may keep on dream on . Wing area is not the most important thing. I'd rather enjoy flying a small, than fighting with a bigger. I had about 40 flights on a Phantom, but I'm still not satisfied and still _not_ planning to change anything else or bigger.

I have seen only 3000m or 4000m tandems. It was depending on the TM and plane, but price was the same.

From English Cypres manual, page 10.

Inverting? I'd say mirroring.
-
Yeah. This is the root of the cypres fires. Its not so wise to play around the Cypres activation altitude. I have seen a 3way speed start from 1000m. One of them ended up with a 2 out/side bye side due to a his Cypres fired.

I'd rather have a discussion with the S&TA about those issues. He/she should be able to handle those. Its a real problem if you are not able to discuss problems face to face. I have seen this before: one man just skipped jumping because another was on the load who is considered dangerous by that jumper. It is just plain stupid.
-
You should be that type talking to the S&TA. If you have a local problem you should solve locally. He should be receive some education if he is really lack of.

I see, whining here solves everything.

strange/different jump aircraft?
phoenixlpr replied to yarpos's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
The ceiling for An-2 is about 2500, max3000m for economical use. -
So? Is setup and landing accuracy the base of swoop? By what jump numbers do you recommend to practice setup and landing accuracy?
-
Geko301 does not have map either.
-
Check reserve pilot chutes! Some of them coming withont mesh, but a big intake.

Oh, wind of change? . One thing if a TM has bad feelings. Image when an ex-bird request WS flyer/flyers to have other pattern, because they want to have atmonauti dive! -

Sudden turn? I can fly 30-40m/s with my wing suite. What is the forward speed of a tandem? 4-10 m/s? Tandem should be just a balloon from the view of the wing suit flier. -

Negative. I don't give a fly by to anyone without a prior agreement. I was jumping after tandems. I was maintaining visual contact and gave the enough separation. I deploy about 1200m with wing suite. The picture in question should be the result of hard work. -

??? If the wing suit flyer is not practiced enough it is just not going to happen. If he/she is, he/she can be in safe distance. It is not so easy to give a fly by. I think the risk is minor. -

Are you a wingsuit flyer? Picture does not tell if they have agreed before. -
