    Again!!

    phoenixlpr replied to DZSLK's topic in Wing Suit Flying

    How? Mr Jet-Visa told that he had some minutes of horizontal flight. So he has lost/used some altitude to build his speed. You could read out from his post, that this system was designed to have horizontal flight and not for gaining altitude. I dont think that you can jump from some cliff gain speed and fly back over....

    I have read BASE fatality list. There are plenty of suicide there :(
  3. phoenixlpr
    I don't know/Ican't remember.
  4. phoenixlpr
    I don't think so. Most of the students are giving up early anyway

    From her profile: Sabre2 150 ft² (0.83 lbs/ft²) 0.73 with a 170 sqft canopy. I dont think that so extremly small :).

    What instructor? Over 100 jumps I don't think she is/was a student anymore. She has made a mistake, a near fatal one. That's her responsibility. I think she only needs to have a serious talk with the STA.

    That is just a theory as long you have not used in real EP, but keep on practicing.
  8. phoenixlpr
    It so nice to see you so agreed on that.

    I was thinking about the same thing :). or sell it to France. I was told they are having a mandatory AAD rule. So an expired AAD is better than a fake or wooden one.

    AYE, Sir!

    Because they didn't know the lifespan when they produced those units.
  12. phoenixlpr
    No. I'm too young for that ;).

    Heh? I was told to have bad carma. But that #122 was the 3rd jump on that gear. :)
  14. phoenixlpr
    ??? If you open from terminal, your canopy opens vertically. Have you seen a high speed static line? Canopy opens almost horizontally.

    It was a TCO comparison between Vigil, Astra, Argus and Cypres2.

    If I had a not so stable position and a bad throw and getting the bridle on my sholder....... Yes, I did. It was a 1000m jump. It was a FXC on that gear. I was not briefed properly, I was told to open over 1000m, I had a fear of having a 2 out, because I didn't know the operational envelope of FXC that time. Nice chain of causes, isn't it?

    If it has reception yes, but it would record ground speed.

    I've seen some example where the pilot had some problem is climbing to altitude, because some guys were laying in the tail section of a turbine 207 and it was back to normal when they did move their ass as front they could.

    Twice: 1st: Jump #32:having 2x just 2 hours of sleep. It was my 1st jump from a C206 anyway. I have failed to recognize a nicely flying canopy over my head. It was something minor around the breaks. I've chopped it. My instructor asked what was the reason to chop a good canopy after about 1 min of flight after opening.... 2nd: I got a PC in the tow(on me) @ #112. Cut away - reserve ride. It was my own stupid fault. 2 weeks later #122 I chopped a canopy I was test-jumping after a hard opening and having 4 broken lines on the left rear group and started to dive. I got grounded after this. For #112 I would've deserved some time to think, but after cuting #122 away? I got a speech from my mentor/formal instructor about safety yada-yada... I was jumping on the next weekend. I think I have learnt my lesson from #32 and #112 for good.

    Have you ever been grounded? Do you think that grounding serve its purpose?
  21. phoenixlpr
    How come? IMO the canopy is always infalting against the (relative) wind.

    There was a nice article in the Skydivers magazine , this year, September or Augustus issue about AADs and a detailed price/TCO comparism too.

    distance over fallrate?
  25. phoenixlpr
    He is just stated that it depends what do you consider good. Slowest fallrate or maximum distance covered are not going together.
