    It was some thread about this too. If you have to leave the plane for this reason you have to leave it as soon as you can and open about 2 sec delay, so the vertical speed of the plane is going to make the separation.

    It depends. You may read a lot about the technical side. Search the forums! Financial side: both costs about the same, but AFF is more intensive, so you should have the money together... It depends on the weather too. If the clouds are closing by 1500m ... you have no chance for AFF. So if you have the money, possible good weather, free time AFF can be a better choice.

    GPS and so? If you have ground vision you should be able to check is that the right spot or not.

    Heh? Do you have a Cypress card? Its for that reason that you can show what they suppose to find inside. So it was check for that by Airtech. Anyway Cypress has lot common with a bomb, at least under X-ray.

    Why me? I have the same concerns like you too.
  6. phoenixlpr
    I`m not sure if its safe or/and even legal.

    OK. I`m jumping in Finland. Under jump nr 250: WL shoud be less than 1.35 and no elliptical is allowed. Student can not use own gear. I have a mentors, so I can not do anything I like, just because I`m licensed skydiver... That`s the culture difference I`ve talking about.

    You must have missed something. I`m not jumping in US. I`m not an USPA member..... There are a bit different habits and regulations here.
  11. phoenixlpr
    Don`t worry. I have my mentors. WNE is a nice idea, but its not for my jumping culture.
  12. phoenixlpr
    I do agree. I`ve broken my ankle with a PD Nav220 WL
  13. phoenixlpr
    I don`t feel so safe yet. I have a lot to learn with that. I had only 9 jumps with it. My mentors think that I can handle it. WNE is not enforced here, we have different limits.
  14. phoenixlpr
    Yes, I know. Tell me something new too. None has ever survived this life....

    Ok. Check my profile. I fly a Pilot150 @WL~1.3
  16. phoenixlpr
    I think I`ve found some thing for you. 120 vs 230. What is the drag caused by the jumper, lineset, canopy? The lines of the 120 are shorter than the lines of the 230, arm of the jumper is about the same length. Same amount in brake input on shorter brake lines? As you see the jumper does not scale, so any more question?

    I`m not in a hurry. I`ve just bought my Pilot :). I think I need some jump before starting with A-Max
  18. phoenixlpr
    What has happened with A-MAX ??? I can`t find it on Aerodyn Research website anymore. Has it been pulled out?
  19. phoenixlpr
    I would not call myself conservative if I would load my main over the recommended max. weight. Like 210 lbs with a PD210(PD9cell)...................
  20. phoenixlpr
    I`m not sure if its about the size of the place. I was told what patter to fly and what are my turning points. Ask your instructor about those points. don`t worry so much. I`ve f***ed up my landing pattern and I`ve almost landed on trees on jump nr 50+. Get or make a good plan(about your landing) and stick to it. Edit: spelling
  21. phoenixlpr
    Based on what?
  22. phoenixlpr
    I think you are going offtopic.
  23. phoenixlpr
    Having an AAD might save your life. Having skydiving as a hobby or as a sport does not mean that you can`t die in other way....... Take it easy. Don`t think too much.
  24. phoenixlpr
    ??? And so what I have 5 too. 2 of them was my own stupid fault. IMHO this pool is completly useless......they are not coming regular basis...
  25. phoenixlpr
    I have a Pilot 150. Trust him, thats to way to do. I`ve got 9 jumps on it. It`s a little bit easier than before :).
