Not arguing with anything but the freefall distances. The numbers quoted should not be added together for a total of 480 over 4 seconds. Falling 256 feet in the 4th second alone would exceed terminal velocity of 120 mph or 176 ft/sec "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

1) The app hasn't been updated since January 2015. 2) The FB page hasn't had anything new since October 2013 My bet is this thing is dead. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

What "makes sense" is subjective and that's where the arguments start ;-) The rules for indoor skydiving already exists. The IPC has done that part https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiBy7qkyv_UAhUJ64MKHdBlBZgQFghAMAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fai.org%2Fdownloads%2Fipc%2FIAE_D2and4_cr_2016edition&usg=AFQjCNFvYPbokFzdE9ij-VTBbvNn16ONmw "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

In my view, this whole issue is driven by the rules of the FAI for competition and the placement of tunnel flying under the IPC. As it stands right now to compete in an FAI sanctioned event a competitor must belong to an organization that is a member of the IPC. Unfortunately, the IPC only allows one organization from each country. So unless a tunnel flyer is a member of CSPA or USPA they can't compete in an FAI sanctioned event. The simple solution is to allow tunnel flyers to join our national organizations. I have no problem with this. The problem for me is when resources of a national skydiving organization are used for non-skydiving activities. If a tunnel flyer pays their dues, gets a CSPA or USPA membership and goes off to compete in an FAI sanctioned tunnel event that's cool by me. I won't raise a stink until tunnel flyers want more than just a membership card. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

Two thoughts: 1) No matter how clean the lines are, they go out of trim and in my experience a line set is 400- 500 jumps. So you need to additionally reduce the price by the cost of the line set and the rigger cost to get it installed. 2) Just the fact that it's not "new" means that you're going to get less than what you paid for it, even if it had zero jumps.

In my opinion that sounds like someone's excuse to hide a bias they have a hard time articulating "MarS AAD's - A brief history of the production of AAD's in the MarS a.s. company: MarS a.s. first produced Automatic Activation Devices in 2003, with the MPAAD (MarS Parachute Automatic Activation Device). This device has already received a number of safe activations with many (Skydivers) lives saved. This unit was the second electronic AAD device on the market in the world at that time, catering predominantly to the Eastern European market. Another earlier MarS a.s. AAD device is the MPAAD-Pilot. This device is intended for use in emergency parachute systems for pilots of aircrafts and helicopters, incorporating dual cutters to cut the closing loops of the rescue parachute. The new generation of the MarS a.s. AAD is the m2 AAD, combining years of experience, research & development, production and use of previous AAD technology. Designed using state-of-the-art technology to exceed today's parachuting demands. The m2 AAD has been on the Skydiving scene since mid-2011."

It would be interesting to know why your PR person removed it. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

You don't like the m2 AAD? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

This will help. It's a glossary of terms. It's in the Safety section under Students http://www.dropzone.com/safety/Students/Skydiving_Glossary_35.html "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

I couldn't find many interior pictures of the planes at one of the local DZ but the one attached will give you a bit of an idea of what they do. There is NO interior in their planes, just white paint. The owner will cut off the nuts of anyone that even thinks about putting a sticker in his planes. There is a mat on the floor and that is all the interior there is. The advantages: light weight, clean professional appearance.

Hi TK, Which goggles do you like best with glasses? I have been jumping without my glasses for years but I'm now getting to the place where I think I might be better with them The old answer I've been using when asked about not wearing my glasses is getting old, just like me. "Blue and white are usually up. Green, brown and yellow are usually down" As you know, lots of canola in Alberta!

That wasn't the reason the contract was not renewed. The insurance required was acquired, albeit via more than one policy. The contract was not renewed because the Brits ran out of money. They (gov't) earn their money via taxes in Pounds but pay for things in Canada in $$$. The drop in the Pound made everything in Canada more expensive and compared to the other adventure activities they offer soldiers, skydiving was the one big ticket item they could lose and easily keep all the others.
