  1. Better? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  2. You're welcome. I think the USPA site is down for maintenance or upgrading as I'm having the same problm. Once you're there, go to the "Publications" tab and navigate to the SIM manual on the left side. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  3. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{VIBES Kel}}}}}}}}}}}} Did she chop it or land it? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  4. The United States Parachute Association www.uspa.org has a Skydiver's Information Manual (SIM) that can be read online and should be purchased. It outlines "recommendations" [not regulations] and is pretty much the "bible" for all those affiliated with the USPA. You'll find a portion of it familiar since we need to follow the "regulations" as outlined in FAR 105. Maybe someone at the dz will let you borrow their SIM for a few days until yours comes in the mail. P.S. Welcome to skydiving... and you may be interested in perusing www.diverdriver.com since you're a pilot. Chris is a well-respected member of these forums.

  5. It truly is, Jim. I can see a large copy hanging in my office. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  6. 1 mile? I'm scratching my head here trying to remember if we did anything less than two miles the whole time I was in? Are they lowering the standards again? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  7. Googlebombing 'failure' 9/16/2005 12:54:00 PM Posted by Marissa Mayer, Director of Consumer Web Products If you do a Google search on the word [failure] or the phrase [miserable failure], the top result is currently the White House’s official biographical page for President Bush. We've received some complaints recently from users who assume that this reflects a political bias on our part. I'd like to explain how these results come up in order to allay these concerns. Google's search results are generated by computer programs that rank web pages in large part by examining the number and relative popularity of the sites that link to them. By using a practice called googlebombing, however, determined pranksters can occasionally produce odd results. In this case, a number of webmasters use the phrases [failure] and [miserable failure] to describe and link to President Bush's website, thus pushing it to the top of searches for those phrases. We don't condone the practice of googlebombing, or any other action that seeks to affect the integrity of our search results, but we're also reluctant to alter our results by hand in order to prevent such items from showing up. Pranks like this may be distracting to some, but they don't affect the overall quality of our search service, whose objectivity, as always, remains the core of our mission. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/09/googlebombing-failure.html Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  9. Had a salvage yard dump a wreck upside down on a friend's front lawn when he was on vacation and spray-painted "Welcome back." Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  12. Congrats Clint... Does she have her SCR? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  13. What a great chart. Folks have been stating ground speed as the predicating factor for a long time, but no one has pressed the issue of the pilot communicating the ground speeds to the back of the aircraft to determine time. This tool should be used as much as Kallend's info. Thank you. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  14. First, these two statements totally contradict each other. According to statement one; one should be able to throw the Lutz's of the world out of a plane with only the training of "listen to the radio ofter your canopy comes open" and their lives would be saved. The second statement demonstrates the lack of having a student who ground trains magnificantly and then gets a total brain lock on the skydive followed by sheer panic on the bottom end when their brain does finally engage. That "wise man" was wrong. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  24. Lisa beat me to pointing to Lisa's article. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  25. Go with Lisa's advice. If you need a more definitive line... If you have a Coach rating and they have been handed off, then be a Coach. If you don't have the Coach rating, tell them you can discuss anything they want after they have their "A" License - until then, it would be irresponsible of me not to direct you to your instructors/coach.
