Hey Ed & Chuck, there is no answer to this discussion, 2 different opinions exist and can co-exist. Lets take this offline. PM or email me: james@phoenix-fly.com Long flights, James BASEstore.it

I did not say that we do not make an air skills evaluation, we do, my point was that this is not the top priority (it is behind communication and interpersonal skills). Please can you clarify this statement. I was talking about the instuctor in freefall being able to affect the students safety. BASEstore.it

Very true, but there are some differences between the programs. Erm, go have a look on the PF website, there are few more than 10 words changed. The PFI program has a major fundamental difference to the BMI system, after successfully completing the briefing the student jumps solo. Why? Because wingsuit is not AFF and the instructor can do little to nothing for the students safety after exit (apart from correct heading and body position). This has the added advantage of reducing the cost of the students first wingsuit flight. Phoenix Fly also requires applicants to have a Coach or Instructor rating. BM does not. Communication and interpersonal skills come before "ace" pilot skills, as these are what count for being able to teach. J BASEstore.it

Ok, I take that as a yes BASEstore.it
-
No, officially no rating is required, as I wrote in my post above. BASEstore.it
-
Yes of course. They are not exclusive. The situation is similar to what happens for tandem ratings. Yes the PFI course has a fee, contact your PFI/E for details. The PFI conversion also carries a small admin fee. No, if you are an experienced wingsuit pilot with approval from your dropzone (DZO, S&TA) there is nothing to stop you from training people to fly wingsuit. BUT you will be better able to do this task after manufacturer training and your students will appreciate this. (there are other obvious benefits to being a wingsuit instructor also) The governing bodies do not recognise these ratings but generally do follow the manufacturers recommendations. BASEstore.it

Hmmm, interesting.. .why such weird effects used on that photo? looks like its been photoshopped?? BASEstore.it
-
there will not be demo program for the PFI's by the manufacturer, /reply] For the moment that is correct Ed. In the future this is likely to change though. First we have to get the ball rolling BASEstore.it
-
Man you were fast It should be interpreted as: when a PFI wishes to buy demo suits there is a minimum order volume of 2 suits. I'll ask for a re-wording BASEstore.it

was there one you could fit into Ed? BASEstore.it -
You managed to get what I meant Prof so perhaps is wasn't such a worthless post Robi is working on the forth member of the Phoenix Fly product line as we speak. If it is a presentable form by Skyfest it may just put in an appearance

I would have gone with the DeLorean retro "Back to the Future" cool points myself... Ferrari are having a terrible season, Schumy didn't finish 3 out of 5 races and the company that owns Ferrari (Fiat) is 26billion Euro in debt. BASEstore.it

Eh, I want to know, Eh, the angle of the talus Eh?? (Did I sound like a genuine Canadian? Eh?) BASEstore.it

I also love wingsuit hop n' pops I use them for performance training, you get a much stronger feedback from the ground flying between 6000' - 3000' (+ or - ). By exiting over the same reference point for numerous flights you can see your progress by the distance you cover before deployment (and time if you so wish). BASEstore.it

I took some measurements last year, will dig ot my GPS and see if I still have the waypoints saved. BASEstore.it
