    No expert here so I'm just putting my 2cents in anyway, but I would say it all depends on Do you have an RSL? if not how quick are you with your EP's? What reserve do you have and what size? How much you weigh and what body position you are in at cutaway time? Why do you want to know ? I think the phrase "Keeping pulling handles until your goggles fill with blood" covers this off. and let the flaming commence....................... topper

    Why not just use some kind of parental filtering. This way you get the best of both worlds, firstly you are not spying on her and loosing her trust but then you are also blocking unwanted websites and emails based on profanity\adult text\images etc etc. If she asks, "it was a freebie recommended by your ISP". topper.

    If this happens and you have to ride the plane down, do you get your ticket refunded, or is it tough you took the ride up? Or is every DZ different ? Chris

    From AA website 0.00 Start out at Lillo,Spain 11.05 Continue forward onto the CM-3000. Entering El Romeral CM-3000 11.05 5.84 Bear right, then merge onto the N-IV (signposted E-5 Madrid) N-IV 16.89 30.62 Bear right, then turn right onto the N-400 (signposted Ocaña) N-400 47.51 0.33 Continue forward onto the N-400. Entering Ocaña N-400 47.84 0.92 Turn right Unclassified 48.76 0.70 Arrive at Ocaña,Spain Unclassified 49.46 - Section time 0:38, Total time 0:38 It's like playschool in here, and this "bitching" from lillo about the current situation is one of the reasons me and my friends chose FFU @ Ocana for AFF training in October. Chris [EDIT to Add] Good Idea, it's doing neither DZ's\Companies any good, and just confsuing potential students.

    Hello, I'm doing my BPA AFF course in spain in october, and just wondered if anyone has had any problems jumping with asthma. I do have Asthma but it doesn't really trouble me, I've checked with my GP and all should be fine (just need to get him to sign BPA finess declaration, which he will do), but just wondered if anyone has had any issues. Thanks Chris

    We've decided to go to Ocana for the AFF course, but will probably go down to lillo for a day to see what it's like and meet some more people.............and hopefully get a couple of consol jumps in. It was a very tricky decision and the main reason we are going to ocana is just that we had already booked with David first, and the DZ does sound much better placed for "non-skydiving" activities. Thanks for all your views\opinions. topper.

    Guys, (& Gals). 3 newbie divers wanting to do an AFF course in Spain in October. We booked with David Cowman @ Freefall Uni, but then found out that they have moved from Lillo to a new DZ nearer Madrid. Freefall Addicts are offering to do the AFF course in Lillo and will honour the deposit paid to David. The new DZ facilities and location for FFU (Ocaña) look really good but lillo has the reputation as a very good DZ to learn at, as is obviously where FFU got it's good reputation from. FFA also seems to have most of the instructors from FFU. I am in a spin as to who to go with, all I want is a good holiday with the best training possible. Has anyone been to FFU Ocaña ? or FFA lillo ? Cheers Chris

    Hi Guys, Does anyone have a phone number for freefall addicts, the number on their site doesn't work, just a dead line. and I'm not sure if my emails are getting through to Lamorna. Cheers topper
