But then again some of us are also skydiving jump pilots and we also know how to spot/look down! ~ Few years back doing a demo out of a DZ's 182 with the DZ pilot... A team member gave several course corrections, demo spots ARE critical into congested cities. The tail wiggle wasn't doin' it so the guy spotting put a hand on the wheel and turned it 15 degrees right like we needed...we exit & land. Hour later back at the DZ... Pilot called a local fed to complain, so he was there waiting for us. The guy spotting is a jump pilot for 35 years, a CFI, has 20,000 hrs in corporate jets as chief pilot...he has to apologize and write up a report, and promise never to do that again. Well..we're professionals and don't want to make waves so we are sincere and go way above and beyond to smooth things over...right up until the tail wiggler asks about a possible corporate seat from the guy he just sicked the feds on! "Wouldn't work out, seen you fly and you suck, not to mention askin' me for a job 10 minutes after ya write me up with the feds over bullshit ...tells me ya ain't real fuckin' smart either!" I've flown demos as well as jumped them, I give them a good lead in, usually make one run just to judge if there is any drift one way or the other, judge ground speed and then jumpers awaaaaaayyyyyy!!!! And on any jump ship that they leave out the front door the pilot must always remember to do his jumpers away check list which consist of fuel selector check! keys, check!

You guys really think we give you course corrections? just bump the rudder in the direction indicated and wiggle the plane and you guys are happy! Experience is a difficult teacher, she gives you the test first and the lesson afterward

You know, I think we have one of those reality shows shaping up here! Experience is a difficult teacher, she gives you the test first and the lesson afterward

Ever plan on going to boogies or getting on bigger way jumps with people who dont know you? Nope, got burned out on bigways long ago, and the people that I jump with are good people. I was just invited to participate on a bigway and a possible record and I really doubt I will attend. Experience is a difficult teacher, she gives you the test first and the lesson afterward

Am just interested.. why do you not bother to log jumps I have met some people who seem to think it is 'cool' not to log jumps .. and to be able to say .. I dont know how many jumps I have It takes a few minutes... what is the attraction of not logging them? I don't log jumps, never had a reason to, not looking to be an instructor or anything just have fun, most of what I did log were jumps with a special meaning to them, mostly personal meanings for some reason. Just never made a habit of logging them mostly out of procrastination. Experience is a difficult teacher, she gives you the test first and the lesson afterward

Maybe you ought to check and see if that aircraft can even fly with the canopy open or not. some can and some can't, or if modifications are required to fly with an open canopy. Experience is a difficult teacher, she gives you the test first and the lesson afterward

I agrre wiyh WRJoe, He had total tunnel vision, I did see other jumpers in the freefall portion of the video. He also was not prepared for the landing, he took no measures to PLF. I was taught to use risers to execute a turn on opening rather than go for toggles and that was to long ago. Everyone should know the dynamics of their canopy, whether they be positive, negative or nuetral, this is part of learning your canopy when you first get it and start jumping it.
