no your life's work hasn't been for nothing. just saying that with every new development theres a new problem to deal with, constantly pushing the envelope of what can be done and what one wants to be possible. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

No...it wakes you up when you are NOT altitude aware.(i think that is what they were invented to do) Because you were unaware of your altitude and it had to slap the shit out of you to wake you up.( this one time was because a hand was over my alti and i was relying on the rest of the team to be aware as well) Leave the "ditter" on the ground. Put an altimeter on your wrist.(always wearing one on my wrist, and its nice and big so i can see it at an angle) Make a series of solo jumps doing nothing but checking your altitude and looking at the ground.(i do that every time i have a extended break of 2 weeks or more) I'm at 8K...here's what it looks like. I'm at 7K...here's what it looks like. I'm at 6K...here's what it looks like. I'm at 5K...here's what it looks like. I'm at 4K...here's what it looks like. Then do a series looking at the ground first and comparing it to your altimeter. This looks like 8K...my altimeter says 7. Oooops This looks like 7K...my altimeter says 6. Oooops This looks like 6K...my altimeter says 5. Oooops .... Repeat the series until you can get it right within a couple of hundred feet or so. Of course none of this will do you any good if you have to have the "ditter" to remind you to check altitude. i dont rely on it to remind me, i have to make sure as a back up to my wrist mount, in case it breaks, or i cant read it light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

Twin Otter production restarted!
azdiver replied to sundevil777's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
does the otter have a life cycle like the skyvans or is it different, i was told a sky van is grounded after 50,000 take offs and landings. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak -

not saying to only use a ditter its a 3rd back up to keep you aware, i now where im at most of the time and 1 time so far the ditter has kept me from pulling low, when you have lots of jumps and are able to stay really current your eyes can judge the alti, but take some time off , or low jump numbers and you lose that callibration. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

ive been jumping when they have had all 6 going, dont forget they also have several other planes as well. im not sure if the boogie jumps are counted into that as most of the planes go to alot of the boogies as well. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

azdiver replied to sundevil777's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
what is the cycle life of a otter, and how many were built. the article says they are becoming rare but only a confirmed order of such a small amount doesnt seem to me that it will make that much of a difference. i was told a used otter without engines will sell for 1mill, whats the cost of a new engine -35? 200k or more light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak -

Seen Studies On Conservatives? How About One On Liberals?

libs whine whine whine cry cry cry and start calling names. only thing they know how to do, actually debating a subject with some common sense and reasoning is so beyond their train of thought. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak -
when its busy they do have school loads that only tandems and aff students are on, to me the two landing zones are seperated a good distance from each other, there is no problem with cross traffic of people trying to get to both lz's First, keep swoopers and students way the hell away from everyone else. These are the two highest risk groups out there. There are two ways of doing this: physically seperating them with widely spaced landing areas, and seperating them with time...even to the point of putting them on different loads or doing completely seperate jump runs for these groups. Maybe the students should have their own landing area far away from where everyone else lands. Yes, they would have to be driven back to the dropzone, yes it would cost a little, but I think it is a reasonable thing to do. Such a thing is already done at Davis. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak
