Coach is a non method specific rating - there is no such thing as a S/L coach. You would need to be a S/L I to teach anything pertaining specifically to static line. Go to the USPA website and download the portion of the IRM that is in pdf format. It explains it all. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com

>>Right wingers: A lot more people voted for Gore than Bush; he won the popular vote. Deal with it.

A flat turn is a turn that involves minimal bank angle and loss of altitude. The exact technique will vary somewhat by canopy, but a good starting point is to go to half brakes or a little more and let up a little on one toggle to turn the other way. A search for the term in the forums will yield an excellent discussion of flat turn technique by billvon. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com

While it is not their purpose, the political threads do allow us to see a different side of the other people in this community, and I think that is a benefit. I am constantly amazed by the diversity of views held by skydivers. Because we have skydiving in common, I have a tendency to believe that everyone here will have similar views to mine. Sometimes I am a little surprised by the views people have, and it gives me additional insight into the people with whom I interact here. I have also found that the individual issue threads are more enlightening than the overall left/right threads, because quite often people with whom I very strongly agree on one issue are the very same people with whom I very strongly disagree on others. I consider myself conservative, and I'm sure most of you would lump me in that basket. However, I often find myself agreeing on some issues with folks here whom I consider to be neon-sign carrying liberals. I think it is all fun and interesting, and just like I accept that my friends in real life have different views than mine, I accept that my friends here may have different views than mine, as well. If I've learned anything from all these threads, it is that people are far more difficult to label than most folks let on, and that even carefully crafted labels are not very good predictors of opinions on the diversity of issues worthy of discussion we face as a society.
