I think it has all been covered here but the BPA has a Canopy Handling manual intended for students that might be useful. Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Hmm, I guess a pointed finger means something different to what it does where I instruct? Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

They were originally made for a well known European FS load organiser, who works the hot, summer boogies, hence the grips. I'm ahead of the game for when tandem RW comes back into fashion Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Works for me! Unfortunately, I have no idea who made my bootie trousers as they were made by someone in Europe for someone who they didn't fit and passed to someone else who they didn't fit who passed them to me, and they don't have a label in them. And they are starting to show their age so will need replacing soon. The jacket is a TonySuit C-Wing. I wouldn't say they exactly match though Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Incidents thread it may be that thread gets locked or moved as it doesn't appear to be an Incident as such, but I'm not a moderator of that forum so am only able to lock this duplicate. Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Ah no, the date on the YouTube video is 2010 and I have no reason to doubt that. My point was we've been through a storm about similar practices a few years ago and thought a bit of historical context about peoples' feelings (and outcome) about such practices might be useful.

I was jumping a 97 when filming the Brit Rotations team at the Mondial in Dubai last year, loaded at about 2.15:1 . It may not have been a final production version (think it was labelled XC97). I did get stand up landings every time (although occasionally it would be a "foot slapper" with the canopy stalling behind me at the end of the flare). I was doing aggressive turns for landing to build up speed and flaring very finely (minimal travel in the breaks) because at that loading it was very sensitive. I was too scared to land it without building up any speed I'll see if I can dig out any useful footage of the landings. Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Hi Duke, it depends on many factors; how far you get in the training or your post-student jumping, how well it is all documented, your attitude and the attitude of the people who make the decisions when you come to the UK. The USPA A licence is broadly equivalent to the BPA A Licence (although we have a mandatory hop and pop for level 8 and mandatory Canopy Handling (CH) requirements) plus a Formation Skydiving qualification post-student status to enable you to jump with non-coaches (or their equivalents). You'll likely be encouraged to transition to the BPA system of licencing so you'll be required to do whatever you can't adequately prove what you may have already done. USPA membership is not valid in the UK since we require the equivalent of €1.3M in third-party liability insurance to jump here and the USPA's $50k won't cover that so you will need to join the BPA. Whether you get USPA membership in the States is most likely down to the DZ you learn at over there. Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Allegedly, use of the tunnel would be inclusive of the cruise package. Considering these monster have move than 5,000 passenger, I could see there would be a cap on how much time you could fly. But what's the demographic of the passengers? I've never been on a cruise but my parents have (a lot), and if that is any indication, the majority wouldn't be inclined to use it much, if at all?
