:: Damned ol' FAA, USAF, TFR, WX!!!! Low ceilings then the TFR scared off our pilot, "something bout being violated in prison is to be expected but don't want to get violated in an airplane." They didn't shut us down when W was in town and we jumped over Air Force One sitting on the tarmac? It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough.

Louie Loops on longer risers and whatever you do, don't put your hand in any loop with your toggle. If your whole hand is in the loop and you're down low and dirty, the toggle can catch in the loop just when you need to stab outta the corner and then you're fucked. Dave is right about only using two (index and middle) fingers and using the ring and small finger to lock the toggle into your palm. Ask DSE about it. I've gone up to 10K and worked out turn the whole way down and my fingers were a little sore but nothing bad. Better some sore fingers than a broken body. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.

I've always has a VISO on my wrist and I found a good price on a Neptune so I put that in my helmet with my other dytter. I was used to the VISO display so that's the way I went with the visual and I put the canopy alarms in the ear. I don't really use the alarms that much except for pattern entry and setup. The VISO on the wrist is on a plate so it sits like a wristwatch. Once I'm open, I rotate under my wrist (display visible to open palm) and that lets it be quite visible whether in brakes, hands in the dive loops, or fronts pulled. I'm really looking for my MP altitude on my VISO and I sort of tune out that 3rd canopy alarm. I just want to get to the MP in a window so it's the visual alti and visual clues that I use. I think if you put the Neptune on your arm and you're used to it, it would work fine but I've never tried hearing the alarm outside with a helment on. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.

The Abort Zone Article Feedback
buff replied to BrianSGermain's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Excellent article Brian and it complements the "don't go there" chapters -
Three things come to mind here: If you are going to try to learn to sit by yourself - don't. You need someone relative to you so you know if you are sliding across the sky up / down jump run. Very dangerous to others and yourself. Have an experienced head up flyer with you and keep your shoulders orientated on line-of-fligh and your chest/back perpendicular to it. Full altitude clear and pulls for your lonesome. Learn whatever canopy you are on inside and out. Stall it, dive it, bury a toggle, watch it and learn from it. It will save your life because when you need a shit load of experience and don't have it, you better have a big pocket full of luck. As a few recent incidents have shown us, if you're going to be the loner do us all a favor and tell someone you find you when the load is down. And tell manifest you are leaving for the day. Don't be that dead guy off the DZ who is found a couple of days later because you are only concerned about yourself and you get a pattern and a rep. Your family will appreicate it and it won't give the media another chance to portray us as uncaring assholes. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough.

I think that this is applicable: Sec. 91.113 Right-of-way rules: Except water operations. (a) Inapplicability. This section does not apply to the operation of an aircraft on water. (b) General. When weather conditions permit, regardless of whether an operation is conducted under instrument flight rules or visual flight rules, vigilance shall be maintained by each person operating an aircraft so as to see and avoid other aircraft. When a rule of this section gives another aircraft the right-of-way, the pilot shall give way to that aircraft and may not pass over, under, or ahead of it unless well clear. (c) In distress. An aircraft in distress has the right-of-way over all other air traffic. (d) Converging. When aircraft of the same category are converging at approximately the same altitude (except head-on, or nearly so), the aircraft to the other's right has the right-of-way. If the aircraft are of different categories-- (1) A balloon has the right-of-way over any other category of aircraft; [(2) A glider has the right-of-way over an airship, powered parachute, weight-shift-control aircraft, airplane, or rotorcraft. (3) An airship has the right-of-way over a powered parachute, weight-shift-control aircraft, airplane, or rotorcraft.] However, an aircraft towing or refueling other aircraft has the right-of-way over all other engine-driven aircraft. (e) Approaching head-on. When aircraft are approaching each other head-on, or nearly so, each pilot of each aircraft shall alter course to the right. (f) Overtaking. Each aircraft that is being overtaken has the right-of-way and each pilot of an overtaking aircraft shall alter course to the right to pass well clear. (g) Landing. Aircraft, while on final approach to land or while landing, have the right-of-way over other aircraft in flight or operating on the surface, except that they shall not take advantage of this rule to force an aircraft off the runway surface which has already landed and is attempting to make way for an aircraft on final approach. When two or more aircraft are approaching an airport for the purpose of landing, the aircraft at the lower altitude has the right-of-way, but it shall not take advantage of this rule to cut in front of another which is on final approach to land or to overtake that aircraft.

It was pretty close but good luck finding the equation. I think you did it on a napkin and I used it to wipe ketchup off my lip while we were watching the toss out by the gas tank and eating burgers.

Boot into safe mode Run - Regedit Look in HKLM-Software-Microsoft-Windows-Current Version- Run Look for a key that does not look right. Something random with tssd in it or sitting in a \Local Settings folder. That will probably be your malware. Note the path and then search the registery for every instance and get rid of the keys. Then go delete the program itself. If you don't feel comfortable doing this, pay someone or get a MAC. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough.

I hear Dennis' name at least twice a week at our DZ and Superbudman is still jumping a Racer that Dennis sold him. The legend is that Jesus bought it new and passed it on to Dennis along with a camera helmet that you had to hand crank the 35mm film thru. Blue Skies Dennis and fly free forever.
