urban legends for the most part. many of the circumstances that would lead to enforcement against the pilot could/would also bring action down on the jumpers. one does not need certification to be reprimanded. what if you jump a baser from a plane, is it a baser jump? i think that comment gos with another thread. oh and don't forget.... 14CFR105 clearly states if your main has been sitting packed for more than 180 and you jump it, you have just broken the law, and according to many on this board, put the pilot at grave risk of losing his license. is it safe to jump a sabre 170 that has sit for 6 months? i believe so, however it is as ILLEGAL as jumping a single parachute system. we all have rules we are comfortable breaking, lets just break the ones we want to and let others do the same (so long as it doesn't put persons or property at risk - which by the way is the spirit most aviation regs are written in, that or blood) oh and i didn't have a dropzone user name and the ones from basejumper don't work (not sure why, they are both GOP) itsbasebitches!

it seems to becoming home to a bunch of kittycats (read pussies) that are more into 'freedom from' than 'freedom to' itsbasebitches!

my point exactly. think of the faa as a giant beast. we are small and the beast cannot feel when we poke it on the tail. slap it in the face with a nine iron though and it may sit up and take note. itsbasebitches!

anyone know of a pilot actually having any action taken against them for a technically illegal jump?? I don't. I have read cases where pilots were caught with illegal contraband (expensive cargo) and NOT punished because it was proven they had no knowledge of the illegal transport. I have probably dropped between 1500-2000 skydivers in my day and not ONCE did i inspect a reserve card. any of you ever use a packer? unless that packer was a rigger or under the direct supervision of one, you are in violation of 105.43(a). ...might as well have jumped your warlock rules are for skydivers... its base bitches!
