    Jealous that Cat friended me. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

    Mind going further into detail? Only thing I'm not a fan of on the Vector is the pickyness of the reserve bulk distribution, if done wrong, it fits like a brick around the yoke.. Mirages are for whatever reason known as being hard to get to look good, I don't have any issue with it, but I learned very early on my Mirage how to get it to look good.

    I find this is extremely hard to argue against. Have BA master riggers gotten it right? Yes. Have BA master riggers gotten it wrong? Yes. On top of that, buying a line set from the manufacturer doesn't guarantee that it's going to be the right one for your canopy. I'll reference you to Aerodyne and the Triathlon with the 4.0 mod. I have heard at least one instance that a tandem reserve was connected and packed with all the lines being held on to the canopy with safety pins... It was sealed and jumped for the duration of the repack cycle. The mfgr didn't bartack the lines. Shit happens, nobody is perfect.

    There are no barrels to tighten on PD Slinks. (But he should still get a rigger to look at things) Pretty sure that was a joke.

    Measuring trim isn't too difficult, you can even generally get an idea if it's out of trim and by how much during packing. According to the FAA published parachute rigger handbook, a senior rigger is allowed to replace lines and adjust them to put them back into trim on a main canopy. There are people that disagree with this, citing that it was a mistake and since it was a 3rd party contracted to write the manual, it doesn't go along with the FAR's.

    Oh shit, you just re-opened the can of worms when we finally JUST got the damn lid back on it! This one will get you a bunch of responses and get real confusing. I'd tell you my stance on it, but at least one very experienced crusty old master rigger will disagree with me, no matter what it is!

    A question for you: Back a couple of lifetimes ago, there was an additional license called Parachute Rigger. However, it was restricted to members of the military only. When a licensed Parachute Rigger left the military, they were upgraded to Senior Parachute Rigger. Do they still have that, Parachute Rigger, in the military? JerryBaumchen There is an MOS for parachute riggers in the military. They are afforded an easy way of converting their qualification to an FAA rating. They need only take a written test covering the FAR's (25 questions) and they may be awarded the FAA Senior Rigger rating, no oral/practical needed... which TYPE, I don't know, but I presume chest would be given and possibly back/seat if they have the training and practice working on them as well.

    There is FAR more involved in earning a riggers ticket than packing reserves. If they've earned their FAA rigger certificate, then they are a rigger (capable of minor repairs, determining airworthiness, etc) We have 2 levels of riggers: Senior and Master. Senior is the lower level, Master is the higher. Senior riggers are usually authorized to assemble, inspect, pack (reserves and mains), perform minor repairs of most equipment. Master riggers may do all of that, including major repairs and alterations (within some limits). It's very simple to check someone's credentials out and if you're curious as to if someone who is claiming to be a rigger really is, that's pretty easy to check.

    negative ghost rider, interior shots are of an Otter but on exit it's a Caravan Well, the Betty White jump was interior of an Otter and it was actually a PAC. Some good editing on their part too, they managed to take out the name and the tail number on the plane!

    Yup. New lines can have a huge impact on how the canopy flies compared to ragged out ones. If the lines are new and it's landing like shit, the toggles could be set in a different spot, or you just learned how to land shitty and need to learn to land it right.

    How is it confusing? No, but a coach rating is COACHING people, not harness hold or tandem instructing. Jim Crouch even said that the coaching jumps need not be with unlicensed students. Do you not believe that wingsuit coaching is defined as coaching? I think its VERY relevant and probably a great idea to have a coach rating for teaching wingsuiting. Proper gear checks, teaching techniques, debriefing methods...

    I'm sure the telecom giants will be both happy and sad. Happy that their networks will become less and less overloaded with people using their phones when the apocalypse comes.

    XP COULD have a grey button, like 98 and 95 did, if configured. XP comes stock with the GREEN button. Vista and 7 have start 'orbs' by default.
