    Is it April 1st? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    And that's gonna depend totaly on the individual and how they take care of themselves. I can do 10 with pack jobs and feel fine provided I eat, and drink fluids, and get plenty of rest the night before. But then I am used to doing so. A weekend TI might not be capable of the same. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Did you know that formaldehyde is used in some forms of RV black water (sewage) tretment products and incorect usage can lead to very high levels of the gas? Maybe the problem lies with the users. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

I mean, for that airplane to be able to carry the enormous brass balls of the crew....... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Officialy I would say you only "owe" one case. Is there ever more than one answer to this question? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Fooling with someones gear is a bad idea. I wouldn't use baby powder either. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    The grandfather clause ended in 2001 I believe. And the requirement as stated is "Any USPA member conducting a tandem jump must hold a USPA Tandem Instructor rating and a current equipment manufacturers type rating, effective with the publication of the 2009 SIM (October 2008)." I'd say that does change the earlier stance that the USPA had of manufacturer rated instructors could continue to do first time or non teaching tandems. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    the An-2 I think you win. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Understood. I do not know the renewal requirements of any manufacturer other than RWS/UPT, but apparently there is no change for those that hold a USPA/Vector/Sigma rating as long as the USPA rating has always been kept current. Can anyone enlighten us on the renewal requirements for Strong, Racer, Eclipse? Thanks for the reply Chris. In your interperetation of the situation, do the more strict regulations rule? I.E. if the USPA reg is stronger than the manufacturer's reg, is it binding? If so is the reverse held true as well? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Do you have an example? I do. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Do you have proof of this? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Bondage, and Pain are two different things. BDSM stands for many things. Bondage & Discipline Domination & Submission Sadism & Masochism ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    This is all fall out from a problem that was begining 10 years ago. And yeah if DZO's, S&TA's, and Instructors sit people down and refuse to let them get away with this behavior, then there will be a positive effect. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Now that I can definately understand. Home Depot is the Walmart of hardware. You'll find another job. Ever think about packing on the DZ? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    What do you have to do to get canned from Home Depot? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Look like this beaver owner might be thinking about killing a kitten. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    So it is. Looks like I'm going to the USPA for clarification on this one...... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. diablopilot
    I read "conducting a tandem jump" and being the instructor. Is it? Can you show me this? If so I wonder why I keep paying for renewal. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I worked for an owner of the company (UAC) durring the development phase. I assure you the original focus was a skydiving A/C. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Maybe, one never knows.....have fun! I miss the balloon! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I disagree. From the onset of the project, the concept of the PAC750XL was to create a skydiving aircraft. No other aircraft in the industry can have the same said about them. From an operaters standpoint it is superior in performance than any other turbine jumpship. Are there things that could have been done different? Yep. Oh and Phree.... find a modern jump plane that wasn't derived from another design. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
