    Your post is unclear as to intent or question, but I will suggest that a TI who is unable to conduct a Tandem Skydive safely without the assistance of the student should re-evaluate their ability. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    My observation has been that a new jumper with 50 jumps off the bridge in a couple weeks has not developed nearly the judgment that a guy with 50 jumps over a year off more technical objects has. I'm firmly convinced that at this point, in the vast majority of cases, the thing that kills us is not a lack of technical skill--it's a lack of judgment. Bingo. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I think 1 minute rotations are a waste of time. 2 or 2 1/2 minute rotations are better. If you ran out of time on your jump that's ok, just finish the missed TLO's on the next jump.

    Naw that was a different A/C. This one looks like it might have issues when it comes to being a jump ship. That ramp doesn't look opperable in flight. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Those that wish to learn and be helped will seek it, or accept it if offered. The jackasses will just keep on truckin' though. Fortunately they tend to be "tourists" in one way or another. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I wouldn't say "rained out", but there were "challenging conditions" I ain't complaining, I walked away with $1000.......

    I would argue that the back loop (flip) is both the hardest and most dangerous manuver to learn in the wind tunnel enviorment, but also the worst to spot safely for both flyer and instructor. The reason? A vertical (standing) to vertical back flip can and does produce drives (motion) in all directions through out the rotation of the flip. In a walled tunnel this obviously can cause colisions with the wall, and in a non walled tunnel causes travel outside the airflow. Not good if you're in anything close to a head down orientation. The horizontal back flip (belly or back) is harder yet, as there can be major vertical componant lost in the transition when the flyer passes through a vertical (head down) orientation, not to mention the drives (tracking) towards walls or out of the air collum. Be careful. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
