Your welcome, Colin. You made it easy for me.

If you have a small rudder it might help alittle..... No Grecian for me, I happen to like my greys and have earned every one of them.

Maybe you can look forward to grey pubes then Glen? he was talking about his pubes. hasn't he told you he waxes? Just split some coffee out on my laptop............but no, we aren't THAT tight. www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

So your saying you'd exit a plane thinking, "It's got to be down there somewhere".......? www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

Reread his wording. He is talking about GETTING an rating, as in BMI or PFI. The Instructor course has alot of material to cover and is far more lengthly then just teaching someone how to fly a wingsuit. as Jason's tear weeps down his face of yesteryear, when unqualified people were given the rating over a beer at the bar....... www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

Altimeters can be a couple hundred feet off as you climb. Dont bother to adjust it, it will be on zero when you land. If it's 500ft or more you may need to have it tested. Train your mind for time in freefall, and use the angle of the horizon. It will take a few jumps to get pretty good at it. www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

There is no law that says you have to have a rating to instruct a new skydiver on how to skydive. Have you ever been to a non USPA drop zone at all? USPA has standards and guidelines they want Instructors to teach by, same as wingsuit manufacturers. Teaching the candidate the proper way to instruct takes time. What is your time worth? Have you ever heard the expression, "Sometimes you get what you pay for?" www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

Really Matt? You honestly think someone that skydives full time instructs for free, and that makes them the bad ones? Before instructors came about, alot of people jumped wingsuits without instruction. We were far from stupid. Having instructors now allows MORE people the ability to try a wingsuit with a clear expanation of what to expect and how to fly the suit, without the fear or lack of knowledge. www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

*** It is sad, but with big planes at almost all DZ's now, people don't always learn to spot and rely completely on the pilot. Sadly, very true www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
-
I'm going to completely agree with Zeemax here. If it overwhelms the student with the responsibility to tell the pilot there are wingsuits on board, or if they should exit or not when there is bad visibility, your student is clearly NOT ready to fly a wingsuit. www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

Not his fault? Do you even know what the techniques for spotting are? Knowing the winds aloft and adjusting your exit point accordingly ARE all part of spotting! www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

He did 2 jumps with me yesterday and did great. I'm sure he'll post more when he has a chance. www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

I have to agree. www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

Cool, see you there, and sorry about the purple mike...... www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

Scott The link you posted does explain flight pattern very well, it does not even touch on winds aloft. The pattern a pilot takes may be similar to what you have discribed, but pilots need to take the upper winds into consideration, and may need to modify the pattern abit to make it back to the DZ. www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

It's always better to order through a rep. They typically get thing faster and can answer any questions you have faster as well. www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

Basically it's like 20 aircraft all in the pattern for the same airport. Getting on a different load would be the wise choice. Having more then 3 groups exiting with separate patterns, on a single a aircraft is absolutely stupid...... www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

I have taken something that was posted in the incidents forum and thought it was appropriate to post here. Please remember good FLIGHT PLANNING is part being qualified to fly a wingsuit. Though this person was uninjured, but the outcome could have been alot worst. Even the off airport landings at my DZ, by a few jumpers, has become an issue with the DZO. Flight planning should be covered extensively during the ws first flight course, and with wind conditions changing everyday, ws pilots should take the time to check the upper winds aloft and not just assume that the pattern will be the same time they exit the plane. Know the DZ your jumping at as well, before putting on a wingsuit, and without knowing the correct flight plan for THAT DZ. www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

From SA, try Los Angeles International. Ontario is closer but I'm not sure they get direct international flights. There are plenty of hotels nears the DZ to stay at as well. Search hotels under Lake Elsinore. Lastly, make sure your invited before you spend the cash.
