I agree with you on all accounts.Thank you again. Skill set and current skydiving standards are at a record time low at this point at most DZ's.I get around lots and see what's going on.Its a disaster I can just say at this point. The goal here is to get our tandem skydiving business back under control.
-
Skill set for either aircraft is the question here.....and do we need to add or integrate the huge differences in our tandem training?
-
It appears to me that the reserve side instructor isn't flying his slot.So the main side instructor is doing all the work. Reserve side looks to just be hanging on for the ride.

Thank you very much for your reply.Its a great help.

Tandem master rating new thought! tandem master certification: turbine aircraft (13000ft and above) vs 182 cesna (8000ft and above) Question....is there a difference to consider when getting a tandem rating.
-
Need help sometime doing tandem ?
-
Rush cube ? lone star ? Good luck to you in making further decisions for yourself in our sport of skydiving.
-
Community and family....exactly! and agree on all accounts.How can we improve our DZ work environments ? But can't clearly reach out to everyone that's part of this family without having to be concerned with (dirty laundry)
-
Ok,great!!! looks like no one has the balls to step forward on this matter.
-
Just breathe through it and ride it out.

Personal issues with an DZO don't count. Its the guys with a clapped out 182 and a couple of old tandem gear to look like the biggest drop zone in the region.Just some more info needs to be out there for the professional skydive instructor to avoid subpar outfits running cheap daily deals and waisting our time and money and use you.
-
Where and how could I find a listing for DZO that a proffessional skydive instructor must avoid.

John Leblanc,fly like a pro,that's where I heard the sweet spot expression for part of a flair the first time.

Got it.Bigger rocks....love it.

BSR's and flight rules! that's the point here.

Last season at skydive south Texas I made a safety call,a newly rated tandem master felt uncomfortable jumping in our weather conditions.And what I got in return was a ground crew that got mad not making $ that day,and a DZO that through chairs at me in the hangar and physically pushed be when I had my back turned to him.He was out to pick a fight, that's his reputation.
-
Thanks for sharing your story. Awesome how a few of us are on the same page.

Beevo, It's a beach resort location,and next to stiff winds you dealing with low cloud layers as well. No visibility!!! no jumping out.
-
Thank you. I'm also a S&TA.
-
Just got fired today for making a not to jump call.All took place in the plane.
-
Thanks guys for reply.I jumped again in 16mph gusting to 29mph.And 20mph to 30mph was the wind forecast.Its been about the norm where I'm jumping right now and just needed some input and to get sensible when to stop jumping. I usually only stop when the parachute stops having performance. I just hit a gust the moment I was set up to touch down,it stop me like hitting a wall,lifted me up,pushed me side ways and slammed me to the ground,all good and no one injured.All happened in about 10 to 15ft hight.

Whats a suggested wind limit for tandem skydiving? Serious replies only please. Thank you

It's very upsetting to see a student harness put on wrong.
-
Sigma's at 500 lbs & taking tandem students up to 300 lb?

All your questions & curiosity about taking overweight tandem students will be answered after you experience a reserve ride:) Stay aware & super alert to stay safe. -
Any recommendations out there when it's still ok to jump tandem in freezing temperatures at altitude ? I would appreciate some serious input, Thanks
