you can still climb out on the strut/wheel of the otter...

it just takes a longer reach

5'4", & tiny little hands...Um yeah, not gonna happen.

Which plane did you jump from during AFF/ training?

Various kinds if you were lucky enough?

I'm sure you mean skydiving but my first few jumps were from C-119, C-123 and C-130 aircraft while with the 82nd Airborne at Bragg.

My first 50 or so skydives were out of a H-21 helicopter. The H-21 was a fantastic jump ship. Almost no prop blast and a huge door we could just step out. That took some getting used to after prop blaster aircraft.

Favorite aircraft: Skyvan and DC-3. I owned a small DZ with a Cessna 182 which I loved to jump and fly jumpers.

Aircraft I want to jump: hot air balloon, an ultra-light and a Boeing 727.

Jaye, I know you can dangle on the 182 like a pro, just have to tell the pilot to give you a bit of a cut.

Yay for 182's!

I'll leave the chimpanzee dangling to you more flexible jumpers... I just like to be entertained.

Cessna 182 - Registration ZS-CEA - First jump on the 28th July 1990
Middle of winter with no inflight door - sitting in the 'hot seat' looking out...thinking "if it weren't so cold, I'd be thinking "WTF am I doing here" "

My first two jumps were out of the Desert Express twin otter in Cal City, then I jumped out of a Queen Air and a King Air at Air Adventures in Taft. If I knew then how scary Queen Airs were I probably would have stuck with the otter.

Number 1 static line, out of a 'borrowed' C 182 . then
the next 4 static lines were from a Cessna 210 !!! retractable landing gear !!
which the pilot would unfold during jump run. !! hahaha He would stand on the right brake so the wheel would lock,,,,, ( except for the one time when He and the jumpmaster thought it would be "amusing" to let me roll off the front of the damn tire... !!!! hahaha Yeah real funny...)... my 3rd jump ever,,,
I held on real well to the strut,, dangling in front of the wheel with my static line blowing around behind me !!! I turned my head to look at my JM ,, and HE was kneeling there..and Just like the pilot was laughing!! like crazy.....
So i did a "chin-up" reached back and found the tire with my left foot... and completed my exit..... I was waaay long!!!..
We jumped the C 210 ( about the size of a 206 ) for about a year then got a 182..
So I mostly learned on 182's.... and C 180s ( at one time there were 5 cessna DZs near me,, each less than and hour and a half away....)
I began to learn how to do RW out of a De Havilland Beaver, back in the 70's...I am still learning,, only NOW it's from 14 grand, and it's out of another De Havilland...the magnificent Twin Otter..

S/L from Cessna 182, cargo door 206 and Beech D-18,

Planes sounds familiar! lol

IADs from 182s, and PFF from a Beech 18.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

That's because I learned before IAD or PFF became fashionable in Canada.
Up hill, both ways, in the snow ....

I earned my A Certificate in 1979 (at Arthur, Ontario), the same year that Tom MaCarthy introduced IAD to Canada. Now I hear that Tom has dropped IAD in favor of a tandem-to-PFF program.
