diverdriver 6 #26 February 19, 2004 QuoteActually, if sitting up front in an otter with a pilot I know, I will roll the nose trim down a couple of notches and see how long it takes the pilot to correct it. I did this once to a pilot all the way to altitude and asked him before we exited if he thought it was weird that he had been trimming the nose up the whole flight. He didn't know what I was talking about. Can't do that to me. I keep my hand on the trim the whole flight. You'd be grabbing my hand if you tried that. Unless, you're just that way.

sunshine 2 #28 February 19, 2004 QuoteYou know I would never intentionally put you on the other side of the river (unless the winds were from the east). I have a rep to uphold. Putting someone off intentionally...well, Bo pointed out that I just couldn't bring myself to do that. Woohoo, i think i've just been given permission to make fun of DD.

flyhi 24 #29 February 19, 2004 Quote- If you're in a C-182, unzip the headliner You have a headliner? QuoteHow to annoy your DZ Pilots. Ask him the maximum airspeed for holding between 6,001 and 14,000 feet (230 KIAS) or the weather required for a visual approach (ceiling at or above 1,000 feet and visibility at 3 miles or greater). When he is wrong, just shake your head and say, "And you call yourself a pilot?" Then ask him to fly jump run 3 feet to the left of the last one, cause that's how much he made you miss the peas by.Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

ACMESkydiver 0 #35 February 19, 2004 Quote...-another fun one is to "bump" something on climbout.(like the throttle.) Yeah, or whilest sitting in jm slot (well it's jm slot at my DZ) get your rig caught under the steering thingy when you try to turn to look out the window... THAT made for an interesting moment... Or, if you're last out, as you're crouching in the door, lean over to the pilot and yell "Hey! Ya wanna go with me? It's fun!!" Or... 5 right... 5 left.... naw, 5 right... huh-uh! 5 left! Oh shoot...shoulda been 5 right... -where are we landing again? Really though, I've only asked for a correction once. And the spot was still Ok.~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jlmiracle 7 #43 February 19, 2004 QuoteWho elses fault can it be? They don't give control inputs next to the door... Generally you blame the driver of a car if they get lost or get a bad parking spot. Same policy applies to pilots too right? and the pilot should also let us know when the group ahead of us is at 45 degree angle so we know when to exit.Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
