When jump run was west to east, the plane would fly first over the tandem landing area then the experienced landing area. The next thing the jump run passed was the main runways; the tandem landing area could not be there because there was no access (unless you had whuffos walking across the runway, which would have been bad news.) And the event is just so big that it makes sense to separate the tandem/whuffo area from the main landing area. If you put the tandems out last, then they open and fly at 4000 feet back across the WFFC, and indeed are often just passing the main landing area when the next load is dropping on top of them. This is unsafe. To get around that, tandems exited first so they could circle and descend in their own airspace without causing trouble for the main landing area. When the jump run was east to west, tandems got out last as usual, and descended in their own airspace as above. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
