AviationTD 0 #7 July 21, 2013 Been a weekend pilot for 11 years. Took a break before I got into skydiving. Currently, I am studying BFR and will be active again. It is definitely the air, buddy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Koric101 0 #8 July 21, 2013 Can't beat flying, however you do it. 150 hours then started skydiving. Flying took a side seat due to funds though, can't quite accommodate both yet (it gets REALLY expensive to jump out of a plane when you're supposed to be the one flying it :p ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

erdnarob 1 #13 July 24, 2013 Dived ? with an airplane or in skydiving ? Anyway, I have flown : Cessna 150, Cessna 172, Cessna 182 (one time), Cessna Cutlass RG with variable pitch propeller, Aeronca Champion, a Maule (don't remember the type) and even flew for half an hour in the copilot seat of a Twin Otter for a total of 535 hours. Note : I started jumping 10 years before I have flown an airplane. Canada pilot license : YZP 296303Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all.

DBCOOPER 5 #17 July 25, 2013 about 1300 hours fixed wing about 3300 hours rotary about 1200 jumps would probably be about 2200 jumps if I didn't have to fly jumpers...thats the issue...Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

chuteless 1 #18 July 26, 2013 I have around 500 + - flying fixed wing, and over 1000 hours of hot air balloon piloting, and I've been jumping for over 50 years....although they are getting more scarce now. I don't fly aircraft or balloons due to 5 heart bypasses in Oct 2010. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

milehigheric 0 #23 July 27, 2013 You guys have got to be pushing drugs haha. I got my PPL(a) when I was 18 with the intentions of CPL/MEICR and employment. Money was a huge issue tho and I stopped flying at about 60 hours. 5 years later I'm in a position where I could continue training but with a young family I can't justify taking a 'pay cut' to be a pilot as much as I would love to. Skydiving a a happy and afordable median for me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
