EOCS 0 #6 June 30, 2011 Not sure what the make/model of the plane is :S Its a twin engine, 2 blade propeller. not a turbo prop. Holds 10 people. ES-PNA is the registry number in EU. Going to the DZ tomorrow ill UL a pic or something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 2 #7 June 30, 2011 is there a danger of hitting the landing gear or is it just a camera angle thing that makes it look that way? PS, congrats on your progress __ My mighty steed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EOCS 0 #8 June 30, 2011 You could leap out and get to it im sure its not too far out, but you dont have to take special care not to hit it either, the prop wind pushes u back pretty good from that close it seems. back to the DZ tomorrow for weekend jumping! if the weather cooperates Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moggybean 0 #13 June 30, 2011 Def an Islander. There is a (very small) chance of hitting the wheel, but you would really have to go for it. I've launched 4 and 6 ways from one without any problems. To the OP, well done, you didn't seem to have any major problems with your progression. The real learning and fun starts now! Enjoy and blue skies.

EOCS 0 #17 July 1, 2011 yea thats the same plane looks like.... The wind is still moving pretty quick when we exit, i dont expect it willl happen with us, BUT always good to see what it can look like if it does... 8 hours of work then its jump time!

skyflower_bloom 0 #20 July 1, 2011 I'm never livin' that down, am I? I'll have ya'll know I jumped a Cessna (albeit begrudgingly) three whole times since said encounter. I won't dive out of one (ever), and I won't launch more than a two way poised (even that one was a big advancement for my skydiving career, lol) but I did it!"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

Nope. You aren't ever going to be forgotten. And you weren't attacked. That wheel was sitting perfectly still, minding its own damned business, just hanging there waiting to be needed on landing, when you decided to attack it. Probably not the best technique for hand to hand (face to wheel??) combat, but that's a whole different issue. And diving exits out of a 182 are great. You put your foot on the step (ya know, the step is designed to be used by feet) and go."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

skyflower_bloom 0 #24 July 2, 2011 Yes, dear Joe, I am aware that it didn't maliciously reach out and assault me That was one battle that should have been avoided altogether! I screwed the pooch. Royally. There ya have it. But I learned from it and think I am a lot more aware of where things are and how to exit safely (doesn't mean I don't funnel 'em occasionally, lol, but ya know...) Still get more nervous with 182 exits than other planes, not saying my nerves are totally rational at this point since I know I can do it safely at this stage, but I think it's at least understandable) Ya'll have a 182 right? Maybe I'll come visit you this summer and you can help me overcome my issues lol. (We have one but fly the PAC in the summer, not that I am complaining) **And OP-- congrats on your AFF completion, and welcome! I got distracted by people messing with my head here lol, but didn't want to overlook your accomplishment (you'll notice we get distracted on here sometimes... lol) "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
