BrianM 1 #26 March 6, 2010 QuoteDoes the instructor always release the PC at the same point, or does he/she either release it or delay release based upon the the stability of the student at exit? Normally the PC is released as soon as the student has released from the aircraft. In the case of a student who is leaving unstable, there is a possibility of the student getting wrapped up in the bridle; in that situation, the instructor can hold onto the PC so it acts in a similar manner to a static line. It can be a split second decision..."It's amazing what you can learn while you're not talking." - Skydivesg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lippy 918 #30 March 7, 2010 QuoteFor example, there are only two civilian DZs in Canada still dropping students with static-lines. All the other Canadian DZs converted to IAD during the 1980s. Beiseker was using S/L under Jim's ownership...I believe they went back to S/L after the Carey Pringle (spelling?) incident. I'm pretty sure they're back to IAD with the new ownership.I got nuthin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
