GLIDEANGLE 1 #4 May 22, 2009 when in the door before exiting the aircraft the student checks with the inside and outside instructors...."check in, check out"...the "hotel" check.

It's not you, who will be performing the backflip, but the instructor, ask him and he will most likely do it and he will surely let you pilot the canopy for a bit as well (just ask).."Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today."

skittles_of_SDC 0 #8 May 22, 2009 Maybe. I've never seen them do it before. Not even once. That's not to say they won't. Like others have said you'll have to ask your instructor (the one gearing you up, not the one teaching class). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smartalecc5 0 #10 May 23, 2009 Did you do it yet? I just got my AFP license from SDC this week with my friend. Talk to the tandem instructor, I'm sure they'd be willing to work with ya. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In that case you get out after tandems. Not to mention that every tandem video plays on a screen after they are done editing it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2shay 0 #12 May 25, 2009 they will not do unstable exits at skydive chicago becasue they are a training dz and they want to show you the correct way. Once you move on to AFP you will eventually do flips.don't try your bullshit with me!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
