When is the most dangerous time in a jumpship?

I voted takeoff but from my experience its when the engine quits (but when it happened we where at about 8000 ft)

When you have a pilot with poor judgment.

In my opinion the most dangerous part of any airplane flight is from takeoff to whatever altitude that aircraft requires to return to the runway for an emergency landing. Hands down.

V1 then 5 seconds later an engine out.

If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

[LongWayToFall 0]

From the point where the plane cannot stop on the runway during takeoff, to 1000ft.

>When the cut is made. (flying slow with shifting weight)

When bad things happen and the pilot doesn't screw up (example: pull out too hard and rip the wings off, fail to recover from a flat spin) too badly it's not a real issue.

I've been upside down in a King-Air. Apart from the people I was going to jump with getting scared and bailing out after the plane was back right side up it wasn't a big deal. Sure climbed quickly going back up to 12,500 feet AGL.

I voted who cares...get the fuck out.

But only because for some reason I have never been terrified or even slightly scared in an airplane. I guess I'm just too excited about the jump to focus on anything else.

When an AFF instructor steers the plane while the pilot "tries" to fix something? :)

Serious relationships turn into work after a few weeks and I already got a fucking job :)

I didn't know Vampires could take off, let alone have an engine out!

There's a good answer.

Sometimes I wonder what the hell some people eat that makes their farts so incredibly horrid. I'd swear whatever they ate must have been rotten and decomposing before they even ate it. They must be feasting on week old road kill to smell that bad. If something that smelly came out of me I'd go see a doctor. Their large intestine must have the chemistry of a septic tank.

I voted for take off. I am hoping one day to get back into skydiving hard core like I used to. I was visiting Perris yesterday to see some friends and stop by to check out the 100 way camp. The energy there was so awesome and contagious. I miss that.

After our N203E crash though, getting on a jump plane is harder than it has ever been. For me it is almost like holding a cat over a bathtub full of water. I hope that will go away sometime in the future... The NTSB findings of our own jump ship, how it was used and maintained has scared the shit out of me so now I question more than ever how jump planes are maintained, flewn and the dangers each possess.

Too much scary action for me in the past 2-3 years with airplanes and pilots. I am hoping the FAA makes DZOs change their ways to make our jump ships safer for us to jump out of. Until I see those things happening and becoming mainstream, I don't know how many more jump ships I will be boarding or exiting.

Hi bill,
Funny about chili!! From the bad old daze at old Elsinore (late 60's) all the bars around the Lake had jugs of pickled eggs and pickled pigs feet to eat along with drinking beer. Add this to doing a "Round Robin" start at one bar drink a beer go to the next , drink a beer there and keep going till you make it back to the bar you started at. Top off the night with a steak and eggs breakfast at the "Club Cafe" an all night truck stop up where the free way is now. Dirty Ed and Kevin Donneley would top all that off with a "Bowl of Chili and a rootbeer float!!" That would stew in them and guess what hapened at altitude on the "early bird" Beech 18 load!!!!!!!!!

Amen...on my B jump one of the JMs let one out right after takeoff and the smell wasn't gone before we got to altitude. Then today, on my C2, the JM let one out too, and it snuck up on me. I almost passed out and it wasn't out of fear of skydiving either!

What's amazing is that ,at the time of my post, there were 6 votes for the cut.


The 13 for Who Cares are understood to be facetious comments.
