crotalus01 0 #2 March 19, 2007 probably varies dz to dz but my experience was they gave me as long as I needed to go over the dive flow before we manifested. Usually it only took about 10 or 20 minutes, you are not trying to learn brain surgery, just the fundamentals that will keep you safe and in control in the sky... As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #3 March 20, 2007 Depends on how much time has elapsed since your previous level. Long time interval - you should be getting a thorough review to include re-training on what you don't remember. Short time interval - 10 to 20 minutes or how ever long it takes you to get comfortable with the new TLOs and Dive Flow.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

AFFI 0 #4 March 20, 2007 What pops said, but I tend to concentrate on EP's first and foremost, then canopy piloting saving freefall skills last. Students must be able to handle potential problems should they arise, I will still spend the bulk of training time on EP's... TLO's in freefall are not much good if an injury occours, students will not come back if they have a bad experience and get injured landing. It has been my experience, although limited that students will relax and preform better in freefall if they are confident in their ability to land safely and that is bred on good training with emphasis on the priorities in my sig line. I have yet to see a jumper on the plane riding to altitude with a femur sticking out. -Mykel AFF-I10 Skydiving Priorities: 1) Open Canopy. 2) Land Safely. 3) Don’t hurt anyone. 4) Repeat… Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #5 March 20, 2007 Perris was the longest I saw - every day included time in the harness room doing physical drills. Others had the plane warming up when I parked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallingDuck 0 #6 March 20, 2007 As long as you know what your talking about, and have studied your SIM, it shouldn't be more than 30 min. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
