nicrussell 0 #30 December 2, 2003 QuoteFAA only requires a rigger to observe you pack... doesnt say anything about you having to observe anything Thus this is all perfectly legal. The FAA only requires a rigger to observe if you are packing the parachute for another person, not yourself. And I bet the jumper your packing blind for wouldnt be too keen on the idea. nic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's got some great stories that usually involve loss of effective radio communication. -Josh If you have time to panic, you have time to do something more productive. -Me* *Ron has accused me of plagiarizing this quote. He attributes it to Douglas Adams. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FrogNog 1 #34 December 5, 2003 QuoteBlind People Jumping? How do you know when to Flare?..... I wouldn't be as worried about that as "How do you assess malfunctions?" BTW, Rossis says he flares when he hears the crickets. -=-=-=-=- Pull. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
