    The only time you pay is if you could have got out and choose not to.

    Certainly no desert wine. More like Ribiena blackcurrent drink... This year is supposed to be the best year for many due to the increadible summer we had.

    Gloves. Your hands get cold. Not during freefall but once you are under canopy. Basically what you would normally given the conditions just under your jump suit.

    Thats a weird statement. Not sure I really understand it. People who run into burning buildings are brave. Skydivers are out for a good. time! Slagging pilots now are we.... Some of my best friends are pilots. Even my dad. You saying my dad isn't cool!!!

    Interesting. I am starting a DZ in March so have spent quite a lot of time looking at the requirements but its all from a UK perspective. Aviation law is a funny beast. I recently did my Airlaw exam as part of a PPL. One of the rights (and there aren't many!) of a PPL holder is the right to drop parachutists.

    I went to our Aero Club AGM yesterday. God it was painful. From complaints to the staff getting free membership to backstabbing and bitching about an above the cost of living increase in hanger space. Our skydiving club AGM is being held on the 20th December, when we will get a helicopter in to play with for an afternoon, everyone will be wearing Santa / Raindeer / Snowman suits as they're hanging of the strut over the beach and then we'll be partying until we can party no more in the evening.... Tell me now who's got it right!

    of the 40+ members of our skydiving club 6 are pilots. Thats quite a lot compared to the general public.

    I have jumped at Dz's in France, here in Jersey and the UK. Its the chief instructor who calls the plane. If the weather changes and doesn't look good the Jump Master on the plane, the Pilot or the Ground can call it off and everyone gets there money back. If this is unusual: How does this work with students? How does it work on a busy day when you manifest and it could be several hours before you jump?

    Seems like things stateside are somewhat different to this side of the pond!

    Only if you want to pay the pilot. Technically if the punters are paying for the ride and even if the pilot is unpaid you need a CPL (eg a senic tour), however in skydiving they are paying for the skydive not the ride - and that only begins when they get out the plane. If the pilot is hours building no it can be done with a private pilots license (provided they are not paid). The majority of jump pilots (in the UK at least) are flying on a PPL to churn hours. Harsh. Never been to a DZ where if its called back due to weather you loose your ticket.

    Mx Pro DV looks like a good choice to mix audio and vis keeping the vid quality to burn onto a DVD. Anyone had any experience with that?
