I did not take long to find fault with your attitude and I am only calling you what you deserve to be called.
Name calling is contrary to the rules of this forum.
Finding fault with my attitude? The attitude that one should wisely carry an extra set of keys when flying piston airplanes at a drop zone? Very dangerous that common sense stuff.
The attitude that it's okay to legally and properly fly jumpers at 18,000? I'd be thrilled to find the basis of your argument to that. Whereas it's an approved activity in an approved aircraft and conducted in accordance with the regulation, you've really no leg to stand on there, do you? You don't. I've dropped jumpers from that altitude, and jumped from that altitude many times.
The attitude that one had better have enough confidence in one's flying ability to be able to make a landing on a runway 18,000 below, on a clear, VFR day in a light airplane? You find this to be some superhuman event, then? A student pilot should be able to do that; I've never soloed a student that couldn't do a power off landing from the traffic pattern routinely and safely, and I can't imagine anyone being so incompetent or so unsure of their ability that they can't land on a runway 16,000 or 18,000 below them, while flying a light airplane on a nice, clear day. You find this a difficult concept?
The attitude that one had better be able to fly the airplane at altitude as jumpers climb out (and in some cases, stay out), or as jumpers shift the center of gravity beyond the aft limits as sometimes happens on a tailgate exit or a rear exit? You find it incredible that one should be expected to maintain control of one's aircraft at all times? I find it rather incredible that one could find such a basic concept incredible.
You find name-calling justified, then? Would the editing moderator who is concerned about shock-cooling a turbine engine kindly review the rules regarding name-calling on this web site?
Thanks for correcting my grammar, you must be a very smart guy.
You're welcome. I'm told that I am, but of course, if you say so.
Who is talking about clients? If a pilot intentionally stalled a plane with a friend on the outside I would beat the !!!! out of him, the pilot, for risking my friends life. Who is the client?
We've got one poster talking about breaking a jumper's teeth out, and you talking about "beating the !!!!" out of the pilot. Quite the professional ensemble there. In the professional world, everyone is your client. Your passengers, your dispatchers, the people who work on the aircraft, the fuelers, everyone. This may not be the case in your world, but it certainly is among professionals.
OK I am done with this, you obviously are winding me up as you have no clue. Saying a 206 drops at 16,000 feet shows you are just some sad guy who has never flown and never will fly jumpers or anything else.
You're certainly wound up, with the name-calling and physical threats. I'll give you that. It's not me doing it, however; it's something you've managed by yourself.
Of course a Cessna 206 can drop jumpers at 16,000. I've done it many times. Never been sad about it, either. As for flying jumpers "or anything else," there are lots of other "else's" but that's not really relevant to the thread now, is it?
