Soloviev, apologies for the drift from original question

RMK

Whilst I respect your 1000 jumps, I would side with BB on this one (LMFAO). Having said that, I agree that in the sports jump world static line is an inferior process and a novice wishing to jump static line from a helicopter should be appropriately educated.

However, please don’t dismiss static line outright as it has its place where freefall and sports jump methodology would not produce appropriate outcomes i.e 80kg of equipment, low altitude, multiple jumpers, narrow wind cone, at sea, out of helicopter range.
