Skydiving from a Microlight Trike
Got invited to fly tomorrow morning for the last time prior to the closure of our flying club, asked to drop something for the sky diving club! Got a strange idea that it might be a human.......
Has anyone ever tried dropping a skydiver from a trike? If so, is it advisable?
Please dont answer with the regulations to do with dropping things from an aircraft, I'm operating in a land without ANY regulations!
Cheers

Hi mutt,
Can't say I've ever had a someone jump out of my trike, but at my old club up in the North West one guy did it all the time. He'd climb to 3000ft-3500ft, engine off, guy jumped one way, trike went other way!
Maybe obvious, but just thought it'd let you know its possible!
Cheerio

A mate is a jump instructor in Ireland and is also a microlight pilot. He jumps out of trikes all the time.
Last year, he wanted to jump at the annual Spamfield meet, on the IoW.
The CAA made it clear that no arguments would ever sway them into allowing this.
I wonder if this now falls under EASA

So you likely won't get the text, but the pictures answer the question...
