How Far Away Should Coffee Table Be From Couch

Sunset Track Dive

On Tuesday, despite perfect weather after work again stayed in the drop zone. I had considered myself a relaxed two jumps to make and to end the evening, quiet in soccer. The After-Skydiving-pleasure began with a beautiful 4-RW jump, followed by a flat Köpper of 1,500 meters. I was so pleased with myself and the world and just about to grab my umbrella, when I asked Giorgio if I would like to participate on a track, Dive into the sunset load.

Track Dive I've never done before, so there was time to experience something new and because it can be truly do not ask twice. Always more exciting than any of Argentines, the 'nervous round leather ball run after - Wacka, Wacka! So I have to pack a little down on the tube to even get into the last plane of the day. The track is

Dive not only as usual about three kilometers into the depth but it literally flies through the air and makes, depending on how well you mastered the whole thing, even really good distance above the ground. So you do not come with other jumpers from the Load in the way you jump as the last out of the machine and flies an arc back to the drop zone. I once tried the idea in a sketch of budget cuts:


We were seven and had planned in a dart-like formation flying, as we know them from fighter jets. Well with the formation, it has not really went well, but it was fun with several, if somewhat uncoordinated, so as to fly through the air. For the first try not too bad, because here too, practice makes perfect.

By keeping track you do not just drive to tidy the front, but it is also slower. And so we had this leap good 75 seconds of freefall time instead of the usual 60th The next flight through the air at just the setting sun can cause. Knowing

height in the ear

the amount you are is just one of the most important things during a parachute jump. Okay, if you are in free fall just 3700 or 2800 feet high, may still be quite matter. But at least if one is separation height when jumping with others, a good level awareness is essential. From Pullhöhe, which is the size in which one opens the parachute, not to mince matters. But also know the screen must be open as far is it to the ground, so you can approach the landing right.

Since one can estimate the height in the air, hardly correct, each parachutist with an altimeter on your wrist from which he can always read the current altitude. Now we have, especially when several jumps together, not always the amount will not in view, and we constantly look at the altimeter, because you want to also focus on the joint flight. Nevertheless, in order not to miss any important moments, there are so-called altimeter.

altimeter are small devices, which are stored in the helmet, and function like an altimeter. In addition, they give off in certain adjustable heights beeps you hear, logically, even if you just do not look at the altimeter. Two weeks ago I bought the Optima2 that can do just that. This altimeter will beep up to three times in free fall and also up to three times during the trip screen in different pitch, frequency and volume. It can be adjusted to the specific warning level at 10m intervals.

Optima2 I have my set so that it beeps the first time in a separation height, so at 1,500 feet to stop for me, then the character with the formation and start the track. The second warning signal sounds at 1,100 meters high - end the track, profusion and parachute drag. It is this second sound is very useful since you do not see the track the altimeter on your wrist can. The third warning I've heard yet, fortunately. He is set to 500 feet and say to me: You should seriously think about it now to pull the reserve!

The three warning levels in the flight screen I set to 200m, 150m and 100m. They help me to counter the maneuvers, cross the final approach and take time. The third warning tone sounds, it is time to make up for the landing against the wind.

The altimeter is a useful device, I've gotten used to the fast and that's really practical. At the same time it would increase security, if for some reason sometimes the altimeter on your wrist fails. This can for instance be the case if the wrong moment, the battery gives up the ghost. Then you have a second reliable device in or on the ear.

A hammer geiles weekend is behind me and what remains is the realization that this sport is the greatest, there is. Who said what else is a fucking liar! I admit, this opinion is very one-sided and subjective, but what the heck, is my blog ;-)

With nine jumps I have made a good 10% of my total jumps last weekend. And at every step there's something new to . Do Two jumps are particularly noteworthy. On Saturday, I jumped with Sarah and Steffi together and we made a Wheel exit it. Pretty much every man on the front legs of a closed them creates a wheel. Construction is already on the plane and is not due to the action for this relatively small door that simple. Then dislocated it together out of the plane and if all goes well then the wheel turns quickly in the air. We have even went well and we shot a few seconds rather quickly. That was super funny and cries out for repetition.

This Saturday was still a sunset-load of special plans, in which I am relatively spontaneously 've entered. First, however, flew the Cessna Caravan of YUU-Skydive Association our place and Drops 14 Skydiver. Then, a jump from two machines on the drop zone YUU was planned. So both panning started at 20:40 with jumpers from Ha ho lm in the gardens about 35km away Ho Hen lo ckstedt. Even the climb was a real experience, as both machines in formation at 4,000 meters walked (Photo by YUU homepage ):


was top you come off simultaneously from two machines and two large formations, each with jumpers from two machine made. I was Although in neither of the two formations, but jumped to second with Jessie. The view was this really great, you could see the mouth of the Elbe really good and the red sun appeared just in the North Sea. Then hung on only 24 screens above the drop zone near Itzehoe.

The drop zone is located on the grounds of the former air force base "Hungry Wolf" of the Bundeswehr. The landing area for the jumpers is in contrast to the in Hartenholm huge and it was to land no problem, even if I had the floor of the place until then never set foot. In the evening there was still food on the drop zone to a party with all the jumpers, lots and a live band. A successful event, which also cries out for repetition.

flight hours after the four of

was finally nice weather predicted for a Saturday, so I've been to Item 9 on the clock last Saturday on the square. Because I knew that I had on that day only to half past one time and again for Sunday bad weather was announced, I wanted to at least make a morning or two good jumps. Well, eventually it became two, and which were also super funny.

with me already so early in the course were Soltan, Gerald and Alex and we have entered for a 4-RW jump straight into the first load of the day. A short time later we were already out again because with us a lot of students already early in the course were. Well, and just because they've been waiting for three weeks, weather permitting students who have got the priority. Sure it was annoying at first, but you think back to his own student life and mind as it is on the ground to be, while all the jumping around you, that's all right. We were in the two.

We are linked jumped off the plane, while Soltan and Gerald were standing outside the airplane, Alex and I within. We have thus established that in the air as the first figure of the Stairstep Diamond should come out of it and looks like this:


The exit is even not so easy, if four people have to jump the same time and most are now well in the wind. We've done pretty well and were then actually stable in the desired figure. The next figure shows a Open Accordion was planned:


To dissolve the Stairstep Diamond at the two places are where arms and legs together and the two jumpers who fly together to watch against each other and adhere firmly to the arm. So at least the plan, unfortunately, the reality was somewhat different. When we let go of us it was over with the community and the two two person groups dispersed. Since the combination tickets easier is when you are traveling alone, we have the two groups then abandoned with the result that everyone is wild about flying. Mark of A was too high, then the other too low. One time was too far left, another right for it too far. Ultimately, three of us, it still managed a star.
