Thanks for posting this Kerry! I’m a brand new jump pilot out at 7 Hills Skydiving in Marshall WI! The tips you gave will definitely help me out a lot. If you’re ever in the area stop by WI97 and say hi, or maybe come jump with me sometime! Rock on man and keep making amazing videos!!🤘
I've been meaning to visit 7 hills for years. It sounds like a good old fashioned club DZ like the St. Croix Valley Skydiving club where I started back in 1986.
We stopped spinning jump planes 25 years ago. It's just not efficient, even with piston aircraft. Turbines don't have any risk of shock cooling so we descend as whatever airspeed is the limit for that plane.
I noticed you popped your side window on decent. Does that help with the wind buffeting? My A20s can get pretty uncomfortable after a couple drops due to the excessive wind buffet cut out during open door operations..
