Look out world! I am starting training for my first real flying job after
getting my Commercial ticket two weeks ago.
I have done 4 out of 25 hours of insurance required flight training in a
Blackhawk Cessna Caravan, hauling skydivers. I will be the backup pilot.
Though the main pilot is going into the Air Force
What an elevator! It hauls 16 jumpers to altitude (13,500 AGL) in about 12
minutes, including getting lined up on jump run. Climb is done at 90-95
knots. It descends at 140 with the prop flat, around 5,000 FPM beating
most jumpers to the ground.
It is basically two big traffic patterns done within 3 miles of the
airport. One Climbing to jump run and one descending to land. The DZ, jump
pilot and airplane make money based on getting each load done as quickly as
possible. Hot refueling is done each 4th load.
This DZ is very well manged and runs like clockwork. Safety is the top
consideration.
This is VERY different from a low and Slow Pietenpol. I hope to commute to
work in the Piet someday.
Blue Skies,
Steve D.

no need to point out making sure the aluminium ( I spelled it the British
way) needs to be clean and dry. Otherwise, easy to use.
My personal problem is saying "That looks very good and smooth! Imagine
what one more coat will do!" and ending up with a run.
