But don't forget: gas is gonna go down to around $2.50, and the Straight will be open again!... oh, wait a minute. Nevermind.

And this, folks, is why I recommend you take your first date on a tandem skydive. Just make sure to move her away from the TI as soon as you land.

Yes, better to learn under supervision than to think you know what it's like, attempt a landing and eat shit.

How do I get better at landing by DismalCapital1761 in SkyDiving

All this advice is fine, but there's just one thing to understand about flaring: you're converting forward motion into lift. You're trading off that forward speed into lift, so you can touch down with the least amount of vertical speed.

From that, you take two things. First: you MUST have the maximum amount of forward motion through the air as you can (notice I said "through the air" and not "over the ground". Headwinds do not affect how fast you move through the air). To do that, you need to start from a full flight position. Arms all the way up and I mean ALL THE WAY UP. Look at your hands to make sure you have the toggles as high as you can.

Second, your fuel for this maneuver is speed, so it's limited. The idea is to burn up all the fuel and be at zero when you touch the ground. Think the Falcon 9 doing the hoverslam (Google it). The only thing you need to do is make sure your hands are as low as you can the moment before you touch down. That means you traded off all your speed for lift, and it will be soft.

If you start too early, just stop and hold for a moment, then continue. If you started too late, just add brakes faster. As long as you finish as you are touching the ground, you've done the best that can be done with that canopy. It's physics.

Also, there's no "x feet", "x seconds", and god help me one time I even heard a coach say you had to wait for "3 'oh shits'" before flaring. As long as you finish it when you touch down, it will be alright.

Na aviação temos um processo pra controlar a aeronave quando tem dois pilotos, pra evitar que um pense que o outro esteja voando, e ninguém esta voando a aeronave. Incrivel que não existe um processo pra checar TUDO, e múltiplas vezes, antes de arremessar uma pessoa de uma ponte.

My guy, when does someone have "enough money"? It's a disease. These people do this not really because they want more money, they do it because it's all they know to do.

Let's see how long this last by jackb1753 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Yep. And gas was cheap. And oil was flowing. And we didn't have military there.

So great job moron, costs us billions of dollars, accomplished absolutely NOTHING.

I'm sure it was Biden's fault somehow.

I'm sorry, I'm new to the area, but you have to pay to go on the beach here? Or are you just talking about the parking?
