macau 6 #2 June 2, 2020 Not terrible but does not make him sound professional. Hope it is at a better level when communicating with ATC. . 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougH 270 #3 June 2, 2020 I listened to the first 4 or 5 minutes. What is the complaint here? Clearly communicating all necessary information, clear jumpers away, providing updates about the location of parachutes in the air. Should he be more robotic, or is he missing a mandatory stick in his ass or something? I wouldn't mind hearing this on the radio, sounds like a good time. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riggerrob 615 #5 June 2, 2020 Not sure what the OP is complaining about. Yes, they sound a bit unprofessional. My only confusion is over no response to the transiting private airplane. Were both jump planes shut down when he flew over? The scary, un-professional, dangerous thing is when cross-country airplanes fly directly over a DZ without listening to the local radio frequency. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It sounds more like you are are the one peaking and are getting more crotchety as you are heading over the hill. We get it, you are a pilot, and this is very serious business.

FixFly 1 #8 June 2, 2020 I'm just sharing the link... thanks for noting that it is serious. Safety is everyone's business. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougH 270 #9 June 2, 2020 My apologies. I guess I thought you had a point to make when you posted after a 11 year hiatus, and you selected this particular link to break your silence, and you titled your post "Jump Pilots Behaving Badly". I should have known that you were making a completely neutral post, that is very clear to see now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
