From the Author
Parachuting/Skydiving is continuously growing & evolving.Dan Poynter and I have attempted to bring to you, the reader (novice or experienced), the latest information available which covers many aspects of the sport. It is our hope that this book will be used by you as a tool to increase your learning about the sport. We have addressed several training and controversial issues openly and honestly, attempting to give full merit to both (or more) viewpoints when more than one right answer is available. This book is a "living document" and will continue to change as the sport changes and grows. Each successive issue (from the very first one that I used to study the sport over 21 years ago) has been written with that philosophy in mind; one of continuous improvement.
We hope you like the book, and if you can think of anything else to add, please feel free to contact one of us with your suggestions!
Blue, Clear, and Calm Skies to y'all.
