Revised
March 31, 2004
The USHGA and Dave Broyles, USHGA Safety and Training Chairman have delegated
Dutcher Stirling the task of modifying the BHPA
Chute Deployment Clinic Manaul, as proposed by Betty Pfeiffer... leading,
we hope, to not just USHGA, but world wide Chute Deployment Clinic Standards,
Grandfathering of clinic instructors and appointments of new clinic instructors.
So by this time next year, "Betty's" clinic could be even better!!! Imagine!

From Betty Pfeffer log in for email link
Thank you for considering me for
your parachute clinic.
Below is a quick outline of what
I cover. The clinic usually is a 1.5 day event with
a) the first day being nuts
and bolts and
b) the second day covering
more of the technical issues.
It is better to focus either on HG
or PG since each sport has it's own unique situations
- i.e. in HG we have 5 levels
of decision making whereas in PG there are 13!
Let me know what you think and about
how many pilots to expect. If you want to cover HG and PG on the
same day Bill Gargano and I work well together. Bill designed the Quantum
Series parachute and is considered a leading parachute designer in the
country.
Thanks again, Betty
PS We only charge transportation
and accommodation costs. We do repack the chutes and/or help your
local packers. |
