Target Skysports is renowned
as a dropzone with a fast turnaround of
aircraft. For the Nationals weekends we will be
running out fleet of Dornier G92's (15 place
aircraft) and a backup aircraft SMG92 (10 place
aircraft). Last year we were dropping at a rate
of one load every 5 to 6 minutes, to do this you
can help us:
 |
Please
make sure you are ready to go before you
get on the bus which takes you to the
aircraft. This means kit checks and
booties! |
 |
When you
arrive at the emplaning point, please
get on the aircraft and sit down as
quickly as possible. If we shave 30
seconds of each load by taking off
faster, we will do extra loads
in the day. |
 |
When you
land, please gather your kit quickly and
get on the waiting bus. |
 |
If you are
a part of more than one team (team
players and videographers), please let
the dropzone know so that the correct
manifesting order can be worked out. |
 |
If one of
your team mates lands off or has a
malfunction, let DZ control know ASAP so
that they can be recovered and your
team's load number altered accordingly. |
 |
If you
plan to use packers, always keep them
informed and make sure they know what
timeframe your are working to. The
dropzone will always make sure you get
your mandatory minimum 40 minutes
between loads. But be warned there have
been many occasions when the gap between
jumps is actually 40 minutes. |
As much as the dropzone does not want this to
happen, if you are late for your bus, it will
not wait for you and your team will score a 0 for that
round. |
