Description: It appears this IAD static line student exitted unstably, and got horseshoed with the main. She "waited too long" to deploy her reserve. Evidence indicates this is a fly-by-night DZ, which is no longer in business. The gear was very old and in a state of disrepair. She did not have an altimeter. The JM is not returning phone calls, and may not have been rated in the first place. | ||||||||
Lessons:There is no excuse for training students without an AAD and well-maintained gear. | ||||||||
