Hi Matt. In most countries it's a safety regulation for skydive pilots to wear a parachute. We are flying with an open door, and in the worst case there could be a premature opening of a parachute that could wrap around the stabilator. This could lead to a loss of aircraft control, and has unfortunately happened before, causing a fatal accident where all the skydivers jumped and survived, but the pilot didn't because he wasn't wearing a parachute.

Did you ever practice jumping?

Watch some of the skydiving mishap videos and you see why the pilot needs a 'chute.

there is a video on some program where small planes have parachutes that save lives, i guess skydive pilots aren't as arrogant? As for me I want a parachute when I fly commercial....yo.

@@PilotBambi Every single plane ive ever jumped out of the pilot wears a parachute. Imo its a great idea.

Thanks for your kind message Michael!

Michael Younger totally agree. Cute too.

Bird dog Attebery agreed also

agreed yet it does not seem to hinder her profesionalisem

who wouldn't like a job like that... I mean seriously seems like an amazing life for a while at least.

because the door was open...

@@coldcoffee89 You know, as a pilot, I can't fight that logic.

Because you love boys fastened to you from their back, more than girls.

ROFL

I would keep flying with her just to keep chatting with her ;)

He who dies with the best photo album wins.

Thank you David! I'm so glad you made time to watch my video, it was lovely meeting you and B! Now time to start writing my book ;-)

David Butler I wouldn’t say an inspiration more of a representation

@@bigfatfish4148 I would say both I'm not a woman but she made me want to be a parachute pilot I seen this crazy guy in decent with a king air ,he was a parachute pilot so I find this video of her doing a similar decent I'm loving this part of aviation

SAVION WELLS I wasn’t really inspired by her she didn’t seem very inspiring

@@bigfatfish4148 we all love opinions

Love your sense of humor😂😂😂

"Wasn't that a nice smooth flight I gave you getting up here? Look at that view. ..... NOW GET OUT!" And then the throttle back and wingover turn to descend. "ADIOS, Suckers!"

Scott Phillips well, not a combat pilots dream, but I see what you mean hahah

Seriously. Really fortunate

Simpo dimpo

Haha I was so annoyed when she did that, but to each their own! I suppose it's not going to hurt anything.

Where there's muck there's brass.

@@KylewTyphewn yup I got annoyed as well😬

Hi I am in Florida as well. Can you please advise how much your PPL had cost?

This is so sweet, Start 'em young! I hope she see's that she can do anything!

A lot of prepping for this woman to do to do before.

You're a good dad.....encouraging. Every kid needs somebody in their corner, to shed some light, to open a door, to provide.....a possibility. Hope.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLePlNFzp5mxYHU.html heres a good video of what happens when females become f14 pilots!! Literally proves thst girls can do anything!

@@SOS-School_Of_Survival As a male pilot who's flown with many skilled female pilots, I encourage you to look at how the majority of plane crash videos are with male pilots at the controls. Literally shows that guys can do anything!

i thought that was hilarious lol

You’d be amazed how many parts on these one prop planes are held on by a few pins

I'm lucky enough my company lets us wear shorts in the summer. Twin Otters aren't made for the heat -_-

I dont think you have the figure or the legs to dress like this Andrew.

HondaGoldwingGL1800 Hahah yes you’re 100% right about that!😂

Congrats!

Thankyou Ken!

Those yellow shorts don't hurt either!

for sure is Vincent!

@@PilotBambido you have an faa license?

@@willturna9578 negative, only EASA and ICAO SACAA (South African PPL)

@@PilotBambi okay thanks, do you know if FAA license is used in the Caribbean?

@@PilotBambi I love your videos by the way. Keep them coming!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!

I think she’s actually South African, but might be wrong

@@Bennevisie which in 99% of people means they are dutch...... There isn't a "south african" ethnicity of white people......

@@nmnmnm35 Utter nonsense, racist troll.

@@Bennevisie She's Dutch as she said she needed a Visa to work in South Africa. Also her accent isnt South African.

@@conanmclynn6615 Yep, I think you are right.

It's the best part! Those jumpers don't know what they're missing... :-)

Just out of curiousity, why the steep/emergency descent after passenger release?

will crist to save operations cost. Not making money at that point so get it on the ground as quick as possible.

@@danieltilton4133 thats funny lol

@@willcrist6580 I would also like to know?

Thankyou!

as a student, i wonder what led to that position.

Try it if you get the opportunity, very cool.

DENNIS CAHILL i was thinking of becoming A CFII for hours

I worked as a pilot for a drop zone last summer, it was a great experience and I would build 5-6 hours a day weekdays and 8-10 hours a day on weekends. It's a lot of up and down work and your ears get kind of fatigued by drop 15 or so and it takes about a week to adjust (we'd do 10,000ft drops, up to 20 times a day in a 182). However, it was so much fun! You need to be careful to find a safe drop zone and knowing a thing or two about maintenance would be beneficial, just for determining if an airplane is safe or not, because most look a lot worse than this one does. Also, find a place that doesn't try to make you do stupid stuff in the airplane. My zone limited our bank to 30 degrees and I was told not to ever try racing jumpers down, and honestly, there's no need, a 30 degree bank with about 16" map in gives you 1,500 - 1,700fpm descent without shock cooling and you pull up front just as the next set is getting ready to go. Tons of fun and a great experience, just be picky in who you work for and don't let the boss push you to do something unsafe.

@@matthewjohnson2428 WOW!! Thanks for the info! Thats not bad hours considering becoming a CFII is way harder due to knowledge retention. But that sounds fun and easy, i love flying a c172! I dont enjoy the fact of overloading my ears going up and down, not to familiar with that. But it seems simple, just getting to know ur landing limitations etc.

facts lmaoo

Same here :D

Thank you! I'm so grateful that I get to see Anguilla from the sky each day, it looks beautiful. We have to file flight plans due to the high level of traffic in the area (INTL traffic, island commuters, narrow corridors, etc) and it's required to coordinate our flights with Princess Juliana Airport. A bit of a hassle to call them before each flight, but safety is key!

@@PilotBambi Yeah, I listen to Juliana approach and watch the PJM webcam on the internet, I hear all the traffic and I occasionally here the jump plane - it must be you! Safe flying!

Thirsty huh

Glad to hear this!

@@PilotBambi He's not the only one. Subscribed!

That's a hell of a way to live. Definitely hope to be there some day.

I’m from Honduras. Unless you move to roatan, don’t even think about it. Horribly dangerous.

Thankyou Maurice, will work on the sound levels in the next video!

Come down for a touch-and-go on runway 69R baby.

Perfect comment, perfect answer. Well done boys made me laugh

😂

I was thinking exactly the same thing!

Only the commercial computer hawk drivers, cessna and cub pilots are salt of the earth people.

Xd

It really is paradise..

I'll make an introduction video very soon!
