that really is a loaded question that may very well bring less-than-positive results. I'd be shocked if it receives a direct, here-ya-go response.

if you want to increase your odds of getting assistance, please consider introducing yourself. tell users who you are, why you are interested, etc. make them feel comfortable with you. let them feel like you can use the knowledge safely.

the unprepared have died at many sites. how does anyone know that you will not be the next one?

Hi

You are more than right. I appologies for my impatience. I (we)'ve done 300 Skydives before getting into a FJC. My current experience level is 85 bridges (from 85m to 270m), 21 cliffs (from 100m to 450m), 5 or 6 jumps from paragliders (I'm a paragliding pilot), 1 dam and no antena. I just started to improve my tracking skills with a tracking suit. I still feel not very ready to jump spots which go positiv what's going to chance soon. I will be around the mentioned area and will bring my rig. I heard about a handful spots which I will be able to jump to this time, but want to check if there is more. I'm already contacting locals. That's why this question.

I'm aware of the risk in the sport and I'm not dealing careless with it at all.
