The theft of these items has effectively wiped out the owned student training parachuting equipment of the Newcastle Sport Parachute Club (un-insured) so any information heard by any members would be greatly appreciated. Please contact the club on (02) 4931 1040 or Kim Hardwick (Chief Instructor) on (02) 6672 1764.
Please pass this info on to anyone who you think can help, parachuting equipment is not cheap and any leads that may help us to recover these rigs would be fantastic. Also if anyone can offer support to NSPC please call them and let them know A.S.A.P. Thanks heaps!

Information wanted
I am looking for a all kind of information about skyboards WITHOUT pilot chute, and about the regulations and recommendations for it. I know that there are some places, but I need to know exact arguments to present them to those people who are working with aviation regulations in my home country Finland. Currently the pilot chute is compulsory in Finland on all kinds of skyboards. So, I have a few questions in mind:
- In which country is it possible to jump without the pilot chute on board?
- In which country is the pilot chute always compulsory?
- Is there any country without any limitations for the pilot chute in board?
- What are limitations of weight/surface area-ratio in case that there is no need to use
the pilot chute?
I appreciate your cooperation! Please contact me at kusti1@suomi24.fi.
Ahti Kangas, Finland
