As a past sky diver driver, I used to dump them at 7200 out of a
Cessna 182, and touch down the same time they did. The process I
used was to first close the cowl flaps, close the throttle to 15" of
mp.and roll into a steep bank. I didn't spin but I did have a tight
spiral and typically saw the VSI go to numbers like 8,000fpm.


You had a VSI in a 182 that read up to 8000?


Must be a 182 SP
