"Hi, this is J.P. Furnari with Expert Village. In this clip, we'll talk about how to enter the plane correctly. When approaching a skydiving aircraft, one wants to stay well away from the propeller. We always walk around the tail of the aircraft ensuring that we won't be struck by a propeller. Walking around the tail of the aircraft we'll cross to the other side. Approaching the door-in ladder. Climb in and quickly move towards the front of the aircraft letting other skydivers load after you and ensuring all the weight is forward in the aircraft. Once inside the aircraft, sit down. Strap a seatbelt to your harness, ensuring that you are properly restrained according to FAA standards."
