I disagree with the "always" cutting away. With a T-10, a green student is less likely to screw up a reserve depoloyment with deploying the reserve without a cutaway. The success of the Military with this method should indicate that this is true. I also believe that if the Main is either a PC-type parachute, or a ram-air, a cutaway is required. Some DZ's can afford the more advanced gear, but most are till using the old T-10s (or MC1-1B). Since most students are after a "high speed carnival ride", the training should be geared for a student making less than 5 jumps. I believe not cutting away is the best bet for when a T-10 canopy is used Al Gettier Teknekron Infoswitch ihnp4!infoswx!al convex!infoswx!al
