Toilet paper maneuvers
Heard that one can drop a roll out the window, apparently it will fall down like a long streamer. The goal here is to fly by and slice it with your wing as many times as possible. I thought it sounded a bit strange, but makes sense too..
Anyone hear of this?

Its actually a rather fun game. Just make sure to give your self a floor that you will not descend below. Grab the loose end and throw the roll end out... Let it roll away. Use a low power setting for that part.

Great. I can just see the CYYJ ATIS warning for the Duncan practice area -> "Be advised streaming toliet paper seen in CYA118 and CYA135 airspace from 6000ft to 1000ft"

Re: Toilet paper maneuvers
Why waste good TP. One should use it for what its intended for prior to throwing out of an aircraft. Be sure to double up on them chimichanga's with extra Franks red hot.
Re: Toilet paper maneuvers
Saw it done years ago near Pit Meadows... looks pretty cool from the ground the stream shows up well.
On that note, imagine the guy who crashes while trying this and the kind of thread it would generate on this forum.

602.23 No person shall create a hazard to persons or property on the surface by dropping an object from an aircraft in flight.
However, I 'bend' this one quite regularly while dispersing creamates, dropping adding machine tape (to mark forest fires), apple cores and banana peels, barf bags (full ones make me sick), and the occasional flour bomb.

Re: Toilet paper maneuvers
I wonder if you got one of them huge stadium style rolls how long a line it would make, lol have to tag team it with a wingman!
Re: Toilet paper maneuvers
What defines a hazard really? Is toilet paper hazardous... doesn't seem like it. Could be seen as polluting though?
Re: Toilet paper maneuvers
That's very subjective.What defines a hazard really?
For the legal definition, you need to contact the Tribunal
and ask them for precedents in respect of CAR 602.23.
Transport may or may not pay any attention to the
legal precedents, depending upon whether or not it
supports their objectives in any particular circumstances.

Re: Toilet paper maneuvers
Some CARs for Dummies books translate 602.23 as: "don't drop objects that will create a hazard."
However, more accurately it is: "Do not create a hazard by dropping anything from an aircraft."
It is written this way specifically so that they have precedent to lay charges should something most people wouldn't think as hazardous be dropped from an aircraft.
Try dropping some 'harmless" anti-government leaflets over Parliament Hill. I'm sure you would never be allowed to fly in Canada again.

Re: Toilet paper maneuvers
I had the big lens for the camera so this is about as good of a shot as we could get.
I HIGHLY recommend it!

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you!
