AFF Training Level 3 (Repeated)- "You've got this"


I was out of town last weekend, so no jumps. I've been getting the shakes for a few days and need to feed the addiction.

This jump felt really good. Dee went over the jump with me a couple of times. Ian and her were great at getting my confidence level back up.

Everything started great with a couple hand signals for minor corrections. They released me and I did really well at keeping my heading. I got a little shaky once or twice but straightened it right out by relaxing. I did so well that I thought they were holding me steady. Ian told me afterwards that I fell solo for 25 seconds!

They redocked for my pull. I forgot to wave off and ended up reaching for the chute a second time a little panicked. It worked out fine.

I flew the canopy great, and really started to enjoy it. My landing pattern was good, but a rather high flare and I ended up rolling around a little bit on the landing.

Overall I couldn't have expected better and am excited for another jump today!
