Today's Action

Keith came along again today and did his AFF levels 2 and 3. Last Sunday he did ground school and level 1. He's passed all three with flying colors, so he's already doing better than I did!

I got three jumps in today. They went pretty well, with a couple minor issues..

I had some pretty rough line twists on the first jump of the day from a rather hard opening, and ended up with a closed end cell on the last jump of the day. Here's a sample pic of an end cell closure:Two minor malfunctions in a three jump day! Not bad. :-0

Seriously, I happened to review all the malfuntion procedures three times during the week, so I was very confident in handling them as they came up.

The line twists were pretty bad compared to what I've seen previously, but the canopy flew straight so it wasn't a big deal. A few kicks and I was out of them. Here's a sample picture of line twists: The end cell closure was really minor and popped open immediately with some input on the left steering toggle. This was my first end cell closure.
