Coached Jump Details

The purpose of this jump was to accomplish some of the items needed to achieve an A license.

I stood in the door with Dee and dove out a moment after her. I kept my normal position out the door, but kept my head turned to keep track of Dee. She was about 150' below and behind me once I levelled off. Now the fun part- I dove down to reach her. This took much longer than I anticipated. I think I waited a little too long in the door and she got lower than expected.

We docked successfully, then she alternated going above and below me by four feet and I would rise or fall to meet her and dock. These all went really well.

OOOOPS- My job was to initiate a break off at 6,000', turn, track away 150', and pull at 4,500'. I completely screwed this up. She ended up just tracking away from me around 5,500' so we could pull. Oh well, I guess I'll get that right NEXT time!
