Yesterday I retook my AFF 2 for the third time and finally passed perfectly. After the jump my instructor told my my legs were extended too far during the whole jump even though both instructors gave me a thumps up. I guess they wanted me to fly forward, I don't know their reasoning but I maintained that body postilion. After opening I noticed I was over the high school a mile south of the DZ and when I spotted I was directly over the DZ.
I got on Google maps and calculated the distance and time traveled and calculated my forward speed during the jump at 50 MPH. Is it possible to achieve this much forward speed during free fall?
