DrDom 0 #2 February 2, 2014 ThysgHi all. I just started with my aff and currently done only two jumps. I mess up my second jump after doing a perfect 1ste jump. I lost track of altitude and my arch was up to shit! what can i do to make sure i never loose track of altitude again? the arch i can work on but want to make sure i never loose track of altitude! just curious, did you talk to your instructors after the jump and did they have any advice? Your instructors are a wealth of knowledge and that should be used to your maximum advantage. Internet advice is free, and sometimes you get what you pay for.You are not the contents of your wallet.

Go on to the next jump -- obviously your instructors don't think you're really bad, because if they did, they'd suggest this wasn't the sport for you. Instead, they gave you information to try to improve your performance -- that means they think you're going to do it. NO ONE is perfect all the time; that goes for skydiving, too.

skyjumpenfool 2 #7 February 2, 2014 Altitude awareness is something we all need to work on, on every single jump we make. Sounds like you've learned a very valuable lesson. Good luck on your next jump. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
