QuoteI flew the canopy, did rear riser turns, a stall, and released the brakes. I was so concerned about flying a "proper" pattern, that I ran out of altitude to make the X. I should have flown straight toward my touchdown point, and flopped the pattern around. I would have made it then.
Don't feel bad, I was so busy trying to hit the X (which I completely missed) I blew the pattern and screwed the guys under canopy behind me. And I have 22 jumps!! Doh!
CONGRATS and good luck on your next jumps.
Darcy,
Doug is excellent. He has around 13,000 jumps but treated me like I was his first student. Have a great time this weekend!
