bendywendy 0 #1 September 15, 2004 Finally!!! Just got it in the mail! We'll have a registration form up on our website soon and additional info. It's been very hard to plan since every time you turn around they've evacuated the keys this season. And looking at weather it doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon!

There is a good sized area to land in but next to no outs whatsoever! It's pretty amazing from the air to look down and see this narrow little island that you are landing on but because of this you really need to be accurate with your landings. We used to make it a C license with a minimum of 200 jumps but since they raised the requirements for a C we don't have to make that specification anymore. Sorry, get out and make those jumps - you've got plenty of time!!

I actually took the class many months ago. I think my biggest problem is currency (3 month layoff then ~20 jumps over the next 3 months), and the fact that the last few times I've jumped at DeLand the winds were varying like crazy which makes it hard to nail a target. Saturday I aimed for the small peas (I'm estimating 4m diameter, so perfect for C license) on 5 jumps in a row. I only hit them on one, on the rest I was anywhere from 5-25m away, it was just so hard to be consistent with the wind varying from almost nothing to close to 20mph on subsequent jumps. :( It was also a LOT of fun when a gust shut down some of my end cells at 40ft or so, which reopened just in time for a flare. It also doesn't help that before my injury/layoff I was jumping a different DZ every weekend so I never had a familiar pattern / sight picture.
