  1. I had that fear right uptil 300 jumps. My logic always dictated that even though I was wearing a rig, exiting the plane and falling out of it were two very different things. I gained my confidence on my time. No one hurried me to the door or ever played silly buggers if I was sitting at the door. I am a Jump Master now and have no problem leaning out of the door while I assist in dispatching a student. I will never forget when I was still a progression student we had to open the Porter door at an altitude below mine for another student to exit, tonto was sitting in the dog box (area at the back of the porter where there was no seat.) he slid up and pulled me towards him so that the open door was behind me. I will never forget that moment. Anyway take your time and slowly get used to being near the door.
