Fellow student question - there has been a lot of discussion about the amount of correction input on a landable canopy. In this case, shouldn't the canopy's inability to execute a proper flare have given him his answer? I really hope the OP learns from all the good folks here giving advice, and most importantly, his own instructors. Please don't shy away from returning and getting an earful from your S&TA. In particular, don't be afraid of a more drilling in the classroom and harness until those EPs are completely ingrained. From my own very brief experience in the sport, one of my instructors noticed that my reaction to a line-over in EP drills was always to try to work it out with riser/brake input, so he took the time to show me the spin that was likely to happen if I did that on a line-over a few cells in. He drilled that into me, so when I did get a line-over on lucky jump 13, I chopped immediately before trying to clear it, and only got a couple line twists in my reserve, instead of a real rough ride. Thanks, Greg.
