clrarch 0 #27 July 3, 2003 For me the hardest was Level 6 when I had to track for the first time----I felt so wobbly and kept thinking "I suck at this!!!!". I became so obsessed with trying to track properly that I misread my instructor giving me the pull signal, lost altitude awareness for the first time, pulled low, and had to land off the dropzone. That jump scared the crap out of me---really scared the crap out of me because there were too many mistakes on my part and too many "firsts". I thought I was the black sheep of the dropzone for a while, but other jumpers and instructors were really supportive and just kept telling me "You can do it". It took me two weeks to work up the courage to get back in the air and repeat the jump. I nailed it the second time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blahr 0 #28 July 3, 2003 QuoteThis question goes out to everyone. In your opinion what is/was was the most difficult level of AFF for you to pass and why ? Edited by ColdDuck on 3/20/01 11:08 PM. The hardest level was that I did an IAD course cuz I couldnt afford AFF :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thebeev 0 #29 July 5, 2003 I'm an AFF student and 4 I had to repeat. That was the most nerv racking level. Now I'm at 6 (you suck fireflyer) just kidding catching up though PS I still haven't notice the beach99 yet on exit. Maybe when I do my freak exits I'll see it Medbill DME Billing Service Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riddler 0 #30 July 5, 2003 It all depends on you and your instructors. Some people are good at various parts of free-fall, others aren't as good. Some dropzones demand perfection (at the DZ I started, 95% of jumpers would fail at least one level), while others seem to crank students through with few failures. I've heard that levels 3 and 4 get the most failures - that's when they start letting go of you and you are expected to start flying on your own, but I don't know. Personally, I failed level 3 twice. Spinning problem due to bad leg symmetry. I went to the wind tunnel and had no problem after that - passed all my levels easily and quickly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
groovychic 0 #31 July 6, 2003 Cat C-2 was by far the hardest, but cat A was the scariest. On C-2 I was trying to fly with my head in my butt, so it took me three times to pass it. My hop n pop was also difficult for me, get ready to laugh, I couldn't figure out how to get out the door.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
