Snowflake 0 #27 January 25, 2002 my sequence was out in arch exit the plane stand straight up and run as fast as i could for a few seconds then flip to stable (I actually didn't stop the running man thing till around #40). The debrief always started like this JM "tell me about the dive" Me "well I exited standing straight up and.." JM "...and then you were of to the races....where exactly did you think you were running to?" this question was usually followed by laughing by anyone that was around to hear the debrief. Oh the joys of AFFJG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebazz1 2 #28 January 25, 2002 In Reply: Are you suggesting that the most important part of skydiving is the freefall.I don't think I suggested this. What I was trying to say is that the actual freefall time a student has is minimal so you have to make the most of it, and you want it to be successful. One way of doing that is starting off the skydive correctly by assuming the position in the door and having a proper count. I have seen the exit make a difference in many AFF dives in terms of actual learning.This is just some advice for a student preparing for the AFF. Skydiving is a combination of freefall, deployement of a parachute and canopy control acheiving a safe landing.Peace.Sebazz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
