Hi all, I just want to downsize to have smoother opening and to have less weight on my shoulders when running to the plane. I don't plan to do wingsuit, swooping or BASE jumping, I'm only a student and these things look so much dangerous to me. My only dream would be to do a high altitude jump but it has nothing to do with the canopy and it's still very a distant dream. Anyway, I'm now jumping in the same DZ where I did my AFF until I'm not a student anymore as it was advised by my instructor (even though it's far from where I live meaning less jumps per months) and I work all these downsizing stuff closely with my instructor.

My instructor now autorized me to fly a 240 so I'm happy. I doesn't change a lot (still can feel a little bit of difference) but I've been told I would be able to downsize after 15 more jumps

Thanks everyone, I understand better now

I don't even understand why I got a 265, I saw lot of posts of AFF students jump with a 240 and they weight around 82kg...

So I just completed my AFF and I'm trying to learn about canopy size. My AFF instructor provided me with a 265 but when I type my body weight on some online calculator (172lbs ≅ 78kg) it says I can jump with a 220 and it will not stall. What do you guys think about it; I'm really a beginner with 7 jumps right now? (I can't ask my AFF-I as I'm not jumping in the same DZ anymore)
