Hi all,
had my AFF2 today, managed the program except the left turn pretty well, still it made me feel I screwed up because of the left turn. At 6.000ft, as supposed, I gave the "no more work" head shake and watched my altimeter, supposed to wait until 5.100ft, then wave off and pull. So far, so good. Next thing I consciously realized is the index finger of my instructor stuck close to my face, and the needle of the altimeter approaching what I thought is 3.000ft (actually it was 3.600ft). I pulled immediately, the canopy ride was fine.
What kinda freaks me is that I'm totally missing 1.500ft of freefall, I've got no memory at all, and obviously I was stable but just not acting properly.
Of course I felt anxiety in the plane, but it was only approximately half compared to my first AFF jump. And I do feel time is rushing in freefall and I was so focussed on my tasks that I didn't see and notice much other stuff compared to when I was on my tandems.
So, what do you think? Sensory overload? Did anyone experience something similar? Do I have to be concerned about this?
