I repeated the 4 way FS test this weekend and passed!! I was very aware of the fall rate and never went low. I can work on relaxing my body a bit more as my muscles are pretty sore today...This jump required a balance between aggression (or assertiveness if you like) and patience. Thanks again for the help!

Come visit South Africa. You tell us where you want to land and we shall drop you there. As long as you can run fast enough after landing!!

Thanks, appreciate the advice. I am already making the corrections in my mind.

I found myself failing a CAT III jump this weekend for 1 simple reason. I docked the 3 way while I was still moving slightly faster than them. This made me to 'hang' on and when I released I found myself sliding backwards... I seem to struggle slightly with slowing the fall rate. De-arch and drop the chin, yes (Difficult to drop your chin if you want to look up at a formation). Are there any advice/tips on how to approach a formation fast from the top and control that fall rate better?

Never thought fallen from a plane can get better and better, but it does! Done only 35 jumps now. Just finished SL progression and starting Intermediate skills. I have a (lets say moderate) fear of heights - I am jumping that away! I am proud to be part of this new community!
