Wow! 80 seems so slow. How much do you weigh without your weight belt and how long would it take you to reach that fall rate once you initiate the track?

Thanks for your help, I will talk to the instructors.

I wouldn't say I'm either a bowling ball or broom stick but have an average belly fall rate of 127ish (per the pro track). I did make it back to my holding area just above 1k using some rear risers and partial breaks. The reason I stopped tracking when I did was because of how my distance from the dz. Thanks for pointing the safety issue out for those that don't know but for the record, I did track perpendicular to the jump run. When I checked my spot I also check the jump run direction.

Hi Skydiving community, I am relatively new to the sport with only 92 jumps. Recently I wanted to work on flat tracking and did one solo jump where I tracked from 13k to about 6k in one direction. Then from 6k till 4k I stayed in a stable belly to earth position and waved/pulled at 4k. This is what my pro track (mounted inside my helmet) said for fall rate... 1st half average-106 2nd half average-117 average for jump-112 max-123. Now for my questions - What is a good flat track fall rate? Are my numbers even close to what I should be achieving in a flat track? Any tips on how to slow my fall rate even more? Thanks, Ken Edited to add that I tried this wearing a freefly suit with no booties.
