ez2bgman 0 #1 October 23, 2011 Man I'm so excited! I completed the ground school and my first AFF jump today. It was every bit as thrilling as my first Tandem. Knowing that I was in complete control was so exhilarating. The weather was absolutely perfect! After correcting a slow right turn after exit, I started my dive. Went through everything my instructor taught me and pulled at 5000'. End cells didn't inflate completely upon deployment, but a couple of tugs on the toggles and they filled beautifully. The canopy flew great. Left/right turns were smooth. I did a full flare at 3500' to check stability. Everything was great. Downwind approach was nice and clean. I made some minor corrections to stay on course due to the winds. Final approach was spot on. Flared at 10' and briefly touch my left knee on landing and was then able to walk out the rest of the landing. During my debrief, my instructor said that I had good awareness since I was able to correct my slow right turn after exit. I cannot wait to continue the rest of my AFF jumps. I just wish I would have gotten into this awesome sport 10 years ago. Feedom isn't free, but it's worth fighting for! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
