I'm an AFF student who after breezing through Cat A and B came to a screeching halt at Cat C. I was unable to maintain a stable body position after release and began spinning, usually to the left. I spent endless hours on the table in front of the mirror keeping an eye on my legs- the cause of the problem.
On the third try I actually nailed it- for about 10-15 seconds I was in a rock solid arch keeping to my heading then I fell apart. Started spinning, waved off and pulled by 5000.
On the fourth try (the same day) I was already freaking out on the plane-not because I was scared to jump, I was scared of screwing up yet again.
Perfect exit and PRCPs, good altitude awareness, and stable arch for a good amount of time after release, then all hell broke loose. I started spinning and I tried too hard compensate which sent me tumbling. I pulled by 4500.
That freaked me out to no end. The first time in very short skydiving history I' m truly scared, I'm thinking about quitting and take up knitting or something more low key. My instructors tried to convince me that I did great but I did not exactly feel great about myself.
Any thoughts?
