    The subject pretty much says it all. Your first truly solo piloting job of your chute did you stand it up? What size shoot were you flying at the time? Spooky

    Wow! Sorry, I just got back from flying DC-10 sim and I saw all these responses. Thank you all very much for all of your help. I will definitely pick up all of those books that were recommended. With this being my first post I would really like to thank you all for making me feel welcomed and just the acceptance that I've seen. I hope the rest of this sport is like this forum. Spooky

    I ask because I'm looking to go into AFF in the spring. I'm a 26yr old ATP ... yadda yadda yadda. I was just wondering for those in the know if having any knowledge of aerodynamics and wing loading helps. Or is it more just like learning to land kind of a "feel" type thing. Second part When coming in on approach for landing do you try to look for the same type of optical perspective that you might get from a small prop job? Could you relate flaring a small plane to flaring a parafoil? Also (sorry) For a beginner looking to start in the spring (who lives in the midwest *No wind tunnels*), what can I do to prepare. I don't care if it means buying video's or treking to the carolinas to get some tunnel time or whatever, but I just really would like my first few jumps to feel effective, like i've prepped addequately for them. Thanks Spooky
