Airborne you have gotten a lot of good advice from everyone here but I just wanted to cover a few things I don’t think were covered.
(1) “Having skipped my B license”
You do not have to obtain the B license but you do have to complete all of the requirements of the B license before moving on to your C license which effective 1/1/12 includes completion of the canopy piloting proficiency card
(2) “looked at the requirements and saw I had to make 25 landings within 10 meters”
The accuracy requirement for C license is within 2 meters of target on 25 jumps 10 meters is the B license requirement but only on 10 jumps
(3) “I can do S turns if there’s no traffic and land pretty close to where I want”
There is a reason they call it accuracy and there is a reason why you will notice the same people at the drop zone landing at almost the exact same location on every jump no matter which direction everyone is landing and no matter what the conditions of the day are…If you require an S turn or any large readjustment (mainly I am talking about when on final) in order to land on target then you were not accurate …Don’t cheat yourself and fall into the trap of just trying to get the signature and never truly learning the material or the skill
