trip Melbourne day 4 / skydiving

It was a pretty relaxed day. I did B-rel 3 and B-rel 4 and afterwards I filled all the paperwork for my a-licence.

With B-rel 3 I had to get out of the plane unlinked and get stable in front of him. Then I had to turn 180 degrees and had to dock. And most importantly to look over my shoulder where he's at. And then back and turn the other way. At 5,500 ft I had to track towards the sea and deploy. My landing wasn't that good but it was a brand new canopy and it was a bit smaller so I had a lot more forward movement.

B-rel 4 I did a linked exit where I was outside the plane. It was not perfect but just okay. I had to do some left turns and dock every time differently wit a leg or an arm. When I finished my manoeuvres we did a spin together and flew away from each other. It was fun! When I tried to deploy my Parachute I grabbed wrong and had to grab a second time. Due that my Parachute was opened at 2500ft so pretty low. My landing was a lot better now but I have to flare earlyer to get more lift and an more soft landing.

In the end of the day we drunk some beers and chatted all about our jumps and other stuff.

There was one other guy who was doing his AFF. He was so crazy in a good way. He was fooling around and act like stupid, but he wasn't.

One student flew to far with his landing pattern and due the turbulence next to the building he slammed into the fence. He was really lucky he didn't hurt himself.Читать далее
