Would you recommend this for someone wanting to have a better grasp on landing patterns? I'm talking to my coaches and instructors, obviously, but I had an off landing (about 1/4 a mile) on my 5th jump and I honestly just kinda feel lost on what I'm doing for that leg of the skydive. I know this isn't 1:1 but if it can at all help with familiarizing myself with the process I'd pick it up in a heartbeat. No one at the DZ shamed me or made me feel stupid but I personally felt like I let myself down with that. Everyone was telling me that after I made the initial mistake I still made a good choice to find somewhere safe to land and put it down. I get that, I really do, but I just want some way of helping it click faster than 1-2 jumps a week.

Unfortunately man I don't think there's anything you can do but learn through experience. The wind is always going to be a factor and I don't know if you follow the 1000, 500, 250 ft rule for the L pattern? I think you'll want to talk to your instructors before you go up in the plane and they can identify maybe more accurately where your want to start your landing pattern but you've also got to learn to fly one of the legs a little bit longer if needed which comes from manipulating the parachute either through risers or using brakes

Would this be good for slight practice for landing patterns? I had an off landing yesterday jump#5 and i want SOME way of practicing my landing pattern aside from just doing it IRL. The only thing i don't enjoy about skydiving is that in order to practice, you have to not be practicing. You're actually doing it.

I read your book over and over and have pages that I always go back to. Buy the book people, it's cheap and there's tons of knowledge in there!

Are the single colored parachutes always reserves?.. I thought so, but then looking at this video made me doubt it? Sonce there were at least 2 people with single colored parachutes landing (13:42 though this one is darker yellow at front than back, so maybe this one is 2 colored. But 14:11 is all single color green) xD please someone confirm? Landing with reserve can't be so common???

@Brian-Germain 21 күн бұрын
Most parachutes are custom colors, so they can do whatever they want. Reserves are indeed a solid color, with very few exceptions.

@Brian-Germain
@Brian-Germain 21 күн бұрын
If you are referring to a "pull-out", they don't often experience horseshoe Malfunctions. As an out of sequence deployment, a pull-out can certain allow a line to get wrapped on some part of the jumper. Regardless, BOC throughout is the most common deployment system, and this method reduces the risks.
@philipsturtivant9385

@@Brian-Germain I never encountered a pin-pull (pullout) that was not positioned BOC. When I first joined the sport (40+ years ago) fans of throwaway pilot chutes derided the positioning of the pin-pull because It was out of sight of the user. Racer fans would respond by asking them if the needed to look at their ads when they were wiping it 😊 Throwaway pilot chutes were mounted on belly bands (which introduced risks) then on legstraps (same risks, different part of the anatomy), and after about a decade, there was a Ta-Daa moment, and BOC became the universal standard position for throwaway pilot chutes. But it still hasn't removed all the issues associated with throwaway pilot chutes. . . . . . . issues which are not present in a pin-pull system, IMHO.

Just started packing chutes for a local skydiving place to earn credit to get my first jump and then get my license. I was terrified the first few packs because (regardless of reserve) i feel like that chute is someone's life in my hands. After seeing those first few chutes open up and land someone safely from 10,000ft in the air. I'm less terrified. I still see it as a life in my hands, but it's a respect for the safety and less object horror of being responsible for someone's life. I got to go up in the plane they use to take up jumpers. (My first time up in a small plane) when the owner was jumping for the last time that day. Immediately after, i felt like my lifetime fear of heights was pushed out of my head. I went up repeating the litany against fear from the dune series in my head over and over and came down with my legs swinging out the door. I know I'll have fear when i step out for the first time to actually jump. But now i know that i can control that fear. The fear is gone. I'm the only thing left here.

“How do you not fall off the cliff? You look at the rocks” I love this. I hadn’t jumped in 3 rather turmoil filled weeks after my 20th jump, did my 21st yesterday evening and I’m starting to understand something similar to what you said in dealing with the emotional aspect of jumping. I get far more in my head when I’m in the plane thinking of every step of the entire process at once, putting pressure on myself to do everything right and at the perfect time etc etc, and being in a less than perfectly positive mood makes my nerves even more intense. Lately however I’ve started to just focus on whatever I’m immediately doing or what I’m right about to do and somehow it worked. In the plane I just breathe and think about the motion of my EPs, at the door it’s all about the door and presenting to the wind, and once I’m out everything is great and I do the same thing for everything that follows but without the nerves haha. Anyways you’ve been a huge part of helping me mentally as I go through my AFF journey, so thanks for sharing these videos

Canopy opens, you grab the toggles and set the brakes. You have a good canopy, then you loosen chest strap, and to do so do you let go of toggles, yes?
@Brian-Germain
@Brian-Germain Ай бұрын
There are three options. 1) Let go of your breaks and loosen the chest strap in full flight 2) Loosen your chest strap with your toggles still stowed, and if one or both toggles fail to unstow properly, retighten the chest strap before cutting away if there is time so do so, and 3) Unstow the toggles and keep them in your hands as you gently go to half breaks and loosen the chest strap with your toggles in your hand, trying to fly straight with balanced brake input. It's really up to you, as the pilot in command, to do what feels right to you,
