How to NOT Overshoot the Target

[@rainerharmse4790]

Brian, this was so insightful for me to hear, your tips I'll be trying tomorrow! Also.. "over shooting it.... how did we get here?" Love that, never had a bad landing but I always consider, how can I improve this. Thank you for your video.

Boy, I tell you that tip using Google maps to measure distance is fantastic and I am definitely going to use that! Thank you

[@Brian-Germain]

Right click, bottom of the menu, "measure distance".

I totally agree on the "don't tell students never to turn low, teach them how safely". I was at jump 30-something at zhills and the parachute started turning slightly to the right and im freaking out as I didn't know what to do besides wait for the ground. Well, I ended up landing on taxiway (safely fortunately) because I was afraid to correct my heading.

Ouch. I hope you avoided injury in attaining this insight.

[@davron12]

@@Brian-Germain Yeah, i was fine. I was lucky in that there wasn't an oncoming plane. But AFF-I's definitely need to teach making corrections instead of embedding the fear of death of making turns on final.

I am dealing with same issues. would you have any readings or videos on what are some safe corrections i can do in the final leg? especially when the wind changes aggressively and the into the wind approach becomes aggressively crosswind pushing the canopy to one side and likely towards obstacles

hello! Im a cat A skydiver from Brazil , and i was searching about content showing show to lean back on your container to increase the descent instead of using the front risers ! i think you can help me find that content!

[@Brian-Germain]

Leaning forward or backwards under canopy does not change the line trim at all. Any changes in this regard are based solely on the increase or decrease of drag. Putting more weight on the back half of the canopy requires actually reaching up and pulling the rear risers. Pulling on the fronts puts more load on the front half of the canopy. Does that make sense?
