Repeat Level IV

Jump Number: REPEAT AFF Level IV Jump Master: Brett Carroll

Date:2/7/98 Location: Salado, TX Aircraft: KingAir Equipment: Laser 9 Altitude:14,500 Delay:63
Good exit. Relaxation was much better this time. JM gave legs signal during Altimeter check at 14,000. Released did good right 90@ turn and good redock. JM gave leg signals again. Released and did 90@ left and went additional 360@ and then stopped on own. JM gave heel click signal. Good response. Started a slow left turn 180@. During turn waved off and pulled, but pulled at proper altitude. Flared at 25ft., reminded about proper height to flare. Go to Level V!! BP

This has been my best jump, but worst landing. Flared way too early. Paid for it too, bruised my tail bone big time!! But I was still smiling! Blue skies and Level V!! LP
