Eight jumps at the Escuela de Paracaidismo (SCIC) between August and December, from static line to the first solo belly freefall jumps.

Eight jumps at the Escuela de Paracaidismo (SCIC) between August and December. I started on August 29th, on static line — the aircraft opening the parachute for me on those first jumps — until the day came to let go of the line and freefall on my own for the first time, in belly position. Where it all began: the first time jumping out of a plane, and the first time doing it without anyone else opening the parachute for me.

Progression

  • Aug 29: two static line jumps from 3,500 ft.
  • Sep 25 and 26: static line and the first free jump (hop and pop from 5,500 ft, 5 s of freefall).
  • Nov 7: hop and pop from 5,500 ft.
  • Dec 4 and 18: hop and pop from 6,000 ft, with 8 s of freefall down to 4,000 ft.
