Cat C jump - later that same day

Quick ground briefing with Bob Mehl & Jamie Sides. I definitely felt like the cobwebs had been shaken off by the morning jump, so I expected this one to go better.

Again, 13,500 feet in the Porter PC-6.

Freefall:
- I kicked my feet on exit. Bob says they call it swimming. He told me a lot of students do it early in the jump before they really get into the wind. Something I will keep in my mind.
- Good Hotel Check, Exit Count, COA, PT, COA. Maintained excellent altitude awareness this time.
- My big problem on this dive was that my feet were spread out too far. Way out beyond shoulder width. Bob thinks this could be the main reason why I couldn't get into a good arch, and that I couldn't correct the left turn after Jamie released. This could be the huge insight I need to get through Category C.

Canopy:
- Good control.
- Did some higher speed turns and complete 360s each direction.
- Bob realized that I was probably going to overshoot the target, so he had me do a big right turn to burn off altitude without much ground position change.
- Flared on my own. Just as I was flaring, Bob started to tell me to flare, then cut himself off. Maybe I'm figuring out how high 12-15 feet really is. Hint - it's a hell of a lot lower than I thought.
