Level 'motherfucking' Five: [exit at 11,000 feet, perform maneuvers in 45 seconds]

Learn how to spot the drop zone before exit. Exit Plane. Stabilize. Altitude check. Initiate right 360 degree turn. Stop at heading. Altitude check. Initiate forward motion. Dock with instructor. Undock. Altitude check. Initiate left 360 degree turn. Stop at heading. Altitude check. Initiate forward motion. Dock with instructor. Undock. Altitude check. Wave off at 5000 feet and pull main chute. Learn how to land parachute with minimal assistance.

true that. but, it's like how you do flares. you've mastered it. how many 360 flares can you do in a second on the floor? 2 or 3.

i need to keep at it until i don't even have to think about the maneuvers. just react.
