            After checking all your equipment it is good to check in with the instructor letting them know that you already to start continuing where you ever left off at. Looking at the wind direction, clouds, wind speeds to base on where you are going to fly and land in the field is all a number of points in a having a good skydive.

How you are going to exit the plane with the instructor, what you are going to do in order, and remember to just have fun. Plane levels out at 14,000 feet and the door slides open. It is time to take a deep breath and walk to the door and wait your turn to jump.

            Green light turns on and the skies are clear and now you are in your free fall. Trying to remember what all you need to do during the  free fall that your instructor has told you. Looking at your altimeter it gets to 5,500 feet, now it is time to wave off and pull the rip cord for a safe ride back home.
