Clouds, Rain, Wind • It is illegal to fall through the clouds. If we do
accidentally fall through the clouds, STOP AND LOCK ON! If we come out with time to spare, continue the skydive as normal. If we reach pull time in the clouds, proceed with pull priorities.
• Avoid compensating for the “FEELING” of a turn.
• We will not jump in the rain
• We will not perform AFF students jumps in winds exceeding 16 MPH (30 minutes below, we start again)
