It\nwasn\u2019t always that way, in fact in a previous existence I was relatively well\nknown as someone who would spend at least 40 seconds in free fall prior to even\nthinking about opening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started jumping before AFF and Tandem were even invented\nand was therefore used to low altitude jumps, that doesn\u2019t mean that I was good\nat them\u2026 My first few free falls &nbsp;\u2013 3\nsecond delays from 2,800 feet \u2013 were awful and scary. I opened unstable once\nwith my foot wrapped in the lines of my round canopy. It was only when a kind\nsoul put me on 10 second delays and I had a chance to really work out what free\nfall was all about, that it started to make sense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m guessing that is the problem; panic and a lack of true\nunderstanding and practise of what we need to do when we leave the plane and have\nto pull soon after exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">False perception<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I understand, we are way closer to the ground than normal\nand our perception is that we have less time to deal with everything. Wrong, you\nhave more time than usual. Think about it, if you\u2019re doing a hop \u2018n\u2019 pop from\n5,000 feet, you start accelerating at 32 feet per second, so in 5 seconds you\nhave travelled just over 400 feet, that puts you at 4,600ft. On a normal jump\nfrom 13,500 feet, as you pass through 5,000 feet you\u2019re travelling at terminal\nvelocity, so after 4 seconds you will be closer to 4,000 feet. That\u2019s the\nscience but that only goes part way to addressing the problem of why many\npeople are unstable on exit and pull in various attitudes, some of which can\ngive them a malfunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;I still relish the joy of hitting the relative wind in control&#8221;<\/p><cite>Pete Allum<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PETE-Allum-hop-n-pop-FI2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PETE-Allum-hop-n-pop-FI2-1.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PETE-Allum-hop-n-pop-FI2-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PETE-Allum-hop-n-pop-FI2-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PETE-Allum-hop-n-pop-FI2-1-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"http:\/\/flight-1.com\/\">Pete is using his whole body to fly the relative wind  \u2013 Image by Dani Roman<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do a hop \u2018n\u2019 pop?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some reasons for doing a hop \u2018n\u2019 pop<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>After AFF to get the license<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Canopy course<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Emergency exit<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Low cloud<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Demo jump <\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. After AFF to get the license<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understand the science and calm yourself down, remind\nyourself you have more time than usual. Practise the exit that you are going to\ndo at full altitude, and from the mock-up, a few times. Take a few breaths\nbefore and during exit and look at the aircraft as you leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Emergency exit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may be opening your main or reserve depending upon the\naltitude. You may have to do this as efficiently as possible or you may have\nsome time, depending upon the gravity of the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the case of a fast and low exit, just get through the\ndoor as smoothly as possible and do your best to present to the relative wind\nas you leave, if you have time, work on stability before pulling, if not PULL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The above two are not necessarily your choice, the rest are,\nso really learn how to do them properly and start to enjoy them. See a good\nexit as a vital skill that will increase your enjoyment of the jump, give you\nmore control and save heaps of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Canopy course<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As above but really work on the exit, this is your choice to\ndo a hop \u2018n\u2019 pop , you are going to do a few of them so you can really see some\nprogress and have someone film your exits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Low cloud<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As per number one but this is your choice, as you could ride\nthe aircraft down (but why would you when you get another chance to fly your\nparachute!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Demo jump <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(in my experience it\u2019s usually raining)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/loaded-and-ready-hop-n-pop-pete-FI.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20752\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/loaded-and-ready-hop-n-pop-pete-FI.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/loaded-and-ready-hop-n-pop-pete-FI-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/loaded-and-ready-hop-n-pop-pete-FI-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/loaded-and-ready-hop-n-pop-pete-FI-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"http:\/\/flight-1.com\/\">Remember to look back at the aircraft, like Pete in this photo<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/flight-1.com\/\">Image by Dani Roman<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting out of the aircraft stable should be one of the\nfirst skills that we learn in our sport, here are a few different ways to do\nit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Poised student exit, either standing or sitting in the door<\/li><li>Floating exit<\/li><li>Hop out of the plane and rotate into the relative wind (my preference)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>On all of the above you should be looking back at the<\/em><\/strong><em> aircraft as the tendency is to look down and this will definitely mess with your exit and stability.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/this-is-the-view-you-want-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/this-is-the-view-you-want-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/this-is-the-view-you-want-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/this-is-the-view-you-want-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/this-is-the-view-you-want-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/this-is-the-view-you-want.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"http:\/\/flight-1.com\/\">This is the view you want  \u2013 Image by Pete Allum<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dive exit (the heading will not be on line of flight)<\/li><li>More experienced and confident flyers may experiment with different axes, eg, head-up, head-down, side-flying, etc.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multiple hop \u2018n\u2019 pops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are planning a pass full of hop \u2018n\u2019 pops, take the\ntime to work out everyone\u2019s wing loading and from that the exit order with the\nhighest loading first\u2026 although take note, if someone has a poor or delayed\nopening that could shift you out of sequence, plan to get back into sequence or\nmaintain the new order.

First of all, practise on the ground from the mock up with someone\nthat knows, then if you have the opportunity, practise the exit at altitude in\norder to build confidence (get someone to video you).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Timing, how long to\ndelay for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should at least move away from the turbulence that is\ncreated by the aircraft. 2-3 seconds be fine, then you should feel enough\ncontrol to pull with stability and have sufficient speed for the pilot chute to\nwork. I recommend 5 \u2013 10 seconds for most occasions &#8211; when you have sufficient\naltitude, less can work just fine but be ready for a slower more staged\ndeployment. It\u2019s counter intuitive but a 5-second delay will see you under an\nopen canopy faster than a 2-second delay as you have more airspeed for deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Altitude (relative air density) will have an effect on the\nefficiency of your pilot chute and your opening, so if you are doing a\nhigh-pull, let\u2019s say over 8,000 feet, consider taking at least 6-10 seconds of\ndelay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are pulling whilst still in an upright position after exit, be aware that things are happening [deployment] \u2018behind you\u2019 relative to the horizon but in the correct place for the relative wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PETE-Allum-hop-n-pop-FI3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20793\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PETE-Allum-hop-n-pop-FI3.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PETE-Allum-hop-n-pop-FI3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PETE-Allum-hop-n-pop-FI3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PETE-Allum-hop-n-pop-FI3-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"http:\/\/flight-1.com\/\">Pete&#8217;s deployment will be behind him, not above, due to the relative wind<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/flight-1.com\/\">Image by Dani Roman<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Problems?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you throw out your pilot chute and end up towing it for\nsome time, maintain stability\/symmetry, slightly break at the hips and gently\nlook over your shoulder to see if you have a malfunction. If not be patient,\nyou may have pulled too quickly or have an incorrect or poorly maintained pilot\nchute BUT be ready to initiate emergency procedures with the correct timing and\nsequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unstable on exit?
