@milesmanson1 Your instructors will teach you that. If not, just ask them. I was taught to start my flare at about 10 feet off the ground and then going to full flare when you are about 2-3 feet off the ground. If you start too early, just be sure to hold your flare.

nice job! Did you stand up the landing? I couldn't see from the camera zoom (or lack of...)

Thanks. I didn't land standing up. For the AFF Level 1, they teach you to do a Parachute Landing Fall (PLF), in which you roll when you land. You can't see the roll in the video.
