Hi, this is J.P. Furnari with Expert Village. In this clip we'll talk about how to properly exit the aircraft. When preparing to exit the aircraft, make a last minute check of your equipment, make sure all handles are in place and your parachute is properly closed. For a student exit: moving into a student position, checking with your instructor, and giving a proper count "up, down, arch" to ensure that your instructor and everybody skydiving with you knows when you're leaving the aircraft. When leaving the aircraft, a stable, arched body position will promote stability.
