What procedures should be followed for landing in high winds?

When landing in high winds, following the proper procedures is vital for safety. The correct course of action involves staying well downwind of any obstacles to avoid potential collisions. Facing into the wind early is crucial because it helps to stabilize your descent and allows for a more controlled landing. Disconnecting the Reserve Static Line (RSL) is a precautionary measure to ensure that if you do need to cut away during landing, you won't inadvertently deploy your reserve parachute.

Executing a Proper Landing Fall (PLF) is essential for reducing the risk of injury upon landing, especially in challenging conditions like strong winds. Pulling one toggle completely down, often referred to as "stalling" the canopy, can help in controlling your descent rate and stabilizing your approach. Finally, being prepared to cut away if necessary ensures you have a plan in case of an emergency.

This approach maximizes safety during a high-wind landing, ensuring that the parachutist remains aware of potential hazards and is prepared to execute necessary safety measures. The other options do not incorporate these critical safety considerations, leading to a higher risk of accidents.
