Flight-1

-1 instructor Pete Allum shares his advice for jumpers with 200–300 jumps who are eager to learn how to swoop:

"The first thing I do is say, 'Do you know how fast your canopy can go on its own? What is the natural speed from your canopy? And are you doing that consistently? Let's do a 200 series course'"

Well, you heard the man 😉 check out our 200 series at the link below!

Perfection isn't the goal of the 100 Series - understanding your mechanics is. 🪂

"In regard to the flare... although it’s a slightly high flare, Stefan applied the principles we teach in the flare session in the Flight-1 course and absolutely nailed it."

A high flare happens. Flight-1 101 teaches you the correct flare ex*****on, introduces modern flight planning, and gives you the tools to accurately debrief your own landings.

For anyone convinced a different canopy will help with a better landing... this one is for you. 😉

Great canopy flying isn’t about what you fly. It’s about how well you fly it.

The canopies and wing loadings may have been different.
The standard was not. ⭐

🏆 Competition objective: Different canopies. Different wing loadings. Land at the same time.
