Basic Canopy Progression Course

Provides classroom instruction on basic aerodynamics, canopy design, wing loadings and flight characteristics to help new jumpers find the best canopy for their progression in the sport. Learn to find a canopy's full range of control and the proper use of all control inputs; where to fit into the traffic pattern and how to read the wind conditions to improve your set up, approach, and flare timing.
Students will do three jumps from 4,500 feet focusing on a flight plan to your holding area, then learning the canopy's stall points and control range.
Students will learn to fly the proper pattern to arrive on final approach at a safe altitude, which allows time to focus on your landing area and flare timing. Other jumps will focus on learning the use of all your canopy's control inputs and how to use them to improve set up and accuracy. Learn flare timing techniques to improve landings.
