➢ Mastery of evolutions around the 3 axes: forward loop, backward loop, barrel roll, turn.
➢ Effective track : moving forward in a controlled direction, without pitching, on a defined axis perpendicular to the dropping axis
➢ Identify and respect the perpendicular to the release axis when performing manoeuvres, especially the track.
➢ Knowing how to get out in front of the engine
To validate these exercises, there will be 1 video-monitored jump from the 22nd jump and a 1500 m jump with a motor face exit. (especially when you feel ready).
Take a direction perpendicular to the dropping axis, Gently open your arms out to the side, palms facing the floor, keeping your arms relax. Extend the legs and strengthen the position by gradually decambulating. The position should be tonic. You're effective if you can feel the air pressing against your shins.
Extend your 2 arms above your head, start the rotation dynamically with your pelvis, accompanying the movement with your shoulders, return to a flat position by opening your arms.
If you engage the rotation with the arms alone, the barrel will tend to move out of alignment.
Group your legs together and bring both knees above your head in a dynamic way, looking backwards. Re-calibrate, returning to the basic fall position as soon as the legs have passed overhead.
Keep your arms open as the axis of rotation.
Send your upper body forward dynamically to pass your head between your legs, bending your legs backwards so as not to slow down the rotation. Unfold your legs at the end of the rotation. Keep your arms open as the axis of rotation.
If you keep your legs long, you'll only do a half-loop!!!
Release pin - Objective: to avoid any risk of collision between a skydiver and a parachutist under canopy.
BEFORE GETTING ON THE AIRCRAFT: I know the release line
Before exiting the aircraft, I check the axis and take a visual on one of the wingtips of the aircraft = reference perpendicular to the dropping axis, for all exercises and in particular track jumps and free fly (backflip, sit...).
After opening: using the rear risers or immediately after launching with my controls, I orientate myself at 90° to the release axis, until the following parachutists open: in this way I avoid flying up the release axis with my canopy. Then I turn into the wind to reach the landing zone.
Searching for other sails: how many sails are up, what are they doing?
Different canopy categories/priorities: students, tandems, instructors and expert skydivers, others...
- Objective = to avoid any risk of collision under sail in the landing circuit
spot the sails at my level
- if I have a lower or equal sail category, I'll go upstairs:
- or upwards: I brake
- or downwards: I make a few alternating turns to descend faster as long as I'm above 500 m
if I have any doubts about landing (proximity of another glider), I can change zones (for example, land on the other side of the runway)
The exercises must be carried out :
Do not exercise in strong winds
Examples of briefed exercises:
➢ Working with the brakes ( 50% brakes, release)
➢ 360° turns on command (push-in)
➢ Back riser control (360°)
➢ Discovering the front risers (90°)
➢ Another example: playing with body weight in the harness
➢ Discovering the stall point
➢ Taking ground in PTS
To increase your ease of descent: perfect your position and drift to prepare for the B2, master the exit facing the engine (flight with 2 or more on the flat).
To increase your ease under canopy, improve your circuit and landing skills and improve your safety in flight and on landing.
Knowing and respecting your position perpendicular to the release axis is essential for your safety.
