Fly to Survive is a 15-minute presentation which outlines the six major points every skydiver needs to know about canopy flight in today’s fast-paced skydiving environment:
- Get professional canopy training.
- Learn canopy skills with a parachute suitable for your skill level.
- Downsize gradually.
- Learn new canopy skills and landing techniques above 1,000 feet.
- Respect other jumpers under canopy and in the landing area.
- Plan the jump, jump the plan, and always have an out.
USPA interviewed the 2005 U.S. Canopy Piloting team—Ian Bobo, Clint Clawson, Shannon Pilcher, Jim Slaton and Jonathan Tagle—along with Kaz Sheekey, arguably one of the world’s top female canopy pilots, to learn their views on canopy training and education.
Learn how to approach canopy flight and why it is a good idea to focus more time and effort on canopy training and education.
