Is it square? Is it steerable? (Controllability check) Pull both toggles down together to release brakes 360o right 360o left Flare After deployment : After deployment Additional post-opening checks Altitude Check after opening Use altimeter throughout landing pattern Location Look around to find dropzone and landing area Rules of the air : Rules of the air Look before you turn Avoid head-on collision turn right Lower canopy has the right of way Reserve parachutes have the right of way Canopy Collisions : Canopy Collisions Avoiding collisions Keep head on a pivot Turn right to avoid another canopy If jumpers collide: Extend arms/legs to reduce entanglement Communicate intentions before acting If <1,000 ft and canopies are uncontrollable, both jumpers deploy reserves Steering the canopy : Steering the canopy Steering the canopy : Steering the canopy Flare Full flight to full arm extension This is a video Steering the canopy : Steering the canopy Turn right Pull down right toggle Turn left Pull down left toggle Smooth movements Steering the canopy : Steering the canopy Stall Toggles down to groin: hold This is a video Landing Priorities : Landing Priorities Landing Priorities 1. 2. 3.
