Slide 1: 

Freefall Body Position

Freefall Body Position : 

Freefall Body Position Relative Wind Wind created by your movement through the air Exit: comes from ahead Freefall: comes from below Falling belly-to-earth is most stable body position and the best position for deployment

Freefall Body Position : 

Freefall Body Position Three control surfaces Torso Legs Arms

Freefall Body Position : 

Freefall Body Position 1. Torso Hips forward, back arched Symmetry Chin up Relax: breathe!

Freefall body position : 

Freefall body position 2. Legs Knees shoulder width apart Knees bent 45o, toes pointed Knees above pelvis Keep positive pressure on relative wind

Freefall body position : 

Freefall body position 3. Arms Upper arms 90o from torso Elbows bent 90o Hands relaxed

Slide 7: 

AFF Dive Flow

AFF Dive Flow : 

AFF Dive Flow Door setup/Hotel check Exit Circle of awareness (COA) Practice pilot chute touches (PPT) x3 Second COA Short COAs until 6,000 ft Deployment

Aircraft exit procedures : 

Aircraft exit procedures Final confirmation from inside instructor “Are you ready to skydive?” “Take all your commands from ___”

Aircraft exit procedures : 

Aircraft exit procedures Assume good door position (verbalize) Right hand: inside door Right foot: toe and knee just outside door Left hand: outside door Left foot: foot Head/shoulder outside Pelvis forward

Aircraft exit procedures : 

Aircraft exit procedures Exit (verbalize) Up: Extend legs in upward motion Down: Lower body, slight squat Arch: Step off plane Arms in neutral position Legs extended

Circle of awareness : 

Circle of awareness Heading Focus ahead on ground object that is not moving Altimeter Read altimeter Instructor left Report altitude to instructor Corrective hand signals Thumbs up ? move on Instructor right Report altitude Corrective hand signals Thumbs up ? continue skydive

Practice pilot chute touches : 

Practice pilot chute touches Arch Relax, pelvis down Reach Reach back with right hand towards pilot chute Move left hand in front of head to maintain symmetry Touch Place hand on pilot chute Repeat for a total of 3 PPTs

Second and short COAs : 

Second and short COAs Second COA Short COAs Remainder of dive until 6,000 ft Heading Altimeter Look for hand signals from instructors Dive flow practice session
