Lock your gaze onto altimeter (“Lock On!”)

Anticipate 5,500 feet

5,500 Ft - Wave-off & pull

Wave once under the chin

Arch, reach, grab, throw (with stability)

Count 1-thousand through 3-thousand

Pull Priorities You need to know these

1. Pull!

Get a parachute out!

2. Pull on time!

Get a parachute out, at 5,500 feet after wave-off!

3. Pull on time with stability

Get a parachute out, at 5,500 feet after wave-off, while relaxed arching and legs out! Avoid going back!

Pull Priorities

Never sacrifice a top priority for a lower

priority

Risk Assessment Review Education

Practice for Perfection

Positive Self-Talk

Positive and Perfect Visualization

Break Into Small Tasks

Focus on Breathing

Control Brain = Body = Actions

Control Body = Brain = Actions

Canopy Control Initial Evaluation

Count to 3 Slowly for Deployment

Check # 1 - Check the parachute

Is it there? (Looking up or over your shoulder)

Is it square?

Can I control it (Controllability Check)

Complete Flare

Turn Left 360 degrees

Turn Right 360 degrees

Pull Down Right/Left

Pull Down Both

Smooth Movements

Canopy Control Controls

When you turn the parachute, the parachute dives proportionally to the degree of turn!

Canopy Control Control Speed Locations

Full Flight - Hands all of the way up

# 0 = Quarter Brakes - Hands at eye level

# 1 = Half Brakes - Hands at shoulders

# 2 = Three Quarters Brakes - Hands at belly button

# 3 = Full Flare - Arms locked at elbows and straight down, hands in groin

This is the “Flare!” you will hear on the radio for landing

Canopy Control Post Opening Evaluation

Check # 2 - Where are you

Check your altitude

Check # 3 - Where do you need to go

Where is the Drop Zone? (look and follow)

Where do you want to land?

Can you go anywhere?

How can you get there?

Wind Scenarios

No Wind

High Wind

Too Much Wind

Canopy Control Getting to the LZ

To Assist in Canopy Control and Landing

Only a Back-up

Does not Relieve you of Your Responsibility

Small gap between your deployment and first contact

Called by name

EVERYONE on different radios but listen for your name

Canopy Control 2-Way Radio

Canopy Control Rules of the Air

To Avoid Others;

Look Everywhere

Look Before you Turn

Turn Right to Avoid Others

Lower Canopy has Right of Way

Reserve has Right of Way

Canopy Control Rules of the Air

Below 1,000 Feet, do NOT Subtract Silk, but you CAN add Silk

Hands and Feet Protect Your Head

Upon a Wrap, Communicate Between Jumpers

If You Collide 3 Legs to the Landing Pattern

Downwind

Base

Final

Makes us Predictable

Can be Complete Right or Left

Canopy Control The Landing Pattern

Landing Priorities You need to know these

1. Land with a Level Wing

2. Land in a Clear and Open Area

3. Flare and PLF (Parachute Landing Fall)

5/24/2018

Canopy Control Landing

No Radical Turns Under 250 Feet

Minor Correction to # 0 are OK

Try to be Faced Into the Wind by 250 Feet

Canopy Control Landing

Hands all of the way up

Feet and Knees Together

Everything Bent Ready for Landing

Canopy Control Flaring

Canopy Control Landing

Flare the Canopy at 15 feet in light wind

Flare the canopy at 10 feet in high wind

The purpose of the flare is to convert forward speed to lift and stop the decent

The Instructor will say “Flare!”

5/24/2018

Canopy Control Stall

If you flare too high, go back to #2 and wait for 5 feet then finish the flare and PLF very well!

ALWAYS Target the PLF

Balls of Feet

Calf

Thigh

Glutes

Shoulders

Canopy Control Landing

PLF Post Landing

Collapse and control canopy

Unsnap helmet but leave it on

Loosen leg straps

Daisy chain the canopy

WATCH FOR TRAFFIC as you cross the runway to return to the hanger
