Once you have completed the Essential Skills Course you can continue to develop your skills with an additional day of instruction. Like the Essential Skills Course, the Advanced Course consists of five jumps with classroom training between each jump. Depending on your current skill level and goals, you will be able to focus on one of two different skill areas:
High-Performance Landings
This course focuses on the theory and skills needed to perform consistent, controlled high-speed landing approaches. Our goal in this course is to teach you how to gain maximum performance while minimizing the risks to yourself and others.
This course can help you avoid common mistakes and develop advanced skills more quickly than the traditional "trial and femur" method that many of us endured. If you are already practicing high-performance landings, we can help you refine your technique, make more consistent approaches, and get longer, more precise swoops.
It can take hundreds or even thousands of jumps to master advanced canopy piloting techniques, but an experienced coach can help you learn more quickly and get better results from the start. All Freedom of Flight canopy coaches are experienced swoop competitors and test jumpers who have flown a variety of canopy types and sizes.
Advanced Accuracy
Not interested in swooping? No problem! Spend a day improving your accuracy instead! Building on the skills developed in the Essential Skills Course, you will learn the techniques used to perform "stand-up" or "sport" accuracy landings. How small of a target do you want to hit? The only limit is your desire to learn.
