200 Series

The 200 series provides essential skills we all need to have to skydive safely within our community. How should we use the canopy’s performance effectively in high-pressure situations? Learn how to react correctly using the low-speed and high-speed ranges of the wing. The series takes you through a program of exercises to deal with common situations. Controlling the low speed and high-speed range of the system is fundamental to moving into more specialized areas of canopy flight such as advanced accuracy and building airspeed. The 201 and 202 courses are essential to complete for all skydivers. The 203 course covers the introduction to high performance turns up to 90 degrees and beyond.

All pilots need to increase airspeed at some point to land safely. The first experience of this should never be in a high stress situation close to the ground! Whilst highlighting possible scenarios, the course provides essential knowledge including methods of building airspeed and how to avoid the pitfalls. For those interested in, or already doing high performance. The 202 is also a must if you intend to move into more advanced landings with the 203 course.
