The course starts on Monday morning at 9 in the office where you get through all administrative tasks. An instructor will welcome you to make you visit our facilities and also introduce to you all the staff members that will be with you during your course. The rest of the day is mostly dedicated to the theoretical formation prior to your first jump. Don't neglect this day since it is essential to a fast and safe progression. This formation will have you learn the technical bases of freefall, the parachute and canopy control.

The first jump: it usually takes place on the next morning, 2 instructors will jump with you to correct you immediately, you will discover new feelings once in the air, and under canopy.

Progression: the other jumps (usually 5) are all dedicated - the fun way - to get used to freefall in all positions and improve your canopy control with radio assistance. You then discover the infinite pleasure possibilities that freefall provides.
Important : All jumps are filmed by your instructor with a digital camera to make debriefings optimal.

First jump at Lapalisse

The end of the course: after one week, you will know enough about techniques and sensations to evolve by yourself. Still advised by your instructors, you will be able to perform routines in freefall, pilot your canopy and land it softly, but also to pack your parachute. You will then get the video DVD of your stage.
