Welcome to Sky Science - Skydiving

This is where two or more people exit the aircraft (approx 7000 ft) and deploy their parachutes straight away to then link up under fully deployed canopies. Every formation completed we call a point and the aim is to get as many points as possible before braking off at a safe altitude (usually 1000 ft).

The training to be provided by an experienced CF Coach is designed to give you a good level of skill to work relative with someone else, the aims of a CF course is shown in the bullet points below. However as always in skydiving we don’t just provide you with the necessary skills to do it, we will also teach you how to be safe while doing it. So the jumps also provide you with a full safety brief before hand.

Canopy Formations (CF)

• Approach a target canopy.

• Control 3D movement, in relation to other canopies (up, down, forwards, backwards and sideslip).

• Achieve ‘docking’ techniques.

• Pilot a 4-stack/plane.

• Dock 4th on a 4-stack/plane.

• Spot for CF from at least 8,000 ft AGL.
