MASTER CANOPY FLYING
An opportunity to fly a BASE parachute, designed to get your accuracy closer and your understanding higher!
Give yourself a headstart in this critical element of BASE jumping and join us for some hands on training in BASE specific canopy piloting techniques. You will discover everything there is to know about BASE canopies (and the rest of the gear!) with our LTBJ Instructors - all in the relatively safe and controlled skydive environment.
Even if you're not wanting to start BASE jumping this course will give you a greater understanding and skill set to apply to your skydiving skill set.
The BASEic Canopy Course often follow our BASEic Skills Course. This is the perfect combination, since the BASEic Canopy Course offers an extension to the canopy work you will touch upon during the BASEic Skills; so these courses can be combined into 4 days of invaluable pre-BASE BASEic training!

What Can I Expect?
This comprehensive course focuses on providing you with a solid foundation of BASE canopy specific knowledge. We will guide you through every jump, from planning to debrief, following our unique training program which has been designed to give you as much experience as possible before you enter the BASE environment. Practical training is supported by theory lessons, which focus on real life experiences to better illustrate and convey the course content.
You will leave with a much better idea of where to focus your training in the lead up to starting BASE jumping and greatly improve your canopy knowledge, accuracy and understanding.
