The training includes a program of 7 jumps at 4000ft (1200m).
One day of training, then the 1st jump can be done on the same day. You will then be able to pilot your sail for 8 minutes, the time to return to dry land.
You will be guided by radio from the ground by an instructor.
Learning how to fold the parachute will be done during the training.
The 7 training jumps are filmed from the plane by the instructor and viewed after the jump with the student for the debriefing.
The first 3 jumps consist of a simple “School” outing from the plane. The main wing is deployed automatically by the monitor from the aircraft.
The student will experience approximately three seconds of free fall before the parachute opens automatically.
The student then performs 4 additional PAM jumps where he demonstrates his ability through a "simulation" to pull himself a fictitious opening handle of his parachute, always under the gaze of his instructor.
The parachute always opens automatically by the action of the monitor from the plane.
After the successful opening simulations, the student is then authorized to perform his first solo jump in free fall.
END OF THE INITIAL PAM 7 JUMPS TRAINING (depending on the student's assimilation.)
The first free fall lasts about 3 seconds during which the student begins the immediate opening sequence of his parachute.
The following jumps gradually go to higher altitudes 1500m, 2000m, 2500m, etc. with longer free fall times 5, 10, 20 seconds, etc.
The student enters a less structured program, in which he jumps with an instructor who films his jumps to improve his skills and teach him more advanced techniques. It prepares it for the A Certification.
After completing a total of 20 jumps he is ready to pass the A Certification of the Malagasy Sport Parachuting Federation.
Minimum 2 people to organize the training.
