Level 3 in the SES camps is the interface to competitive sport. The SES Formation Skydive 3 deals with block technique, grip technique, competition exits etc. You do not need to be a top competitor to be able to attend this course, but you should have good command of the contents of courses 1 and 2 of this discipline in order to be able to apply the new inputs of level 3 correctly. In SES FS 3, the trainer will provide highly individual assistance and specific tips to improve your flying technique and your implementation. You are of course also welcome to attend this camp with your team. You and your team will definitely be able to take away a great deal of important information with you for your training.

This camp is open to all parachutists with a valid licence. 

You should be familiar with and able to apply the contents of FS 1 and 2 in order to reap the full benefit of this offering.

You may register for this course as an individual parachutist

Theory and practice 

Pair technique, how do I fly with a partner? 

Team exits incl. camera flyer

3D technique and elements

Jumps with good rhythm 

Introduction to FAI block training

Team sizes up to 2-8 parachutists

The first step in the tunnel is the training of basic skills such as turning, pushing, shifting bodyweight, as well as a stable flying position. These are the basic elements with which to be able to move around dynamically in the sky. At the same time, the trainer will introduce various flying positions in which you fly sitting, lying on your back, and on your belly. This course is the basis for Tunnel Flying 2 FS and Tunnel Flying 2 AE. 

In this first proficiency level, you will get to know and train these basic skills. The coach will allocate you to sessions and keep you on your toes in the tunnel. You are of course welcome to come with a complete team to share the first steps in the sport.

This camp is open to parachutists from level TS (Test Securite). You may also register for this course as an individual parachutist.

The theoretical block provides an insight into the organisation around and in the tunnel, safety aspects, recovery, the flying positions as well as basic skills and elements. 

The video debriefing at the end of the flown blocks is intended to enable you to visualise your body position, thereby facilitating and  speeding up learning. Briefing for the subsequent blocks takes place on the basis of an evaluation of the first blocks and discussions with you. 

Individual programme adaptation 

If you are already able to implement the required content at an early stage in the course, we will continue to work with you individually on the next level. If you are not yet able to fly everything prescribed in the course and need to put in more practice time, we will adapt the programme to your ability. 

Outline contents: Theory block tunnel, Safety instructions – getting in and out 

Basic skills: Belly position, Pushing, Shifting body weight (floating-reducing), Rotations 

In Tunnel Flying 2 FS you will learn to move quickly and precisely with other parachutists. During the course, grip techniques, communication types and random-like drills will be examined in more detail. To enable you to get the maximum possible benefit, the trainer will put together jumps with random figures in line with your proficiency level. Here, too, you will be supervised in the tunnel on a 1:1 basis or in small groups. In Tunnel Flying 2 FS you will lay the foundation with which to be able to jump safely from the plane with other like-minded people and also move safely and precisely in formations.

Individual parachutists, groups and teams of all levels of experience may register for this course. You should be familiar with and able to apply the content of TF 1 in order to reap the full benefit of this offering.

The content of this proficiency level encompasses a theory block on grip techniques, communication principles and random- (basic) as well as block work (basic). Practical implementation in the tunnel. Video-debriefing of the session flown. The entire course is highly individualised and the contents combined and trained with changing flight partners.

This level is suitable for established teams to learn a uniform, tried and tested team technique. The focus in Tunnel Flying 3 FS is on block techniques, communication, references and briefing techniques. However, this level is also suitable for individual parachutists to get to know other parachutists of the same level of ability and possibly form new teams or training groups. This course is the right introduction to learning about formation skydive competition and getting started with a team.

You should be familiar with and able to apply the content of TF FS 1 in order to reap the full benefit of this offering. You may also register for this course as an individual parachutist.

Proficiency level 3 is oriented towards competitive formation skydiving.  

Due to more dynamic movement as an individual jumper as well as in a group, movement competence, planning and organisation in the tunnel, communication as well as flying discipline will play a central role. 

Practice:

Block technique, communication, references, individual dynamic positions, briefing techniques

Tunnel Flying VFS 1 focuses on the transitions (head-up - head-down) and precise placements in the centre. This will be practised individually or in small teams. Your body positions and spatial placement will be constantly checked and monitored by the trainer. In VFS, precision is vital and solid transitions and positions are the be-all and end-all of VFS. Grip techniques, communication and references will of course also be regularly examined and incorporated in the briefings and jumps.

In order to get started in the VFS discipline, a soundly-based knowledge of freeflying is necessary. You must be proficient in head-up and head-down positions. You can acquire this in an Artistic Events 1 or 2 course. Individual parachutists, groups and teams of all levels of experience may register for this course. 

The content of this proficiency level encompasses a theory block on grip techniques, communication principles and random- (basic) as well as block work (basic). Practical implementation in the tunnel. Video-debriefing of the session flown. Briefing for subsequent sessions and addressing individual questions. The entire course is heavily individualised and the contents combined and trained with changing flight partners.

This level is suitable for established teams to learn a uniform, tried and tested team technique. The focus in Tunnel Flying 3 VFS is on block techniques, communication, references and briefing techniques. However, this level is also suitable for individual parachutists to get to know other parachutists of the same level of ability and possibly form new teams or training groups. This course is the right introduction to learning about formation skydive competition and getting started with a team.

You should be familiar with and able to apply the content of TF VFS 1 in order to reap the full benefit of this offering. You may also register for this course as an individual parachutist.

Proficiency level 3 is oriented towards competitive vertical formation skydiving.  

Due to more dynamic movement as an individual jumper as well as in a group,  movement competence, planning and organisation in the tunnel, communication as well as flying discipline will play a central role. 

Block technique, communication, references, individual dynamic positions, briefing techniques

Anyone wanting to freefly in the tunnel will encounter back flying sooner or later. There are two main reasons for this: 

The vertical flying positions in freefly result in a faster fall rate and thus in turn to a higher wind speed needed to fly in the tunnel. Because the back flying position is extremely stable, it is ideal as a "recue position" if you lose control during head-up or head-down exercises.  

Similar to head-down flying, the visual perspective in back flying is reversed. This situation contributes to an improvement in flying sensation as well as to faster learning of head-down flying.

A valid licence is required for this proficiency level. Individual parachutists, groups and teams of all levels of experience may register for this course. 

You should be familiar with and able to apply the content of TF 1 in order to reap the full benefit of this offering.

Das Rückenfliegen wird der Hauptbestandteil dieses Kurses sein. Analog dem Basic Tunnelflying lernst du dich sicher auf dem Rücken in alle Richtungen zu bewegen. 

Individuelle Programmanpassung 

Wenn du innerhalb des Kurses die verlangten Inhalte bereits früh umsetzen kannst, werden wir mit dir individuell auf der nächsten Stufe weiterarbeiten, falls Du noch nicht alles fliegen kannst das im Kurs ausgeschrieben ist und mehr Übungszeit einsetzen musst, passen wir das Programm deinem Können ebenfalls an.

Head-up, head-down, carving out & inface, layouts... the possibilities are unlimited with advanced freeflying. In this course you will receive highly individualised coaching in line with your specific wishes and needs. The main objectives of this proficiency level lie in the basic position of head-up flying, as well as various superpositional moves such as back layout or head-down outface carving. Great importance is also attached to one of the main problems of tunnel flying for parachutists: implementing the lessons learned in free fall.

This course is open to all parachutists with a valid licence. You should be familiar with and able to apply the content of TF 2 in order to reap the full benefit of this offering. You may also register for this course as an individual parachutist.

The SES trainer has a free hand to announce a course via the SES platform, the contents of which are oriented entirely towards his creativity. That's what Joker Days are about! The trainer can offer specific course contents such as team training, special discipline combinations, tracking or individual competition training. Log in under Content and find out what the trainer has in store for you in this course.

If you are unsure as to whether this course is something for you or not, simply check with the trainer. He will explain what prerequisites you need to fulfil for this course. In principle however, you can also read up on this under Special. The trainer will have set out the program for this course there.

Over the last 10 years, freeflying has become established as an interesting and extremely multifaceted parachuting discipline. Interesting, because as a parachutist you are confronted with many new situations, but also because it also offers many new things in terms of attitude, perception and orientation. The faster fall rate, higher speeds during the manoeuvres, the separation height and separation discipline are just a few of the characteristic differences to formation jumping. In the Artistic Events courses, our primary aim is to assist you with your individual development. In addition, we would like to suggest steps that, in the correct sequence, should turn you into an accomplished parachutist 

This camp is open to parachutists with a valid certification. You may register for this course as an individual parachutist or as a team.

Theoretical section: 

Safety rules, positions, recovery         

Practical section:

Belly and back flying skills. Tracking on the belly (level, angle, turns, slow-fast)     

In Artistic Events 2, you will mainly move in the head-up position. In the camp, the trainer will train and check you on the manoevres and elements and give you further exercises. After this camp you are so to speak certified and can fly stably in a head-up position in accordance with the rating. The camp takes place in the style of a workshop in which each participant can practice and train at their own level. This can be in the form of one-to-one coaching or in a small group. The trainer will determine the appropriate grouping.

This camp is open to parachutists with a valid certification. You may register for this course as an individual parachutist or as a team. You should be familiar with and able to apply the content of  Artistic Events 1.

Theoretical section: 

Safety rules, head-up position, tracking techniques.

Practical section:

Head-up positions (level, approach, grip technique)  Tracking on the belly and in the back position (level, angle turns, slow-fast) 

Artistic Events 3 is primarily about the head-down position and the transitions. The course builds on a stable and safe head-up position as conveyed in Artistic Events 2. According to the level,  work will be carried on the head-down position on the transitions or on the manoeuvres out of the head-down position. The trainer will give you valuable inputs directly during the course and advise you on subsequent jumps or tunnel training. Two days are not enough to learn and be able to fly a head-down position to perfection, however you will become familiar with the most important basic principles and techniques. The follow-up is essential and can take place in further SES courses with your trainer in the air or in the tunnel.

The focus of this course is on formation flying, known as "flocking". In addition to the theory required, you will learn to fly in a wingsuit formation. Your control over climb/sink, right/left will be practised in such a way as to enable you join a formation quickly and easily and then hold your slot. This of course also includes safe separation. Once flat formations can be flown stably, we begin with building vertical formations. The goal of the course is to enable you to fly safely and enjoyably with other wingsuit pilots.

You feel at home in a wingsuit and can fly in a smooth and stable manner. You are familiar with and can implement the content of Wingsuit 1

In Wingsuit 3, you will rotate around all your axes! Flying acrobatics with a wingsuit has only just begun in the last few years. A team consists of three wingsuit pilots (1 camera, 2 performers). The objective is to achieve the highest possible number of grips in accordance with different requirements. Rolls, somersaults and position changes are to be flown between the grips. To this end, in a short theoretical section, you will learn the techniques to fly these manoeuvres in a controlled manner and with the least possible loss of height. Afterwards you will systematically improve this and combine it with the grips. With further training, you will soon ready to perform in a team. Acrobatics promotes your flying skills and precision.
