Build your freefly profile · The Freefly Project

About your jumping

Rough numbers are fine. Currency shapes the advice more than the lifetime total does.

Roughly how many jumps do you have? *

How many jumps in the last 90 days? *

Currency matters more than the lifetime total. An honest number here makes the profile useful.

How many jumps in the last 12 months? *

Of those, roughly how many were freefly jumps?

Head up, head down, angles or dynamic. A best guess is fine.

How many hours of tunnel time do you have?

Leave blank or put zero if none. Tunnel time counts toward some units, but never toward the assessment jumps.

What licence or certificate do you hold? *

Have you had freefly coaching before?

Do you usually have video of your jumps?

Video is required for a valid assessment against any unit, so this shapes what can be signed off.

Yes No

Your gear

Every freefly unit assumes a certain standard of kit. This does not change your result, it just gets flagged so you and a coach can see it.

Do you jump with a visual altimeter?

Yes No Not sure

Do you jump with a working audible altimeter, set for freefly?

Yes No Not sure

Is your rig freefly suitable, with covered bridle, secure riser covers and a tight chest strap?

If you are not sure, that is worth a rigger looking at it before the weekend.

Yes No Not sure

Running a jump

These come up in every unit in the curriculum, so they are asked once here rather than 39 times.
