FreeFly Safety Guidelines


FreeFly requires special attention on Safety because of the higher speeds and the many possible different orientation towards the line of flight.

 


Equipment:


Before you go FreeFly you should take special care about your Gear:

  • Tight Flaps as Riser Covers which do not open in Flight
  • Tight Loop in very good Condition on Main and Reserve
  • Fitting Gear / tight chest strap / tight leg straps
  • BOC (Bottom of Container Hand Deploy) in very good condition of the Spandex (to prevent premature openings)
  • Bridle safely covered
  • Flap over closing Pin which does not open
  • AAD – Automatic Activation Device (f.e. cypres – NO FXC 12000)
  • Tight connection between the legstraps is recommended

and on your other equipment

  • jumpsuit is recommeded (we do not recommend clothing that opens or loosens in flight like a t-shirt that could come out your pants/legstraps and cover your emergency handles)
  • hard helmet
  • minimum of 1 audible altimeter (f.e. pro track/dytter)

 

Preparation:

  • good briefing of every FreeFly jump
  • on 3 or more ways make sure to know who is the base
  • be careful choosing the groups you join – FreeFly big ways are fun but also more dangerous     


Exit (we prefer to call it “Entrance”):

  • pre-meditade your entrance and the moment you will fly away from the aircraft
  • make sure, the group in front of you has traveled behind the aircraft with a aprox. 40 degree angle.


FreeFlight:

  • be aware of the 5 steps to freefly safely
  • try to orientate yourself 90 degrees/perpendicular in respect to the jumprun
  • avoid (or plan very well) drastic vertical speed changes!!


Separation:

  • choose flat tracking to safe time and gain horizontal distance
  • we recommend to visually scan / check the airspace all around you by doing a barrel roll before opening the parachute.


Under open Parachute:

  • after opening fly 90 degrees in respect off jumprun– until you see the groups before and after you on open parachutes.
