WIND TUNNEL COURSE

The Wind Tunnel Bodyflight & Freefall Control course is a ground-based alternative to freefall, ideal for learning and refining flying skills in a controlled environment. It allows participants to safely develop body awareness, balance and stability before or alongside real skydives.

 

Course Objectives

 

Participants will:

​

  • Learn the basics of stable bodyflight (belly-to-earth position).

​

  • Improve balance, coordination and fine control of movement in airflow.

​

  • Build confidence and reduce fear before actual skydives.

​

  • Understand how body position affects speed, direction and stability.

​

  • Practice communication and discipline in a high-intensity environment.

 

What You Will Learn

 

1. Theory & Briefing

​

  • Introduction to tunnel operation and safety rules

​

  • Bodyflight principles: center of gravity, surface area, air resistance

​

  • Hand signals and communication with tunnel instructors

​

  • How to enter, fly and exit the tunnel safely

 

2. Practical Bodyflight Sessions

​

  • Stable neutral position for safe, controlled flight

​

  • Adjusting speed and height using legs, hips and arms

​

  • Basic forward/backward, side and rotational movements

​

  • Building muscle memory for freefall posture and corrections

​

  • Progressive challenges based on individual comfort and skill

 

3. Mental & Physical Conditioning

​

  • Breathing control and relaxation under strong airflow

​

  • Staying calm in confined/high-sensory environments

​

  • Simple stretching and preparation to reduce fatigue and tension

 

Course Format

​

  • Duration: Typically 1 theory briefing + multiple short flight blocks in the tunnel (e.g., 10–20 minute packages divided into shorter sessions).

​

  • Method: Safety briefing, off-air practice, then repeated tunnel sessions with real-time instructor feedback.

​

  • Group Size: Very small groups or individual sessions for maximum control and learning speed.

 

Who Can Join?

​

  • Complete beginners who want a safe first step toward skydiving

​

  • Existing or future skydivers who want to refine their freefall skills

​

  • Individuals wanting to challenge themselves, improve body control and overcome fear of high-speed airflow

 

Health & Safety Requirements

​

  • Basic physical fitness and no major joint, neck or heart problems

​

  • Compliance with tunnel operator’s height/weight limits and safety policies

​

  • Following instructor’s hand signals and instructions at all times
