Explaining the flare in a really simple way – really useful for newer skydivers
Tips for Landing
- Always start your flare under a level wing
- Keep your arms up until it’s time to flare
- Start the flare at 12-15 feet
- Look forward not down at the ground
- Dial in the flaring height by taking references
- Do a 2-stage flare
- Stage 1, pull the toggles until the canopy is level just above the ground
- Stage 2, continue pulling gently on the toggles to extend the flare
- Don’t touch down too early – let the parachute shut down
- Lean forward
