Tips from the United States Parachute Association for first-time skydivers.
Competitive accuracy landing is a team event with 5 persons on each team that takes place over 8 rounds. The team jumps together, generally from an altitude of 900 meters (3,000 feet), although sometimes as high as 1,100 meters (3,600 feet).
The jump pilot files a "Notification" of jumping, at least one hour before the first jump, with Air Traffic Control (ATC) as required by FAR 105, and may file a Notice to Airmen . Skydiving operations with continuous activity may file a permanent Notification and NOTAM, which are often depicted on aeronautical charts.
A big way is a type of formation skydiving involving a large group of skydivers coming together while in freefall to form a specific and predetermined formation. All the skydivers involved aim to connect with each other and hold the complete formation for a designated period (a number of seconds).
Cameramen included Tom Ryan, whose previous experience included early parachute development, testing, and design. Ryan was a pioneer in capturing closeup film footage of free-falling skydivers. In 1962, the filming of the series involved the transfer of a stuntman between two airplanes, which was being filmed from a third aircraft.
