About this video:
Landing patterns are part of the process of becoming a better skydiver. Why do we need landing patterns:
- To land safely
- To avoid collision with others
- To avoid collision with obstacles or the ground
Before boarding the plane, you always need to have a landing pattern planed. It will depend on the dropzone landing area, your canopy & the wind conditions.
Enjoy!

when you're supposed to be working, but you'd rather be skydiving so you're on youtube watching skydive videos lol :)..story of my life. love your videos!
Thanks Rich! Working to pay skydives... We are all there. ;)
Literally doing this very thing right now. #longestbathroombreakever
Doing exactly that :D
hahaha me rn
Also me 😬🤷♀️
These videos are all gold!! Just starting AFF at Skydive Arizona and all your videos clarify things so well! Takes alot of my nervousness away!
Going on my first dive flow jump for STP tomorrow! Thanks for the tips. 🤟🏼
All of your videos are brilliant.
looking at learning to skydive (Australia) these videos are a great help !
Thanks Paul. Got to that comment late but I appreciate it!
Thank you very much!
And for all you beginning swoopers, learn the mastery of high speed butt slide landings.
This is thrilling experience.
I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned because it made all the difference for me in terms of the right moment to start the flare: LOOK FORWARD, not down. After that, smooth landings 9/10 times!
Right on!!
Thanks for sharing! L💙VE your vídeos!👍
It's my pleasure!
Hey Dear! I just finished my AFF course and have at the moment 15 solo jumps... i'm 180cm and about 85kg. So at the moment i fly a 240 or 220sqft... with the landing/flare i dont have problems... sometimes a bit fast when i didnt finished my flare properly... but with the landig in the "zone" i have problems... ( i miss my point of landing always by 10-20meters... they all told me its about the feeling and you have to get into that... DZ, wind, altitude and all that stuff... in the AFF we had radios so the instructor told us at the beginning when to make the pattern and flare... btw i watched your videos already before i did my aff course! It helped me a lot! Thanks for your great work! Blue Skies! Meilleure Salutation de la Suisse ( mais allemand )
I need to be more confident in my landings, so this video is really worth it.Thank you!!! 😉
It's a pleasure and it was my challenge too.
after landing be aware of incoming traffic! especially if the designated landing area is small be aware of other skydivers landing close to you. also if you should have landed on the runway. clear it fast.
Yup Good point!
You really made building a pattern simple and your explanation was very clear, I'm just glad you don't speak with an accent! :) Merci, Ciels bleus
Pleasure!
Another great and informing video! At 20 jumps, I am really looking for some great tips improving my accuracy. And these were great!
Thanks Dustin. Did you order your Cookie G3 yet?
@@SkydiveVibes I have not. My DZ owner doesn't like for students to wear full faced helmets for whatever reason. But now that I got my A, I'll be ordering the helmet very soon!🤙🤘
Congratulations! Safe landing.
Thanks!
Your pretty and you skydive 😘 thanks for the good video thaugt me a lot
awesome super video!! 10 points thank you very much🤗
You are welcome!
Thanks for your videos. I am signing up for an A-license in 2 weeks. Your channel is awesome.
Thanks! Let me know how it went!
how did it go?
@@advocat1090 I have 140 jumps now and a B license.I got 4 jumps in today
I wann come to u for learning .Tell me way plz .Nice videos❤
btw...Downwind, Base and Final ;)
Good point. French deviation. Oups ;)
Great video! I'm not sure why, but I hung on every word u said. It could of been the smile, the accent, or the eyes. Either way thanks, it all made sense.........
Funny story. I commented on here a few weeks ago about landing better. A few weeks later landed in a tail wind on the runway because I got pushed sideways under heavy winds and then I wrecked my rig and jump suit in the process
Should’ve rewatched this a few weeks ago 😳. Compound fracture suck.
As stupid as it sounds I play a little game called the grass is safe and the dirt is lava. Seems to be working out so far haha.
If I was coding a robot to land a parachute this is how I would code it. I see so many base jumpers taking skydiving advice and they always end up in the trees and even skydivers with 150 jumps seem to overshoot for no reason because they fly like robots that only pull more break down or up to adjust their target. The best way I've found is to always aim to overshoot and then readjust with last second/last minute s turns and a swoop in to finish it off with a perfect flare - especially when you're flying your base parachutes because they flare like crap and the more speed you get down the smoother the landing will be.
Perfect for me, thank you thank you thank you ^^
Hope ur well, have a great weeeek? Or whatever till next video 😅
Thanks and you too! I am heading to a freefly seminar this weekend! 😜
I just got back into skydiving this fall after doing 26 jumps back in 1991. I only got 2 jumps in 2018 before winter come. Back in 1991 we didn't have the landing pattern. I like the new box landing pattern at are drop zone.
Welcome back!
Bigfoot Country 1991, that’s legend man
Hi how r u. I never get to take a landing course. Do u have any tips on landing flare. Do u do a 2 stage or single? I have good and bad landings. Im not consistent. Its so hard to get nice soft landings every jump.i just do understand. Sometimes i land hard and my legs are sore for a week. I have 106 jumps.any tips would be helpful. Blue skies
The best would be that you discuss this with a coach and ask him to look at you went you land. But in brief, I look the ground in front of me (about 15 feet away) and not at my feet. I flare in 2 stage and hold me from touching the ground until I slowed down enough by completing my flare (hands fully down). I also highly recommend a canopy piloting course like Flight-1. It helped me so much.
Hi Catherine, I've checked your videos and I'd like to know a tip from you, how can I avoid the pressure in my ears when you are descending and when you open the canopy. I am preparing to do the course AFF but in my Tandem this thing it was really bad for me. I'd like to know "exercises" to avoid it.
Hey Hernan, I'll answer this in an upcoming Q&A video. ;) But once under canopy, I simply press my nose and try to gently "blow air through my ears" (ok this isn't what happens but it's the best way to explain ;) )
Hernan..hi I have just done tandem once so far but fell in love with skydiving..but it has been a moth and my ears are still killing me my doctors say if I'm going to continue which I am I may need to get tubes in my ears..such as small children do ..its no big deal..she also said some people can get away with taking claritin prior to jumping..the pressure was so very painful on dive ..
I ruptured my eardrum (small rupture, 2 week recovery) during my first tandem, and during my second AFF jump. I started using a nose plug to equalize during freefall, (3 times) and under canopy (3 times) which really helped. Just know it adds some distraction to skydive prep and skydive activity. I tried without the nose plugs and used my fingers (during freefall, that helped) but during my check dive to get my license, I didn't do any equalizing and it was uncomfortable for my ears. Another big thing that helps is to equalize all the way up in the plane (even when people open the door) by the "swallowing saliva technique" that made a big difference for ear pain in skydiving. Lastly, a congestion OTC for those runny nose days are a precaution. I personally don't want to compromise my hearing sense for the sport so I go to great heights to prevent ear pain. Hope it was helpful.
@@talmorkliman1709 Try using a nasal spray which opens up the sinuses. I had the same problem and got blood noses. Take some anti histamine tablets as well.
Hi Catherine, I am from India and plan to do skydiving course. How should I go about it?
Where can i learn Full AFF course ?
For all the new jumpers who wanna immediately learn to swoop, fly a camera, and/or jump “one of those squirrel suits with the parachute backpack” after finishing AFF, I say send it!
Came to learn how to free fall, ended up falling in love with Catherine😍
Haha thanks. Where do you jump?
Skydive Vibes i only did some paragliding and now i can’t get the Skydiving thing off my head. Gonna go to Australia to start the AFF course
@@MM-fp5vf good idea! ;)
She is indeed beautiful.
I'm am a paraplegic , on my way to my 1st landing . What if I cannot use my legs for steering ... any suggestions ? I do have a concern for landing , don't want injuries . It's the only part I am really worried about for the most part.
One of my friend is too and he has been jumping for 10-15 years! He simply always land sitting and someone comes to pick him up on the landing zone with his wheel chair. He also straps his legs in freefall. You don't absolutely need your legs or hips to steer.
The thing I would be most scared of is that both, main canopy and reserve canopy malfunction. How likely is that?
Omg lol
How long you took to complete your A-licence courses?
It really depends on the weather, your ability, and your budget. ;) Because your A-licence takes about 20-25 jumps. I got it by the end of my first season in about 2 months.
Have I got this completely wrong but the blue arrows on the landing pattern at 4:40 to 5:15 are the WRONG way!!!
The direction is good. It is your canopy direction but to define the pattern you can start by the end to know where to start. ;)
Actually yeah definitely seems like she explained it backwards although I have no doubt she understands the pattern.
1000 600 300 then Final approach
are you on Instagram?
Yes I am!!
Waving your legs isn't an official sign here in France on DZs.
can you translate to Spanish?
haha it's just like landing a plane
Ok sorry but I'm confused. You start your downwind at 1,00ft, 2nd leg crosswind at 600ft and then 3rd leg upwind at 300ft not a thousand. Did I miss something anyone? What???
I feel as confused as you Actually came to the comments to say this... I'm feeling lost
If you fly 1,000ft into the wind (your last leg) ur gonna be landing WAY OFF! You don't start your 1st leg and only go downwind 300ft and then 2nd leg at 600ft... No no no!
Sorry this is wrong. It's a 1,000 downwind, 2nd crosswind at 600ft and then 300ft into the wind or upwind NOT A 1,000FT upwind! After 100ft you fly straight... No more anything... Go straight and that's where ur gonna land
блииин ...научите ее ктонить по русски разговаривать ....ни понятно же ;)
not much help at all
I wanna do AFF so bad but I'm terrified about landing lol. It seems so weird to me that you're just supposed to know how to fly your canopy to an exact point on the ground. Help! 🥲🤣
They put you on a large canopy and you have a radio hopefully. Study the pattern but remember it doesn't have to be perfect. Watch other new and pro jumpers land as much as you can and try not to be over anything you wouldn't want to land on. You should be testing your flare power and turns after opening anyways so you get a good idea. Or just do a couple tandems and let them know you want to hold the toggles a little bit. It's not as hard as it seems trust me.
