Tandem Progression

Tandem Skydive Training Highlights the Basics

WNYSkydiving is a training center. That means whether you’re making your first jump or your 100th, we would like you to learn something on every skydive. Training for that first tandem skydive focuses on the basic body position required for skydiving and landing under canopy as well as the plane ride and aircraft exit.

There are two objectives on your very first skydive. The first objective is simply to get you out of the airplane. There is nothing that can prepare you for that feeling of jumping out of a moving aircraft other than jumping out of an airplane! The second objective is to get you into the proper body position for freefall. We call this body position the “arch.” This is the most important thing you will be taught when you go through training for your tandem skydive. It’s the position you need to be in from the second you leave the airplane until the canopy (parachute) opens.

For those looking to get licensed and skydive solo, your tandem jump is your first taste of freefall and parachute flight! Following your tandem skydive, you’ll need to complete your first jump course! Upon successfully completing your first jump course ground school, you get the opportunity to join us in our student program. This is where the fun REALLY begins!!
