Lesson 2
Even though you feel silly practicing these steps, they are helpful to know when you actually “fall” out of the plane. The first step you practice is how your instructor and you will crawl your way to the door attached to one another. Then when the instructor informs you, you swing your legs perpendicular to the door. You stick out your chest and lean front. While you are doing this in the sky, the pilot tips the plane, so that you basically fall out. This position then leads you into the next position of free falling.
Lesson 1
Before you can jump out of the plane, there is some instruction that is reviewed with you. Before you put on your gear, there are a couple of positions that you practice on the ground. Then you learn the step by step procedure of how you will jump out of the plane with your instructor. You also practice the form you will have when you are free falling. Once you have your gear on and you are in the plane, you then practice the steps of jumping.
