Essential canopy skills for advancing skydivers

OVERVIEW
Much more than a signoff, the B-License weekend is an immersive, high-level learning environment designed to maximize your confidence in (and enjoyment of) canopy flight.

You will be expertly guided in a small group, in a variable-controlled environment that limits your stress and maximises your retention and performance.

Over the two days of an AXIS B-License Weekend course, you will be expertly guided through the canopy proficiency and live water landing training components of the USPA B-License Requirements D, E, and F.

The latter requires that you pass the written B-License exam, which we can administer either immediately after the courses or by appointment.

Canopy Proficiency Course
Over the course of the weekend, you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of your parachute and learn from our expert coaches how to maximize safety and performance while flying your wing, even in challenging or unfamiliar conditions.

This course will instil the fundamental habits of safety-optimised, controlled canopy flying that you can build upon for years to come. We will focus on advanced canopy control, active flying and awareness.

Course Includes:

• Classroom instruction
• Canopy handling drills
• Precision slow flight
• Stall avoidance, control, and recovery
• Proper handling and application of toggles and risers
• Individual analysis of all landings
• Practical, personal instruction between jumps
• Live Water Landing Training
• Designed to meet the USPA B-License requirements, this 90-minute course prepares you not only for your new license requirements but also to travel to new and exotic locations in the context of the sport.

Apart from emergencies, the AXIS B-license course will also prepare you for the new variables you will encounter at beach boogies and water-landing events.

Important: As water training is involved, this course is for proficient swimmers only! A canopy and harness will be provided to you for immersion in the pool water.
