Sport
Skydivers and competitors use simulation to progress between jumps.
- Body-position and relative-work training in the wind tunnel
- Preparing a discipline or a manoeuvre
- Keeping skills current during inactive periods
Uses of skydiving simulation
Simulation serves different audiences. The principles stay the same: a clear learning objective, qualified supervision, a debrief.
Initial and recurrent training
Schools and clubs integrate simulation into a training progression.
- Familiarisation before the first jump
- Rehearsing emergency procedures
- Preparing canopy flight and landing
- Refresher training after a break
Military and institutional contexts
Government organisations also use simulation to prepare their personnel. This site covers the topic in general terms only.
- Preparation and training in a controlled environment
- Reduced exposure to risk during learning
- Frameworks and content defined by the organisations concerned
