Back in my skydiving days, I coached jumpers just off student status on their canopy flying skills. Everything from packing, to learning how to shoot accuracy. I even taught high performance landings, though I drew the line at hook turns.
While I was never known as “CanopyFlyer” at my home DZ, I was known as someone that a student could come to and get good safe coaching. A couple of my students are now doing it professionally and you’ve seen them in the movies. Although, their skills have far outstripped anything I’ve taught them. I’m proud to have least provided them a foundation that they could build on.
