The biggest worry for most people who have never seen parachuting taking place is the landing, so we decided to take a series of photos to show what's involved.
The “under canopy” phase lasts for approximately 5 minutes. You have plenty of time to try out steering the parachute but your Tandem Instructor will take over full control for the last 1000 feet. At around 200 feet your instructor will ask you to raise your legs for landing which is usually about 15 seconds before touching down. This preparation will ensure that the instructor’s feet touch the ground first.
