There are many approaches for training to be a better wingsuit pilot.

Wingsuit Flight Skills

• demonstrate ability to move forward and (relative) backward (controlled speed up, slow down)
• demonstrate ability to side slide
• demonstrate ability to go up and down (relative)
• barrel rolls (belly to belly) while maintaining heading (right and left)
• front-loops (belly to belly) while maintaining heading
• back-loops (belly to belly) while maintaining heading
• demonstrate ability to float/hang (slow flight)
• demonstrate ability to do a controlled acceleration towards another person or group
• demonstrate ability to do a controlled hard (relative) stop
• demonstrate ability to dive, flare and use momentum to generate forward speed and stay level
• demonstrate a hard dive and aborting flare (quickly bleeding of speed)
• stay relative to another wingsuiter in both up/down/forward/backward movements
• docking with other wingsuit pilot (multiple docks/releases in a jump)
• exit unstable and recover quickly, locate and find heading again (using sun as a reference)
• perform consistent, fast and stable group exits
• follow a formation in a spectator slot, staying on level and keeping the same heading
• quick recovery and heading correction after instability in exit
• fly relative to another wingsuit pilot, and briefly touch the hand (set up for a dock)
• fly a controlled hand-dock for a duration of 3 seconds, without tension on the grip
• fly a controlled hand-dock for a duration of 10 seconds, without tension on the grip
• during flight, half a barrelroll to backfly, maintaining heading
• backfly, half a barrelroll to belly, maintaining heading
• backfly for a full jump at a constant fallrate
• maintain heading and navigate while backflying using sun or other external reference
• fly vertically stacked above another wingsuiter, with correct forward spacing
• approach a (vertically stacked) slot with correct awareness of burbles
• pass over another jumper with correct awareness/avoiding of the burble (staying ahead)
• demonstrate full control over up/down level and directional control while backflying
• make a hand dock on a static base, while backflying
• fly a hand dock for 10 seconds while backflying
• backfly underneath the base, and follow the base through a slow 90 degree turn staying in slot
• backfly and perform a full barrelroll back into backfly
• from belly, 1,5 barrelroll into backfly, while maintaining heading
• 360 degree turn on the back, ending up on the same heading
