AXIS Flight School offers structured, progressive training designed to help sport skydivers of all levels achieve their personal and competitive goals. Whether you’re looking to improve your canopy skills, master new freefall techniques in the tunnel and sky, or prepare for competition, our world-class coaches will guide you every step of the way.

Missed Foundations of Flight? Well—it’s 💥back💥, baby!

AXIS Flight School published its first Foundations of Flight article in Parachutist Magazine back in April of 2011. (Hard to believe, right?!)

Since then, we’ve used FoF to cover a huge number of freefall and canopy piloting topics, spanning everything from the A-lic fundamentals to the stuff at the pointiest end of the sport. While there have been a few interruptions to the regularly scheduled programming here and there (due to our busy competition schedules, military parachuting training and the other projects we take on), the great feedback encouraged us to consistently contribute to that monthly column for more than a decade.

We decided to take an extended hiatus two years ago, but popular demand kept getting more and more demanding. Skydivers, as it turns out, love Foundations of Flight. And we, in turn, love skydivers.

And so—without further ado, it’s back.

We’re kicking things (back) off by dropping some more canopy knowledge. This new, six-part series—called Approaching with Confidence—is AXIS’ FoF # 126.

Enjoy!
