In continuation of the Coach Rating Course, we also trained for the AFF Instructor at Flygang. Not all the candidates passed but we were pleased to see five new AFF-I’s born in Molinella. Our applause goes out to:
Daniel Pierce (Australia) / Gabriele Ghilardi (Italy) / Mirko di Siena (Italy) / Mattia Fenati (Italy) / Teodor Ionescu (Italy)
We thank you all for the participation and wish you always “safe” students! Our special thanks also goes out to the DZ Staff of Flygang Molinella for the hospitality and organization!
During April 17-19, 2012 we conducted a USPA Coach Rating Course at Flygang Molinella in Italy. It was our first visit at Flygang and we were surprised by the great demand for the Coach Rating. With 8 participants on the course, we completed the task thanks to the help of Sebastiano and Livio as evaluators. Finally we congratulate all candidates for their newly gained Coach Rating:
Upon request we travelled again to the beautiful DZ of Skydive Nuggets, in southern Germany (Leutkirch). Despite the unpredictable April weather, we had a great week and completed the training of Emiel Noorlander (Netherlands) for his USPA/UPT Tandem Instructor Rating. Emiel did a great job and we congratulate him for a well deserved instructor license. Have fun with your future passengers!
The PhantomX full face helmet is the next generation skydiving helmet developed with the primary purpose of solving all of the problems inherent in the most popular full-face helmets currently on the market. A state-of-the-art design has resulted in a safer, more functional and more user-friendly skydiving helmet already favored by professional and recreational skydivers alike. Instructors Academy has been sponsored by Square1 with this excellent piece of equipment and we can highly recommend it to every fellow skydiver! Thanks to Tony and Square1 for the collaboration.
