Big formations (English: formation skydiving, from English: big way) is a type of parachuting in which participants strive to build a figure from a large number of participants in free fall and hold it for several seconds. Traditionally, large formations are referred to as group acrobatics. In group acrobatics, grips are provided on the jumpsuits of parachutists. What is a jump to build a formation?: Tight, correct separation from the LA. The exact exit to the sector of the approach to its place in the formation. Fast approach to the figure along the correctly selected glide path. The approach to the figure. Joining a formation is a continuation, not a completion. Strict observance of the rules of running up and timely opening of the parachute. Working under the dome and landing. 1. An error when separating from the aircraft (cutting through the flow, delay) leads to a loss of time for: recovery, orientation in space, excessive catching up with the base that has already gone far enough. At the same time, not only the culprit of the current situation is experiencing difficulties, but also the parachutists separating behind him. With the right separation (support on the hands, the plane of the body is open to the flow, the legs are abandoned), the sight of the figure is not lost for a second, and therefore, without spending absolutely unnecessary time correcting mistakes, you can proceed to stage No. 2. 2. Immediately after separation, and not getting close to the formation, it is necessary to choose the right direction to enter your sector of the approach to the figure, guided by ground preparation for the jump and based on the fact that the approach to the formation is always only from a straight line. 3. The speed chosen for the approach to the formation should be optimal both for fast approach to the figure and for safety in the fall. You must be sure that you are able to handle the selected speed. No desire to approach faster can serve as an excuse for a collision in the air! Therefore, in order to eliminate the risk of crashing into the formation, and simply "not to fail", inexperienced parachutists are recommended to make two or even three "platforms" (reverse deflection, tension of the muscles of the press, arms and legs spread out to the sides) to control speed control. The glide path on the approach to the figure should be such that the extreme "platform" is 2-3 meters away, both along the horizon and vertically. When approaching the figure, yawing along the course is unacceptable, I repeat: all approaches are only in a straight line. If the glide path was chosen correctly, then it remains after the extreme "platform" to exhale to overcome the remaining few meters to the formation and stand in its place. 4. Entering the formation is the beginning of a difficult stage of work during the jump. In order for the figure to fall steadily without experiencing tension, each of the participants in the formation must fall autonomously, at the same speed, tracking the horizon and only marking the grips. 5. Despite the understandable desire to get "... a little more, because over there, on the left, it seems that not everyone came up ...", the command to run up should be perceived as an order, and carried out unconditionally! This means that at a signal, all together or in tiers, depending on how it was agreed in advance, the participants of the formation turn exactly 180 degrees from the center of the figure and begin to "run up" along the most gentle glide path. During the run-up, be sure to look around to avoid collisions on intersecting courses. The signal for the completion of the run-up and the opening of the main parachute should not be the branches of huge Christmas trees or the heart-rending screams of the Head of the Jumps, but the sound of a "squeaker" exposed to a height of 1000-1100 meters. In any case, you must be under a fully filled dome no lower than 800 meters! 6. But even now, when, and, thank God, to the surprise of the stacker, the main one has opened, and the formation has gathered, and you can easily reach the start - the jump has not yet been completed. Therefore, it's too early to relax. Before landing, or rather until you leave the landing site - turn your head 360 degrees! You can't be overly vigilant under the dome. Remember that someone may be less attentive than you. But if at least one of the two converging under the domes controls the situation, it will help to avoid very unpleasant consequences. Strict observance of the rules of the direction of landings, and which circle these landings occur, and sometimes, if agreed, their order will almost completely protect you from unpleasant incidents at the final stage of the jump.
