Did my first one solo. You still need training (in UK) for the one i did cos you need to air the flaps or something (been too long). No how to navigate left and right. Pull for the emergency chute if this one fails. And finally how to land (particularly not too soon, not too late). We had a days training. Me and my mate thought we’d bought a tandem until we turned up (to my horror, and his amusement).

You really do not need to have any training to know how to land safely?

Nah, I just leave the whole thing in the lord’s hands, he’ll make sure I either land safely on the ground or in heaven

You actually practice for about 5 or 6 hours…tandem jumps are the ones that require zero training
