Vertical flying. Sit, head-down, transitions. The discipline that redefined modern skydiving in the 90s.
Two reference positions: head-up (sit) at ~230 km/h and head-down at ~270-290 km/h. Requires fine body control in an unstable attitude and many tunnel hours to consolidate position. VFS (Vertical Formation Skydiving) is the competitive team version. Also the gateway to indoor dynamic and terminal BASE jumping.
In Italy the freefly community is concentrated on a few dropzones (Reggio, Fano, Thiene) and the Aero Gravity tunnel. Cost is significantly higher than FS due to required tunnel hours.
50+ jumps, B license, minimum 3-5 tunnel hours to start solo head-up. Clean head-down typically requires 10-20 cumulative tunnel hours.
Fitted freefly suit (no booty), high collar, freefly handles on reserve to prevent premature deployments. Canopy 170-210 sqft, higher wing loading than belly.
