Angle Flying / Tracking

Angle is an advanced group discipline with high collision risk. Serious progression requires dedicated camps (2-3 day angle camps) with experienced coaches setting tight flying rules.

01 — Context

The discipline in brief

Clean 2-way tracking and group angle flying are the disciplines that cover the most horizontal distance in freefall. Unlike FS, the group moves laterally; unlike vertical freefly, a low angle is held to maximize glide. Serves as separation skill in group jumps and as wingsuit preparation.

Key gear

Standard freefly suit; closed helmet recommended given relative speed between flyers; active AAD critical given low-altitude deployment profiles if tracking persists.

Risk
Elevated

Group angle is considered advanced due to collision risk between converging trajectories. Requires tight briefings and slot discipline.

03 — Roadmap

3 milestones in sequence

01
Total jumps
100+ jumps + clean tracking

Before starting angle, clean tracking in every direction at controlled speed is required. Separation discipline is the real prerequisite.

02
Discipline
2-way angle coaching

With coach, 2-way jumps learning angle maintenance, distance management, deployment timing.

Cost
500–1500 €
03
Discipline
4-8 way angle camp

2-3 day camps with 8-16 flyers split in waves. Coach gives tight briefings on slot, deployment, separation. Most common format in Italy.
