01 — Overview

What it actually is

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.

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

Kit specifics

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