Accuracy
Presentation
One of the oldest skydiving disciplines consists of trying to land as close as possible to a 3 cm target.
The accuracy jumpers leave the plane at 1 000 meters and work on their approach so that in the final phase of landing they are facing the wind, slightly above the target, restraining the canopy in order to control it's every movement very precisely. The target is an electronic device mesuring up to 16 cm from its center.
Accuracy is practiced individually as well as in teams of four. The score of the team is the total distance of each individual jump.
The World Record is 14 dead centers in a row (Sergueï Vertiprakhov, Russia).
