Canopy Formation Skydiving , also called CReW (Canopy Relative Work), is practiced with an opens canopy.
There are three disciplines in competition:
- Sequence Canopy Formation Skydiving: in a team of
4, it’s a matter of performing a serie of 4 or 5 figures drawn from a
pre-defined program. Once the last figure has been performed, the cycle
restarts. Each performed figure is worth a point and the jump is judged
in 2 minutes 30. The exit altitude is 2000 meters.
- 4-Way Rotation Canopy Formation Skydiving: in a team of 4,
the team-mates form a pile with their canopies. Then the one on top
leaves the formation to join it at the bottom. Each rotation is worth a
point and the jump is judged in 1 minute 30. The exit altitude at 2000
meters.
- 8-Way Speed Canopy Formation Skydiving : 8 team-mates have
to perform a pre-defined figure as fast as possible, in a 2 minutes
time limit. The score consists of the added times from the different
rounds. Exit altitude at 2500 meters.
