Congratulations 👏🏼 to Drew on achieving his FS1 qualification at Skydive Ireland today!

Formation Skydiving 1 (FS1) is usually obtained soon after achieving your A-license and will enable you to jump with any other FS1 qualified jumper.

FS1 teaches you how to fly relative to other people in free fall (moving up/ down, forwards/ backwards, taking grips etc). It’s also the minimum set of belly to Earth (flat) skills which are required to skydive safely with other people.
