Accuracy Landings

Jumping from 3,000 feet, competitors attempt to land on a 2cm disc situated on an electronic recording surface. Distance from the disc is measured in centimetres up to 16cm. The aggregate distance over a number of rounds denotes placement with the lowest total distance placed first.

This is the oldest of the competitive disciplines, where parachute development has enabled competitors to achieve greater accuracy.  In the early 1990s  the disc was 10cm in diameter.  The diameter of the disc has decreased considerably since then:  today’s top competitors train and compete with a 2cm disc.
