Canopy Control: 60 minutes

1.	When jumping in a group of six or larger, be sure to choose groups of skdivers that are appropriate for your canpy skills. Large groups fulls of swoopers or highly inexperienced canopy pilots can be surprisingly and suddenly dangerous. Use a coach or other experienced jumpers to progress in RW skill, not a big way.
