Self-assessment

Where does your flying sit?

Answer a few questions about what you can already do, and see your flying mapped against the whole curriculum: what you have consolidated, where your working edge is, and which units are worth your next few jumps.

Start the questionnaire

Around eight minutes. No account, no email, nothing sent anywhere.

What this is

The curriculum describes 39 units across five tracks, and each one lists the things a flyer should be able to do. The questionnaire asks you about a handful of marker skills from each unit, 125 of them in total, though you will only ever see the ones that apply to you. Your answers place you on the map.

The questions are drawn straight from the units, reworded for a flyer rather than an assessor. If one does not make sense, say so: there is an option for exactly that, and it tells us the wording needs fixing.

What this is not

It is not a qualification, a crest, an endorsement or a clearance. It cannot be, because nobody has watched you fly. Assessment against a unit is a coach's judgement, made watching the jump, against every criterion, on video. What you jump remains a decision for you, your coach and the drop zone.

What it gives you is a straight answer to a hard question: of everything in freefly, what should you work on next?

Two views, side by side

Your profile shows what you say about your flying. Where a coach has assessed a unit, their view appears beside yours as a separate mark, so you can see both at once.

The two will not always agree, and that is the most useful thing on the page. Flyers routinely under-rate the things they find easy and over-rate the things they have not been tested on. Seeing the gap is how you find out which is which.

What happens to your answers

Nothing leaves your browser. Your answers stay in the tab you are using, the report is worked out on your own device, and closing the tab throws it all away. Print it or save it as a PDF if you want to keep it, and bring that to a coach.
