This section explains the procedures to follow at the boarding area.


When you are fully equipped, you can go to the boarding area. You can take the opportunity to do one last practice of your jump. At the boarding area it's also time to do your pre-boarding check. Perform your 4-points check and ask your instructor to check your closing pins and perform a radio check. Make sure one last time that you have everything you need.
