Centre Float
The centre float exit position can be used with the other jumper either inside or outside of the
aircraft. The job of the centre float is one of controlling the exit and this slot would normally initiate
the count.
Position in the door
Climb out and assume a position in the centre of the door. Hold the bar/rail with both hands and
get balanced with your centre of mass over your right foot. Get presented by trailing your left leg.
If you are launching a 2-way linked exit with a front float, take the front floater's right arm grip with
your left hand. Other exits may require the other jumpers to take up grips on you.
On exit
If you are giving the count, ensure that the other jumper is ready and get eye contact. As you exit,
push off with your right foot and get your hips away from the door. Think presentation and
maintain eye contact.
