Formation Skydiving Progression Manual - British Parachute ...

Rear Float
The rear float exit position is used when both jumpers decide to exit from a position in the door,
which is outside the aircraft. On a 2-way, the other jumper would be in the centre float position in
the centre of the door.
Position in the door
Climb out and assume a position at the rear of the door and wait for the centre float to get into
position. Once the C.F. is in position take their right arm grip then, for practice, hang down as low
as possible with your right arm fully extended. Trail your left leg and get presented.
On exit
Look up at the C.F. and watch for the count. As the count comes move with the C.F. but as your
job on exit is to be lower than C.F. think about exiting slightly earlier than C.F. Also, as your
placement should be lower than the C.F. on exit, all you have to do is release your hold of the bar
rail and drop straight down. Think presentation and maintain eye contact.
