Wingsuits are very popular at Skydive Utah, and we enjoy seeing them on the dropzone. However, wingsuits also carry a particular responsibility for jumprun.

Prior to boarding the aircraft wearing a wingsuit:
~Notify Manifest of your intention to jump a wingsuit
~Notify the pilot of your intention to jump wearing a wingsuit so that he might notify others that you are in the area, and modify his descent.
~Declare a "Wingsuit-Left" or "Wingsuit-Right" pattern prior to exiting the aircraft so that the pilot and tandems may know where you'll be flying. If more than one wingsuit stick is exiting, each group should declare different directions.

You may not buzz tandems! Fly away from jump run and away from areas where groups or individuals may be deploying canopies.

Below are diagrams showing both Wingsuit Left/Right flight patterns, defined by direction of jump-run.

Wingsuit-LEFT pattern. When exiting the aircraft, you will fly to the left perpendicular to jumprun, regardless of whether jumprun is north or south bound. Allow for at least 10 seconds of flight towards the mountains before turning, in order to avoid canopy or other freefall traffic. Click the image above for a larger view.
