The TI course has the steepest learning curve. If you think about it, strapping a stranger to yourself and using a rig that is twice as complicated as a normal one does not make any sense! Only those who have done it can really appreciate its beauty and fun.
During the course, you’ll feel like a student again. It feels awkward, the gear is complicated, you’re scared and anxious, but tandem after tandem you get more and more comfortable all the way to the point where you’re now a master in a new discipline, tandem skydiving!
The course is heavily focused on gear and procedures – knowing the gear, memorizing and being proficient with standard and emergency procedures, and then readapting the flying skills you already have to this tandem environment.
