About Ronnie

Bio

Training my skydive students is a lifelong passion, to help them gain the knowledge and experience so they land safely in the middle of the designated landing area. After producing a VR parachute flight experience for the French Parachute Federation in the Paris Olympic Village, I now know people like flying virtual parachutes for fun, so we now serve the Location-Based Entertainment industry.

Elevator Pitch

Learning to fly your parachute should not have to hurt. We enable you to teach your students how to practice collecting relevant info and making wise decisions under the canopy. Repetition of best practices under instructor supervision is the core value provided by the airline pilot simulation training industry.
