Fortunately, there are quite a few ways to tell if you’re overflying a mountain or not. It’s easy to get caught up in what route to take or how much snow you should expect based on conditions at home or on the hill. You need to know if you’re overflying so that you can correct course and avoid taking unnecessary risks. Here are some ways to tell: If You’re Overflying, Take Extra Precautions When Landing If possible, try to avoid flying that day. If that’s not possible, at least try to land as close as possible to a populated area where rescuers and first responders are available. Do not fly if it is windy – this will increase the risk of skydiving going astray. Also, be sure your gear is in good shape before jumping into the air for the day. Your parachute needs time to unfold and perform properly before trying it out on challenging terrain. Check out our article on what to do if you get tangled in your parachute . If you do choose to jump from a mountain, here are some extra precautions you should take into consideration: 1) Practice proper downwind landings (DLs) ahead of time. DLs are when you land after being ascending or descending for an amount of time. The closer you can practice performing DLs beforehand, the easier they will be on landing day without any nervousness about losing control of your plane due its unfamiliar surroundings and elements.

Take Extra Precautions When Landing

One of the most important things you can do to avoid overflying is to take extra precautions while landing. practiced DLs ahead of time, you reduce the risk of getting too low and skidding off the mountainside. Take extra care when performing a hard landing or touchdown because the ground is usually cold and hard, though it can be hard to tell if this is the case at night.

Avoid Night Flights

Many people get turned off by the idea of night flights because of the idea of being too tired to see the view or because of the risk of not being able to see if there are any rescue teams in the area. The reality is there is no better time to jump from a mountain than at night because there’s less light coming from the sky and less chance of people watching. While there are some exceptions, for the most part you’re more likely to get a response from people at night than in the day. If you’re interested in trying out night flying, make sure you practice a few times before going out.

Stay in the Right Airspace

One of the main reasons you want to stay in the right airspace while jumping from a mountain is because of the potential for getting caught in trees or other obstacles while flying too low. You don’t want to get tangled in your parachute or hurt yourself, so staying in the right airspace is crucial. While most skydives go over mountain ranges with few if any trees, that’s not always the case. Sometimes people jump in forests or in other parts of the world where trees are more common. You need to make sure you stay clear of trees and other obstacles when you’re in the air because doing so will help prevent getting tangled in your parachute or hurt.

Don’t Take Risks You Just Can’t Back Out Of

Choosing the right risks is crucial to being a successful skydiver. You need to make sure you’re willing to take risks that could lead to having a bad day or even a bad season. If you’re not willing to take a chance on getting hurt or having an off day, then don’t jump. But you don’t need to take unnecessary risks just because you like to.

Get a Rescue App on Your Phone

One of the best ways to avoid getting overshot by a plane is to get a rescue app on your phone. This will let you know in real time where the nearest rescue team is and give you the option to call for help. While you can’t be sure when a rescue team will be available, it’s better than waiting for hours with no way to help yourself.
