The parachuting course, oriented in 3 weeks of training activities, includes theoretical-practical lessons, aimed at learning all the phases of the launch with the semi-spherical canopy parachute. The preparation, the use of materials, the behavior to be kept on board the aircraft, the correct technique to exit the aircraft, the descent with an open parachute and finally the landing, are phases that allow every military paratrooper to reach ground safely, ready to fulfill its mission.

The “Folgore” paratroopers brigade, a combat unit of the Italian Army, which has always been attentive to personnel training, uses its best resources to provide the maximum experience and competence to visitors.

The aviation launch, inserted within a military operation, is a complex activity in which cooperation and interoperability between different units allow the action to be carried out as planned.
