Fly like you understand the air.

Most coaching tells you what you're doing wrong. That's the easy part — it's on the video. The work is figuring out why, so the fix holds after the coach goes home.

  • Frame-by-frame video analysis of your flying
  • Goal setting and a tailored progression pathway
  • Targeted drills for your next tunnel or jump session
  • Freefly, belly, angles, dynamic, canopy control or competition prep
  • Coach development pathways covered too

Flyers between camps, or anyone without a coach nearby

Tunnel coaching

One-on-one or small group coaching in the tunnel. Body position is the surface problem; the work is in mechanics, airflow and what your brain is doing under load.

  • Session planned around your actual goal, not a syllabus
  • In-tunnel correction and immediate video debrief
  • Body mechanics and aerodynamics explained, not just copied
  • Mental preparation and spatial awareness work

Any level, any discipline — belly, freefly, angles, dynamic

From $300 AUD / hour Book now

Coach development

For flyers moving from being good in the air to being able to teach it. Teaching someone to fly is a different skill from flying, and most people are never taught it.

  • How to diagnose a fault rather than describe a symptom
  • Briefing and debriefing that actually changes behaviour
  • Managing risk and progression across skill levels
  • Building a coaching pathway you can run yourself

What the air is actually doing

Drag the figure to rotate it, or pick an orientation. The airflow redraws as the body turns. This is the thing coaching is really about — not the shape, but what the shape does to the air.

The approach

Why people plateau

01

The symptom isn't the cause

A leg that won't stay put might be a mechanical limit, a habit built in your first fifty jumps, or a spatial awareness gap. Those need three different fixes, and treating all of them as "arch harder" is why people stall for years.

02

Mechanics before positions

Copying a shape gets you a shape. Understanding what the air is doing to your body, and what your body is doing back, gets you something you can adapt when conditions change.

03

The head is part of the airframe

Plenty of flyers are physically capable of a move their nervous system won't let them commit to. That's a coaching problem, not a character flaw, and it's addressed directly rather than talked around.

04

Built around your goal

If it's a competition, we work backwards from the competition. If it's flying safely with your mates, we work on that instead. There's no fixed syllabus you get marched through.

Who's behind it

Mason Corby

Both coaches

Over 14,000 jumps since 2006 and more than 12,000 hours in the wind tunnel. World record holder, Atmonauti Instructor-Master Navigator No. 18, IBA Level 4 tunnel instructor, aerial display performer and Australian Army veteran.

Mason founded the Body Piloting Championships, now flown as its own category at Australian national level, and has worked alongside the Australian Parachute Federation on coaching events, regulation amendments and sport development.

That background matters for one reason: the coaching comes from someone who has had to solve these problems under real pressure, not someone repeating a syllabus.

Mason coaches in the tunnel and the sky across every level and discipline. His brother Harry, an instructor at iFLY Downunder, coaches in the tunnel from $300 an hour.
