What is a body-pilot / body-flight?A body-pilot is someone who has the ability to fly his or her body with absolute control and intent, through the vertical airflow that is produced in free-fall. Through added awareness of aerodynamics and body mechanics, a body-pilot is capable of maneuvering through the air on his or her belly, as well as their back, feet, and head. When these four basic neutral positions of flight are learned, and the transitions between them understood, a new dimensions of flight is unveiled that allows the flyer to explore a seemingly endless amount of possibilities. I believe that it is crucial that one should not limit themselves in their practice of flight by adhering to labels such as “freeflying” or “formation flying”. Take an interest in all flight, and you will notice that they all compliment each other.
