How to Become a Wingsuit Pilot Step by Step Explained

[@woaromdatten3733]

In Europa, an AAD is mandatory. Also don't forget to mention a long bridle or a bigger pilote chute for avoiding the burble behind the wingsuit.

[@SalvadorChangg]

Thanks for the info

[@ectomonstro2028]

You are great at wing suit flying but even better KZbinr and motivational speaker , you inspire me as your videos keep getting better and better ! Regards from St Petersburg/FL

[@SalvadorChangg]

Truly appreciate all the support and kind words! I’m just trying to make a positive impact before my time here is up… you only get on shot, one opportunity, so let’s make it count!! Thanks again for the motivation EvtoMonstro

[@cameronclarke9143]

Stoked to be watching you do it my friend. If you find yourself in Switzerland for Wingsuit Base come say hey! See our Circus show ;)

[@SalvadorChangg]

Trust me that’s the goal and where I’m headed!! I’m sure we’ll cross paths here soon!

[@Saltlife386]

I live in New Smyrna Beach and watch you regularly. You are very humble and positive. I made my first jump last year. I'm terrified of heights but have an insane urge to pursue my license. I'm afraid my adrenaline and anxiety will pump so hard I will loose the ability to focus on altitude and protocol. Did you experience this when you first started? You seem high energy and metabolism like myself. Ty

[@SalvadorChangg]

I’d say it’s the opposite, when my adrenaline is pumping my senses are heightened. For instance when I was BASE jumping it was a joke that people can hear the grass growing when they jump. It’s like having super powers. Haha 😂

[@andyhwell8419]

Go for it. You live near 2 of the coolest drop zones in the world. Deland and Sebastian. Bring a friend to make it easier. I know it will be hard to talk a friend into it....So meet other newbies at the DZ and grow together. LIFE CHANGING!

[@kylehonsey2057]

When I did my tandem my chest got tight and I had a hard time breathing. I was freaking out even though I enjoyed every second. Just started Aff 2 months later, did ground school and my first two jumps on Sunday. I was altitude aware, followed hand signals and had no chest tightness/ trouble breathing on either jump. GO FOR IT!!

[@silaslathrop3579]

that's some great info Bro 🤘.. can't wait to get there next summer got Fam in Deltona. stay safe with that weather y'all got coming in 🤘 ..

[@bmac615]

Great job, Sal! We’ll have to fly together next time I’m in DeLand :)

[@SalvadorChangg]

You already know I’m game for that, I have my ATC3 now so the game just got even better

[@JohnnySnipes]

Needed that little speech at the end! you the man sal

[@SalvadorChangg]

Just trying to share what would help me. Shiittt I need to hear that message sometimes too haha we all could use motivation every now and again! Just send it! Glad it helped Haha loving the FPV on your IG lately, keep killing it

[@IDALBOE]

Bro i didn’t even notice you cut your hair and now that i see your last couple thumbnails i just noticed it lol. looks good! when im older im not really much of a wingsuit fan. i’ll definitely do it but im more freestyle doing tricks in the air. good informal video though! i learned a lot! also the end is very motivational!

[@SalvadorChangg]

Big Dallas!! I see you updated your profile picture. Almost didn’t recognize you! Hope you’re doing well!! And yeah wingsuit flight isn’t for everyone but skydiving in generics tons of fun regardless of the discipline

[@Ian-j1o]

this was super helpful!

[@ryanr421]

Nice video as always brotha. Glad to see that you got yourself an AAD on your rigg now!!! Can't wait for my first (case of beer) Boogie coming up this weekend at Skydive Elsinore!!! I also get to use my Chef skills, volunteering to help cook the breakfast for a fundraiser with my veteran buddys @Sky Tribe...

[@SalvadorChangg]

That sounds awesome man, what’s the name of the boogie and I’ve heard there’s a ton of wingsuit pilots out there at Elsinore, is that true? I’m going to have to take a trip out to Cali soon to fly with y’all!!

[@ryanr421]

@@SalvadorChangg oh and yes my brotha, there are a ton of flying squirrels!!!! Lol 🤘🪂🤘

[@GHOSTofBc]

Great vid like always Sal, don’t forget all the extra gear to go skydiving. 🤙🏼

[@SalvadorChangg]

Roger that! Trust me I won’t, appreciate the feedback!

[@jwillard911]

1350-1450$ is common for AFF(1-7) and 2350-2500$ common for A license package jump 1-25

[@SalvadorChangg]

Exactly, thank you

[@ruannortje8722]

Andrey is at our local dz Skydive pretoria, super cool guy 🤘

[@SalvadorChangg]

That’s awesome! He seems like a great guy and a very experienced jumper

[@John-ps6ce]

Man, your videos are great to watch. Much more fun than others, and more educational as well. I wish I were down there with you so I could do my AFF instead of being stuck up here in gloomy old Oregon where it's too late and it's going to start raining in no time and won't stop until next May. Shoot. At least we have a nearby wind tunnel to practice in this winter. Shucks. At least I have a new job I'm looking forward to. Damn. Oh well- I'll be ok. Just a tad on the envious side, damn it. But hey, I can save my dough and be ready for next season- that's pretty cool, huh? No. No no no. I WANNA JUMP OUT OF AIRPLANES ALL WINTER LONG, GOL DARN IT! OK, OK- I'll take a deep breath... ...okay- I feel better now. NOT!!!

[@SalvadorChangg]

Take a flight! You can do anything and move any where you want. You’re not stuck :)

[@John-ps6ce]

@@SalvadorChangg Do you guys jump year round in DeLand? If so, maybe I will take a flight. Appreciate your feedback.

[@rickdiaz100]

Good Information!

[@anthonyngooo]

hey man been binging your videos (thinking about doing my first tandem jump soon). love the message at the end and your enthusiasm in general. that being said, I'm wondering if I could actually hop on a quick zoom call n do a short interview with you to talk more about how you got into this sport/life/career paths.

[@SalvadorChangg]

[@paridemarinelli7222]

Dope content mate as always 🤙🏻 talking about money, can you actually make a decent living working as a full time packer like you do?

[@SalvadorChangg]

If I had a video covering; 1. How much money you can make as a packer 3. How to become a packer & FAA Rigger 4. How to pack a parachute (detail) 5. What different types of parachutes you’ll pack (120+, Sub 120, Tandems) 6. Freedom and flexibility How much would that be worth to you? How much would you pay for a video like that? I get this question all the time. Thinking about creating a course / videos on it.

[@paridemarinelli7222]

@@SalvadorChangg do you instead actually pay to jump on first/last load as a packer?

[@abnNutsack82]

What are the gs like

[@SalvadorChangg]

Not bad at all. And you can control how heavy they are with how aggressive you turn

[@MilipTichaelPhomas]

you look similar to my son

[@nickid113]

how much is your life worth? don't skimp out on quality gear and training. don't be cheap; it's your life.

[@SalvadorChangg]

Thanks dad

[@nickid113]

@@SalvadorChangg welcome son. but the comment was really for other people who is considering the sport and projecting their budget.

[@nickid113]

@@SalvadorChangg great motivation talk at the end by the way.

[@quanfantastic4831]

Before I started I told the lady I wanted to pay for my AFF course already. She said to see if I like it first but I already knew I would 😂😂😂😂 so i’m excited for my second jump Saturday and definitely committed to the sport. I have a question tho. I had a hard time breathing during the free fall. (A lot of people say it was nerves but I promise I was calm for every part of the jump. Even when we did the countdown before actually jumping out) I do believe it was Hard to breath because I remember I was looking down. Maybe if I put my chin up, I would breath better? Hope you answer bro. I know this is a long one lmaoo.

[@captainHunter]

Bullshit ! I’ll buy wingsuit tomorrow. Who gon stop me ?

Breath! You wanne win a price for talk fast?😅
