2019 Australian & New Zealand Canopy Piloting Nationals

Parachutists are taking to Perth’s skies to battle for national glory as the 2019 Australian & New Zealand Canopy Piloting Nationals lands in York this April.

Canopy pilots from across the nation will compete in intermediate and open categories, with the 27 winners across the four-day championship, taking the title and honour of representing Australia in the upcoming World Championships in South Africa this year.

Run by Australian Parachute Federation and Skydive Australia, a large contingent of supporters, judges, officials, sponsors and spectators will descend on Avon Valley for the final dive division of this significant national competition.

The canopy championship will capitalise on weather conditions, with each competitor jumping in three rounds each of speed, distance and accuracy—for a total of nine rounds.
