Custom VR Parachute Training:
Built for Military, Drop Zones, and Entertainment Venues
*our software works on any VR-ready PC and integrates with your hardware
Canopy Pilot builds custom virtual reality parachute training simulators that run on any VR-ready PC and integrate with your hardware. Military training programs, drop zones, and location-based entertainment venues use our simulators to teach real canopy-flight skills safely before a student’s first live jump
What Canopypilot is:
Canopypilot is a VR/XR skydiving and parachute flight training simulator. Our proprietary physics engine models real canopy behavior — flare timing, wind response, landing patterns — so trainees can make and learn from real mistakes without the risk of a real jump. The simulator runs standalone on a PC and VR headset, or integrates with a harness rig for full-body training.
Military Training Programs:
Canopy Pilot is used in military parachute training programs across two G7 nations through our partnership with Flight-1 Technologies. [Confirm exact country count/names before publishing — not yet verified against a source I have access to.] The simulator lets training staff run repeatable, measurable canopy scenarios — wind conditions, altitude, drop zone terrain — without the cost or scheduling constraints of live jumps.

For Drop Zones and Instructors
Instructors at drop zones including Aerohio, Pennsylvania Skydive Center, West Virginia Skydivers, and Skydive Vancouver Island use Canopy Pilot to train students on canopy navigation before they’re in the air.
Darlene Kellner
As a skydiving center operator of 42 years (https://www.paskydive.com/), utilizing VR for canopy flight training has been game changing. The incredible realism of the VR allows the students to make the same mistakes they used to make on their beginning solo jumps but learn from those mistakes without getting injured!
Brian Germain
Author of The Parachute and its Pilot, the Ultimate Guide for the Ram Air Aviator: “Navigation is the part of the skydive that so many new canopy pilots struggle with. This amazing simulator helps so magnificently with this very aspect of parachute flight, with realistic physics and great visuals.”
