  5. Tracking (skydiving) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracking_(skydiving)

    Tracking and Atmonauti dives are considered by most skydivers (wingsuiting notwithstanding) to go the furthest towards the feeling of ‘true flight’ due to the large horizontal distances covered, the low terminal velocity, and the fact that at such heights the ground does not appear to be approaching at all. [3]

  6. Parachuting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachuting

    For human skydiving, there is often a phase of free fall (the skydiving segment), where the parachute has not yet been deployed and the body gradually accelerates to terminal velocity. In cargo parachuting, the parachute descent may begin immediately, such as a parachute- airdrop in the lower atmosphere of Earth , or it may be significantly ...
