Parachute Jump Simulator PSVR-04
The Parachute Jump Simulator PSVR-04 has been designed to enhance the real level of safety in the skydiving training process. It is one of the products developed as part of the Integrated Parachute Training Assistance System project PSSP-01 carried out by PILC Ltd.
Our simulator operates based on mathematical models of parachutes developed using data recorded during real skydiving jumps. We have made every effort to ensure that phenomena such as canopy control, braking, landing, and navigation are accurately represented to facilitate learning correct responses related to parachute control. Thanks to collaboration with numerous skydiving centers throughout Poland, instructors, and also the Civil Aviation Authority, we are proud to present the results of this collaboration. We strongly believe that the efforts of our team will contribute to improving the safety of skydiving operations.
The optimized design allows for a realistic representation of sensations associated with skydiving, particularly through full visualization using virtual reality goggles, replicating the jumper’s position and landing, as well as wind momentum. Its mobility and entirely Polish construction are significant advantages, allowing us to guarantee that it can be utilized even in small skydiving training centers.
It is equipped with many solutions that are proprietary, innovative developments, for which an experienced project team is responsible. This team comprises individuals with years of experience in aviation training, designing onboard systems, and electronic systems for aviation.

During practical training, a significant portion of time is devoted to parachute preparation, airplane flight, and, in the case of landing in rough terrain, returning to the airfield. By using the simulator, you can save time! Using it in training, ascending to altitude takes only a few seconds, and returning to the airfield requires just a few clicks. After just a few jumps, the student is able to develop “muscle memory” associated with parachute control.
To train practically, you must pay attention to weather conditions, but you never have certainty that all theoretical knowledge has been conveyed in a way that can be applied in practice. Using a simulator in training allows you to practice tasks related to emergency situations during flight, such as line twists, partial canopy inflation, or stalls. Additionally, it is possible to train navigational tasks, practice round planning, all in weather conditions of your choice (taking into account the influence of wind and gusts on parachute behavior). However, to start, you will put your theoretical knowledge to the test by familiarizing yourself with the components of the parachute system, training flight with an open canopy, and steering skills.
We designed the simulator to be usable in the maximum number of training centers possible without the need for infrastructure expansion. Its height and width allow for easy utilization in rooms with a minimum height of 2.8 meters. Folding/unfolding takes about 20 minutes with two trained individuals. With its wheels, you can move it to the desired training location, and once folded, it can be easily transported using a delivery VAN. The key considerations include a stable surface, protection from moisture, and ensuring lighting conditions suitable for the use of VR goggles.
You’re already well-trained, but want to take it to the next level? Try your hand at tasks related to group skydiving. By using our simulators for training, you can practice tasks such as precision landing, building and flying in formation, as well as landing at a spot designated by the leader. With our instructor station you can connect up to 10 simulators to perform group jumps.
In airborne training, it’s very difficult for the instructor to correct the student’s mistakes, and sometimes it’s impossible. Thanks to training using our simulator, it’s possible to provide ongoing instruction to the trainee about their mistakes, correct their harness position, familiarize them with steering, and correct behaviors. Additionally, you can use prepared test scenarios aligned with the training tasks required by the Civil Aviation Authority. Most importantly, at the initial stage, you can determine whether the student’s skills are sufficient to undertake practical airborne training without too much risk.
Skydiving is an adventure that engages the senses. Simulation will never be reality, but we can bring you closer to the sensations experienced in a real flight. First, we’ll enchant you with what you’ll see through virtual reality goggles. Najlepsze scenerie, changing weather conditions and the sensation of flight. Of course, this enchantment wouldn’t be effective without the developed suspension system and the wind simulation using fans available in our simulators. Thanks to them, not only will you feel like you’re flying once the simulation begins, but you’ll also have the opportunity to feel what it’s like to land! The most challenging part of the enchantment was replicating the properties of parachutes. Over 2 years of work, flight research, recording, consultations with instructors allowed us to gain experience and create simulation models of parachutes that behave like those in reality. There’s just one last enchantment left, one that will immerse you in the simulation… That’s the area where you can conduct training. In our simulators, you have the ability to make a jump from anywhere on Earth. Perhaps you’ll recognize your city from the air?
If you think there aren’t enough skydivers in the area to justify having a simulator, we can assure you that there are many people who would like to use it. We have tested our simulators at numerous public showcases,including fairs and events, and we are confident that they are an excellent addition to these occasions. The simulators can be successfully used by older individuals, children (with parental consent and supervision), as well as individuals in wheelchairs.
“If you think that training using the simulator alone is not enough, we have important news for you. Our simulator integrates with the other components of the PSSP-01 system. You can recreate in virtual reality a jump that you recorded with the GUARDA recorder, and in the case of using the transmission system and the instructor station you will be able to analyze the flight progress in real-time, change conditions, and receive warnings about incorrect flight parameters (e.g., excessive rate of descent or insufficient glide range to reach the airfield).
Our team has dedicated years to acquire the knowledge necessary to develop the presented simulator. You, the simulator user, are our top priority. Only you can tell us what you need for the effective implementation of the simulator in your facility. From our side, we declare the ability to customize according to individual orders:
- custom scenery based on your guidelines,
- dedicated simulation models based on flight research data.
Furthermore, we will assist you if you want to install your own harness or cover for jumps.
