We have 2 different companies who provide insurance, both cost 90,00 € and offer a 365 days coverage, both can be subscribed at the dropzone and will grant you the right to jump starting from the next midnight after payment (the next jumping day will be ok)

There will be 4 different sets of reference points and every set will be angled by 45° from the previous one.
The reference points sets will be placed close to the landing zone in order to been used in both directions. This will allow the competitors to have 8 different lane directions by memorizing 4 set of reference points only.
<<performance competitors warning>> Due to their placement it is highly probable that reference points will be overshot during the performance. Each competitor is supposed to build their own next reference points during their flight.
Official reference points coordinates and recent pictures will be uploaded and updated on the official competition website https://wingsuitworldcup2019.com
In the provided example, the set aligned N-S will be used for E-W lanes, but the same set will be used to align W-E lanes too.
All the sets of reference points together
East to West lanes
West to East lanes (same reference points as before)
