What is the correct procedure for recovering from instability to the belly-to-earth position?

The correct procedure for recovering from instability to the belly-to-earth position involves a series of movements that help regain control and stabilize your body position during freefall.

The best method begins with ensuring that you maintain awareness of your altitude so you can act quickly and safely. Arching your back is a crucial component, as this position helps to present a larger surface area to the airflow, which is essential for stability. By keeping your legs together, you reduce drag and align your body properly for aerodynamic stability. Finally, relaxing your body is important because tensing up can lead to further instability. By staying relaxed, you allow the airflow to help guide you back into the stable belly-to-earth position more effectively.

This combination of techniques addresses the need for both physical positioning and mental readiness, which are essential for safely managing freefall dynamics and ensuring effective recovery.
