Skill
FM/BS-512.V1.01 - Flaring on landing
Skill

You will need to reduce your descent rate leading to touchdown. If you fly in at high speed, the impact alone can kill or injure you. Instead, try to have a low forward speed, and in the few meters before touchdown, flare backwards. Done properly, this flaring will allow you to touch to the ground much more softly than the heavy impact a round chute would give and prevent injury.
