[ APF ] [ FAI ]

    There are rules and regulations for CRW safety & training requirements, and for competition & performance requirements.

    In general, most federations adopt the competition rules developed by the FAI, but there may be some local variation. So check the FAI rules for international competitions and your national parachuting federation for local competition, general safety, & training regulations. 

    I have split the rules & regulations as follows:

1. BASIC CRW COMPETITION RULES. This is the most relevant to competitors. If you want rules about particular competitive disciplines, go to:

   • 4 Way Rotations - APF - FAI
   • 4 Way Sequential - APF - FAI
   • 8 Way Speed - APF - FAI
   • 2 Way Sequential - APF - FAI

2. GENERAL CRW COMPETITION RULES. This is more relevant to team managers & captains. If you want generic CRW competition rules, videography, judging, etc, go to:

   • Australian CRW Competition Rules
   • International (FAI) CRW Competition Rules

3. CRW SPECIFIC REGULATIONS - SAFETY & COMPETITION. If you want rules  about training tables, general CRW safety, records, national team selection, etc, go to:

   • Australian Operational Regulations & Sporting Code
   • FAI General & Parachuting Sporting Code

4. COMPLETE PARACHUTING REGULATIONS. If you want to know the complete regulations relating to parachuting, go to the links on this page:

    The FAI Sporting Code deals with three major areas:

1. organised sporting events such as championships and competitions,
2. records, 
3. validation of specified performances for Certificates of Proficiency or badges.
