Telure Standard 2026.1
The Telure Standard for a indoor skydiving tunnel
A versioned, Telure-curated program of checks for a indoor skydiving tunnel, written in Telure’s own words and organized by how the facility actually runs: the daily rhythm first, then the recurring program above it. It is a documented reference the facility measures its own work against and records reasons against, not a certification. The basis register below shows what informs it, and at what depth.
Alignment tracker
Inside Telure, this list is an alignment tracker a facility turns on with a checkbox. The recurring program below is its clause list, informed by the manufacturer's manual and general safety practice, because no consensus operational standard exists for this facility type. The facility matches its own tasks, checklist items and training items to the clauses they cover, marks the clauses that do not apply with a written reason, and its exports state what share of the rest has a check behind it.
This tracker is Telure's own clause list, informed by the organization's published document. It does not replace reading that document yourself and verifying your facility against it, and marking a clause here is a note on your own record, not a statement by that organization. Where equipment is involved, the manufacturer's documentation governs.
The daily rhythm
Opening walk
Walked before the doors open, item by item, each answer attributed to the person who gave it. The starting set for a indoor skydiving tunnel:
- Net surface walked before first flight: no tears, chafe, or debris
- Net attachment points and tension cables visually clear at the perimeter
- Chamber and door glass clean: no chips or cracks
- Door seals seat fully; interlock confirmed before spin-up
- Entry and exit padding in place and secure
- Morning spin-up: no unusual noise or vibration from the drive bays
- Rental helmets cycled; liners dry, visors seat and latch
- Flight suits checked; zippers run full length, no torn cuffs
- Driver–instructor communication set tested before first session
- First aid kit stocked; AED accessible
During hours
Anything flagged during the day opens a corrective entry on the spot: the item, the finding, and who saw it. Taking equipment or an area out of service is a recorded event with a name attached, and so is returning it. Nothing waits for the end of the shift to become a record.
Closing check
The end-of-day counterpart every facility runs: securing the space and making sure nothing the day surfaced dies overnight.
- Activity areas clear: no members left inside
- Hazards cleared from floors and landing surfaces
- Equipment secured, stowed, or powered down per procedure
- Today's flagged items have maintenance entries opened
- First aid and rescue equipment restocked if used today
- Exits clear; doors, gates and access points secured
The recurring program
The work above the daily walk. Each task surfaces on the day it is due and escalates as it goes overdue. Where a check addresses a published designation, the citation chip names it; a chip is a reference, never a compliance claim.
Weekly
Net wear & tension inspection
Walk the net panel by panel: chafe at seams, broken strands, attachment-point wear, and tension against the manufacturer's spec. Record findings against the net's equipment record. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Door, seal & interlock function check
Cycle each chamber and staging door: seals seat fully, latches hold, and interlocks prevent spin-up with a door open. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Rental gear hygiene & condition cycle
Cycle the rental wall: helmet liners and straps, visor latches, suit zippers and cuffs, goggle straps and lenses. Sanitize, and record which units were pulled. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Monthly
Drive & fan bay walkdown
Walk each drive bay: mounts, guards, visible cable runs, debris, and any noise or vibration change worth reporting to the manufacturer. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Chamber padding & glass inspection
Inspect entry and exit padding, wall pads at the door line, and chamber glass for chips, delamination, and loose trim. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Quarterly
Instructor rating & currency review
Review every active instructor's ratings and currency against the credentialing bodies your programs answer to; schedule renewals before anything lapses. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
addressing IBA instructor rating programEmergency stop & flyer-recovery drill
Run the emergency-stop sequence and a flyer-recovery drill with staff on shift; record who participated and what was rehearsed. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Every 6 months
Spare net & critical spares review
Confirm the spare net's condition and storage, plus critical spares stock (door seals, visors, comm sets) against the manufacturer's list. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Yearly
Annual manufacturer service & inspection
Full service of the drive stack, cables, net system, and doors by the manufacturer's technicians; file the service report against this task. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
The basis register
What informs this pack, at what reference depth, and when each entry was last checked against its source. An entry here means the pack is informed by the document named; it never means the pack, or any facility using it, is certified to or compliant with it.
| Source | Tier | Jurisdiction | Access | Verified |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| International Bodyflight Association rating and training frameworkInternational Bodyflight AssociationFlyer progression and instructor rating framework. Not a published facility-operations standard: operational detail for a wind tunnel lives in the tunnel manufacturer's documentation. | Tier 4Trade association practices | International | Member access | Checked 2026-08-31 |
| Manufacturer documentation for installed equipmentOperator-supplied manuals, bulletins and service documents. Where any pack cadence differs from a manufacturer's documented interval, the manufacturer's interval governs. | Tier 5Manufacturer documentation | n/a | Operator-supplied | Not independently verified |
No consensus operational standard currently exists for indoor skydiving operations. The entries above ground specific slices of the program (workplace safety for staff, sport rules, published guidance); the rest of the pack is Telure's own curated practice, and is stated as such.
The manufacturer’s documentation governs
Where a manufacturer's documentation sets an inspection type or an interval for a piece of equipment, that documentation governs. The pack's cadences are a program to build on, not a replacement: when the two differ, Telure shows the difference so it can be seen and documented, and the recorded schedule follows the manufacturer.
Where Telure stands
The Telure Standard is Telure's own curated program. Telure is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or licensed by any standards body or association named here, and adopting the Telure Standard does not make a facility compliant with, approved under, or certified to any standard. Where equipment is involved, the manufacturer's documentation governs inspection types and intervals.
