Lightning Flight

Become a Coach

For experienced wingsuiters who would like to start on a path of instruction and leadership, Taya Weiss runs wingsuit coach rating courses recognized by Squirrel (although the knowledge is applicable to all brands). The goal of the initial rating course is certifying you to teach the Lightning Flight First Flight Course. Once you become certified, you gain access to online resources, mentorship, and continuing education. You will receive a Sigma Wingsuit Coach Merit when you pass the course.
