TranSitions in the tunnel can be defined as movements that begin and end in stable, neutral flight and either change or pass through different body attitudes or orientations.
TranSitions can be categorized in two ways: by discipline or difficulty. The disciplines are Belly, Back Fly, Sit Fly and Head Down. The difficulty of the tranSitions can be categorized as Basic, Intermediate, Advanced and Expert. For example, as part of earning an "Advanced Belly Fly" checkbox, a flyer would have to learn the advanced, Belly fly tranSition shown in the chart below.
Each tranSition is also rated on its complexity for an instructor to spot and is defined as a Level I (yellow), Level II (blue), Level III (green), or Level IV (purple) tranSition. Flyers may only learn tranSitions while being spotted by an appropriately rated instructor. For example, as part of earning an "Advanced Belly Fly" checkbox, a flyer would have to learn the advanced, Belly fly tranSition while under the supervision of a "Level III Instructor," since it is a "Level III TranSition." Once a flyer is signed off for a particular tranSition they are free to do it while under the supervision of ANY instructor.
