The PD Navigator is Performance Designs' forgiving student main canopy for training, novice progression, DZ fleets, and conservative flying. It is the canopy to look at when you want predictable openings, easy handling, and durability — not a fast or aggressive sport wing.

Who it is for

• Student programs and DZ fleets that need a durable canopy for repeated training use.
• Novice jumpers who have been advised to stay on a very forgiving wing.
• Conservative pilots who value docile behaviour over performance.
• Demo setups where a larger, forgiving canopy is useful.

Why customers choose it

PD designed the Navigator to forgive common student mistakes, especially imperfect body position on deployment and early or late flare timing. It is easy to pack, durable, and built to support clean training progression.

Key details

• Sizes: 200, 220, 240, 260, 280, and 300 sq ft.
• Design: 9-cell main canopy.
• Fabric: combination of zero-porosity and low-porosity fabric.

Before you order

Choose the Navigator size from real exit weight, the official PD chart, the training plan, DZ rules, and container fit. For student equipment, confirm the final setup with the responsible instructor, canopy coach, rigger, or drop zone before ordering.

Use stock if the right size is available and speed matters. Use clearance if your size is available at a discount. Choose custom if you need a specific colour layout or no suitable stock canopy is listed.
