Important parts like judging the distance and timing of the flare are pretty much impossible to capture on film. Video-debriefs shot from the ground - great idea in my non-instructor opinion. Many student operations - my DZ's included include 1-2 tandems as part of the progression. I think this is some really good training on what to expect.

I believe they give the passenger an altimeter to teach altitude awareness, give them a few tasks like give a signal at a set altitude. The tandem master may allow them to try a few guided things under canopy with the toggles, turns and such. I don't know how much emphasis is given on teaching landing techniques. I believe the value is in showing them what to expect. For the record my first jump was a solo and I didn't do a tandem until many jumps after that.

Well ok but winter is right around the corner and I won't be jumping till the spring and I want to have something to look at and to study till then.
And you know, just because people have done with out doesn't mean it's not good for the community. Just look at the MSF's motorcycle safety class. Sure you can skip it but if you want to ride for a long time odds are it wouldn't hurt.

I think you're making it harder than it is. Its a parachute, when the ground gets close flare. If you are that scared get a radio and ask someone to talk you down.
