What is a tandem skydive?
If you decide to undertake a tandem skydive you will initially participate in a ground-training programme lasting approximately 20 minutes. This is followed by a 15-minute climb in one of the turbine aircraft to an altitude of approximately 15,000ft, followed by approximately 45 seconds in freefall and a five-minute canopy ride. Throughout the whole skydive you are attached to your instructor by a harness.
When can I jump?
As soon as you have returned your Reservation Form, Tandem Parachuting Declaration Form and Declaration of Fitness Form complete with booking deposit of £35 we will provide you with all the relevant information concerning your jump.
Where are the Airfields?
There are 25 centres across the United Kingdom; directions will follow with your jump confirmation.
What can I expect on the day?
You will arrive at your local drop zone about 08.30 (08.00 at weekends) where you will pay the drop zone the outstanding balance for your jump, £200 cash (part of your sponsored money, which you will reimburse yourself when you collect in your sponsorship money). You will then be asked to complete a British Parachute Association Membership Form and you will have a short presentation by your instructors on what you can expect. You will then undergo your training which lasts about 20 minutes.
We sincerely hope that you decide to take the plunge! It is a thrilling “once in a lifetime” experience.
There will be many other people parachuting for the first time on the day and you are welcome to bring along some friends so that they can watch you.

What is a Staticline Course?
This introductory course takes place over a weekend. Initially you will be required to undertake a ground-training programme, which lasts for a minimum of 6 hours and culminates in a written test. You will then parachute from 3,500ft using a Static Line Ram Air Canopy, which is designed to open automatically within seconds of you exiting from the aircraft. Once you have successfully completed this first jump, you can go on to follow a progression system, which prepares you to go on to freefall.

You will jump from approximately 15,000 feet with 2 highly skilled staff either side of you as you reach speeds of around 120 miles per hour!
At approximately 5,000 feet you will pull your own ripcord and deploy your main parachute. Once your parachute has opened, you will steer it and land on the drop zone. As an added precaution, you will have a microphone and earpiece so that you are in constant contact with the ground and they can guide your landing.
