STATIC LINE SKYDIVING
Static Line training is the “traditional” method of learning how to skydive. On your first jump - and at least the next seven - a static line attached to the aeroplane automatically opens your parachute. You concentrate on maintaining a good body position while practising pulling a ripcord. With the aid of your ground instructor, you will learn the art of “canopy control” - guiding your big, gentle parachute to a safe landing on the Drop Zone.

When your jumpmaster says you are ready, you will graduate to Freefall, where you will pull your own ripcord. Our training program then moves you at your own pace through each jump from increasingly higher altitudes, learning additional skills that you will need as a skydiver

You need to make a reservation for your place on the Static Line First Jump course. You will be expected to attend the ground school training which takes about 4 hours of a weekday evening and weather conditions permitting, you will make your first jump on the Saturday following your Ground School training.

ACCELERATED FREEFALL SKYDIVING
Accelerated Freefall (AFF) is the fast track program designed to turn you into a competent skydiver in the shortest period of time.

On your first jump, two highly experienced and specially trained instructors will hold your parachute harness as you exit the plane and experience nearly a 30-second free fall. They will be at your side to coach, assist, and evaluate your performance. After you open your square parachute you will land with pinpoint accuracy on the airfield.

Subsequent AFF training “Levels” is designed to add to your skills and self-confidence by adding a skill or technique as you progress through each level. From level Four, you will just have one Instructor and you can be “off instruction” and qualified as a novice skydiver in ten jumps or less. When you graduate, you will have aerial skills that would have taken dozens or even hundreds of jumps to learn via the old conventional method of skydiving.

There is a 100kg-weight limit. Payment is required full for the first jump on the date of booking. All other jumps can be paid for in cash at the drop zone when you return to jump again.
