Static line/ One-jump courses
ONE JUMP RAM AIR STATIC LINE COURSES
Recommended for those who have a possible interest in continuing with the sport. This also gives heavier people (up to 95kg / 210lbs) the opportunity to experience a parachute descent.
The 1st day of each course will consist of ground training in preparation for the parachute jump. Your descent will be made using the Static Line deployed parachute (the parachute is deployed automatically as you exit the plane) from a minimum of 3,200 feet over the Drop Zone (DZ) at Weston on the Green.
Tandem Medical / Solo Medical / Indemnity and T&Cs
For a Tandem Course: you will require to fill out a Tandem Medical form, Course Indemnity Form and Terms and Conditions. If you are over 40, the medical must be signed and stamped by your GP, if you are under 18 this must be done by your parent or Guardian. You will also need to fill out the BPA Consent form if you are under 18.
Accelerated Freefall (AFF)
For those who are either a little more daring, or seriously interested in becoming a skydiver, Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) is for the ultimate experience. The learning process is four times faster than the traditional static line progression system, and the programme is designed to provide a more personal type of instruction for the student. The course gives you the ability to experience 45 seconds in freefall from the first to the last jump with every jump from 13,000 feet. After eight descents have been completed successfully, a further ten consolidation descents will have to be made under supervision, before the student can be classed as an intermediate parachutist.
Charity Jumps
If you would like to do your jump for charity then let us know.
Its easy to organise and doesn't cost you any more.
Coming direct to us, instead of an agency, means you send more money to your desired charity instead of paying a booking fee, just to be sent to us!!
'Free Charity Jumps'... don't be fooled when you read this on any website! You still pay for the jump; it means that if you have to raise a minimum of £400, you pay for the jump out of that and the rest goes to the charity!
