The Static Line Solo 1st Jump Course normally runs on Saturdays commencing at 8.30am at the drop zone, conditions permitting you'll make your 1st jump early that evening.

 

Unfortunately we can't give you an accurate time as to when you will make your jump, we only allow parachute descents to be made when the weather conditions are safe and within the British Parachute Association's operating procedure minimums. 

 

Spectators are welcome  to come and watch you jump, however we ask you not to bring pets or alcohol onto the drop zone.

 

After completing your first static line jump you will have begun your progression towards your 1st solo freefall and ultimately a solo skydiving qualification under the BPA Ram Air Progression System (RAPS) and can continue to jump and learn by purchasing RAPS Student Jumps.

 

If you are really keen to get to grips with skydiving we recommend that you consider the 6 Jumps RAPS Freefall Course that combines the 1st Jump static line course with  5 additional jumps and training. This 6 jump course is targeted to take the participant to his or her 1st Solo Freefall jump subject to their satisfactory progress against the British Parachute Association's Ram Air Progression System (RAPS) Category System.

 Prerequisites -The maximum allowable weight is 12 stone for females and 15 stone for males, body mass index will also be taken into account. The minimum age for parachuting is 16, applicants under 18 must have written parental / guardian consent. Applicants aged 40 and over should request a British Parachute Associate Medical Certificate for completion by their doctor before their course. Those aged above 49 years are discouraged from taking the Static Line 1st Jump course and require individual approval from the British Parachute Association's Safety and Training Committee and our club's chief instructor, Tandem Skydiving is often a better choice for those above 49 years old.
