Can you imagine the sensation of releasing your grip
on an aircraft that's flying along half a mile high as you commit
yourself to your first jump from a perfectly serviceable aeroplane? How will
you feel as you glide through the sky suspended in the harness of your
parachute? What emotions will you have when you successfully pilot yourself back
to the drop zone to a gracefully soft landing?
The Black Knights Parachute Centre's choice of solo jump
courses will let you discover the answers for yourself...
After completing an in-depth 6 hour training course with
your instructor you’ll be ready to jump and fly your own
modern
“square” parachute and experience the sense of
achievement and thrill that can only come from doing it by
yourself.
Once trained you’ll be helped into your
parachute equipment and then make your way to the jump
plane with your instructor. Once at 3,500 feet, your
training kicks in as the instructor invites you to
make that first jump.
Seconds later your parachute
opens automatically and you guide yourself down to the
landing area whilst enjoying a whole new perspective
on the countryside during a truly unforgettable 5
minute decent.
The 6
Jump RAPS Solo Freefall Course includes all the training within the
Static Line Solo 1st Jump Course
and then goes on to build upon the skills you will learn to develop your
skydiving ability and knowledge and is targeted to help you progress to your 1st solo freefall on your 6th jump.
Small class sizes and friendly
instructors ensure you gain the skills and confidence
to get the most out of the experience. As a
solo jump course student you join thousands of people who began
jumping in just the same way and
went on to advanced training
becoming qualified skydivers. You’ll leave with a
smile on your face and the desire
to get back into the sky!

You're balanced
at the edge of an open doorway of an aircraft flying
at approx 14,000 feet, the
drone of the engine and the wind whistling
in your ears with only the outline of the distant
ground visible below. Now imagine
leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go - falling forward into the
beckoning blue sky, diving down through the air as you
freefall at over 120mph!
Then suddenly you feel a pull against your body and the roar of freefall
fades away as you swiftly decelerate. Now imagine the peace
and quiet as the canopy opens, the steering toggles come up
either side of you and you begin a tranquil parachute descent from a mile up in
the air, steering back down to the centre of the drop zone below.
Well you can stop imagining because it's real and you can experience it
for yourself with a
Tandem Skydive at the Black Knights Parachute Centre.
Securely attached to your
specialist British Parachute Association
instructor and his tandem parachute equipment
you’ll freefall together from approx
14,000 feet at 120mph.
As you’re just
the passenger the training requirements are
shorter than for our solo jump courses.
Tandem Skydiving is a
great choice
for people who would prefer not to solo jump on a
6 Jumps RAPS Solo Freefall Course or a
Static
Line Solo 1st Jump Course
