Solo  Static  Line  Course

Your first jump will be from 3,500 feet, with a static line connected to the plane, which will open your parachute for you as soon as you leave the aircraft. Once your canopy has opened (which takes about 4 seconds), you will have complete control to steer it down for a safe, soft landing, under the guidance of an instructor talking you down over a radio mounted on your helmet.

The training course will take place over the weekend of the 26th/27th of April 2008; traveling to the dropzone on the Friday evening (25th April 2008). The training will take place on Saturday, and you'll get to jump on Sunday!

This course gives you the oppertunity to progress with skydiving, and you could become a qualified skydive in as little as 18 jumps! Click here to view the progression system...
