What more Oye?

There are 3 options available to you:

1) Static line(Solo jump)- No previous experience is necessary and it takes just 8 hours of parachute lessons to prepare you for your first solo static line parachute jump! It is the conventional method of skydiving and is used in sport parachuting as the first step in skydiving training. The dive is made from approximately 4,000 feet above the ground after proper training. A line attached from the parachute to the aircraft opens the parachute as the student falls away. Actual jump video can be seen herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdzzdePaKjs

The participant jumps alone with the parachute, and the parachute is deployed immediately after leaving the plane, regardless of actions taken or not taken by the parachutist. The parachute ride will take about five minutes, during which the student is guided to the ground by either radio contact or ground signals. The activity would be guided by experienced professionals and safety is given due importance.

It is a 3 day activity and training takes place on the Friday and first half of Saturday and takes a minimum of 8 hours covering the following parachute lessons. Actual jump takes place on Saturday or Sunday.

• Orientation and Documentation
• Familiarisation and Fitting of Parachute Equipment
• Theory of Flight & Aerodynamics
• After Landing Procedures
• Drop zone and Winds
• Stability and Exits
• Aircraft Drill and Emergencies
• Canopy Control and Flight Drills
• Malfunctions and Reserve Drills

2)Tandem skydiving-A Tandem Skydive is the quickest and easiest way to experience the exhilaration of being in freefall! It can be done over a single day. Strapped to a highly qualified tandem instructor you will jump from 9,000 - 10,000 feet falling at speeds of around 120mph before your parachute is deployed for you to enjoy the views as you float back to the ground. No previous experience is necessary and it takes just 30 minutes to be trained to make the jump!

The 30 mins of training involves:

• The tandem parachute equipment and how it works, including safety features.
• How you will be attached to your tandem instructor.
• What you need to do when you exit the aircraft.
• What is expected of you during free fall
• What happens during the canopy ride and landing process.

Jump description-When it's your turn, you will be given a jumpsuit, hat and goggles, and then fitted into your harness.Then you walk with your tandem instructor to board the plane where you will then be securely attached to your instructor.The plane will climb to an altitude of between 9,000 - 10,000 feet.When it is safe to do so, you and your tandem instructor will move to the door ready to exit the plane!On leaving the aircraft, you will freefall reaching a speed of 120mph before your tandem instructor opens the parachute at around 5,000 feet (approx).You then get to enjoy the local views, gliding through the air whilst suspended underneath your tandem parachute. You may even get the chance to take control and fly the canopy back to the landing area!As you get near to the ground it's time to wave to your friends and family and then feet up whilst your tandem instructor takes control and lands the canopy.Then smile for the camera as you are presented your certificate for completing your tandem skydive.

3)Accelerated Free fall package-This is for those who want to take their keenness to taste Human Flight a little further and also to figure out if indeed they will consider Skydiving one of their life time activities.
This training discipline is where certified instructors accompany the student in freefall holding onto the student's harness at first while the student demonstrates certain with training wheels.
Since the student is wearing his own parachute, he must be trained to handle emergency procedures as well as landing procedures. AFF training usually consists of a several hour (12 - 18 Hrs) ground course, and the first jump can often be accomplished the second day. The Static line course provides information and training about skydiving equipment, canopy flight and landing, emergency procedures. The exit and freefall will be covered in this specific course.
Student exits the aircraft with two ISPA AFF Instructors and freefall together for 30 to 40 seconds, depending on jump altitude, typically 9,500 10,500 feet. Instructors maintain grip on the student's harness to provide in-air instruction and assist with stability if necessary.
The student opens his own parachute by 4,500 feet and pilots it to the landing area.

• AFF Skydive Happens from 10000 ft Above Ground Level
• The method will be ISPA progression ( USPA / APF Free Fall Table)
• Internationally valid progression.
• Free Fall Time 35 to 40 Sec.
