FAQs
What’s it like?
A tandem skydive is the easiest and most popular of all skydives. It requires only 30 minutes of training before you then jump strapped to your instructor! The BPA (British Parachute Association) qualified tandem instructor does all the hard work for you, allowing you to enjoy the exhilarating feeling of flying through the clouds from over 10,000 feet at up to 120 mph! It is a truly unforgettable experience.
What does the jump involve?
- Jump and training completed in one day
- Harnessed to an experienced parachute instructor at all times
- Freefall down to 5,000 feet – falling through the air at 120 mph!
- Landing controlled by your instructor
- Certificate to prove that you have completed a ‘two-mile high’ Tandem Skydive!
What COVID-19 safety measures are in place?
In accordance with government guidelines, all Skyline operated airfields will have strict safety measures in place to protect everyone attending their sites.
Are there any restrictions?
To take part in a skydive you must be aged 16 or above.
You’ll be required to sign a medical form before you jump declaring your fitness to take part – this will be sent to you once you have reserved a place. Pre-existing medical conditions don’t mean you won’t be able to take part, but if you suffer from any of the conditions listed on the form you’ll need your doctor to agree it’s safe for you to take part. Your doctor will need to complete a separate form found here.
Each airfield has its own maximum weight limit for taking part details con this can be found here.
What’s included?
You’ll receive a welcome pack, including an exclusive, branded t-shirt to wear on the day as well as unlimited support from our events team.
What is the cost?
You can raise money for the TSA and jump for FREE! All you need to do is raise a minimum of £395 for the TSA!
The £395 Minimum sponsorship then covers the refund of your deposit, event costs and a small donation to the TSA. Any money raise in excess of the minimum amount comes direct to the TSA.
We ask you make it clear to anyone you ask for a donation that event cost will be subtracted from sponsorship money.
