SKYDIVE
TRAINING PROGRAMS
You must do
a tandem skydive within 90 days of starting one of
the student training programs.
There are two
different approaches in becoming an expert
Skydiver. One of your choices would be the
Traditional Training Program. The cost of the
Course is $500 and includes 10 jumps, all the
training and the rental equipment. The Course
is offered during the week, two days
consecutively. Initial instruction
covers wheat you need to know to make safe
parachute jumps. This entails how to exit the
aircraft, how to steer the parachute, how to
land and what to do in a rare case of an
emergency. The initial class is approximately
four to six hours and training and after
completing the training you will make your first
solo jump. The Jump will be made from one of the
Center’s own aircraft from an altitude of 4,000
feet. A static line will open your main
parachute as soon as you exit the aircraft. An
average student will continue with three more
static line jumps and then begin their freefall
jump sequence. The first free fall is a three
second delay after with the student will
gradually work their way up in altitude with
each additional jump. The last jump is a 60
second delay from 13,000 feet. After the last
jump is completed, the student is considered off
student status and is then able to continue
jumping without direct supervision of and
Instructor. If the student needs to complete the
program with more than 10 jumps, the cost of
each additional jump is $80.00.
The second option is
the Accelerated Training Program that is the
latest approach for training students the skills
and techniques of Skydiving. The cost of this
course is $1000. This includes the seven levels
of training and jumps the student will progress
through. The unique feature offered by this
program includes the student and Instructor
making each jump together from 13,000 feet,
about a 50 second freefall. Not only will the
student learn aircraft procedures, but also the
freefall body position and relative work
(skydiving with other enthusiasts) skills will
be introduced and mastered under direct
supervision of your Instructor. This is a fast
paced program and the student will complete this
program within 2 to 3 consecutive days. This
course is offered during the week (Monday
through Friday) by appointment only. If
repeat jumps are necessary to complete the
program, it will cost $110 and $135 depending on
the level. During the Accelerated Training
Program, an expert Videographer for review and
training purposes will tape each of your jumps.
You will receive a copy of your jumps on tape.
Plan to stay all day
for either program. Registration is at 9:00am
for both programs. We do not accept personal
checks but we do accept M/C, Visa, and ATM etc.
The Center uses all modern equipment and
training techniques. The price for all jumps
includes the equipment, plane ride, all
instruction and the jump. Wear loose comfortable
clothing, tennis shoes and bring food. After
each jump you will receive an individual
critique and entry in your own personal logbook.
We are open 7 days a week, year round and jump
weather permitting. For either program it is to
your benefit to complete the course in a timely
manner and continue on into skydiving. Feel free
to call with any further questions.
We
offer great Video and Photo packages!
