The Experience:
Ask anyone who has completed this heart stopping experience and their reply will be “Just Do It”! This course is for those daredevils who want to do it all by themselves. Using the British Parachute Association Ram-Air Progression System (RAPS), over two days you will learn all the necessary techniques to jump safely from an altitude of over 3000 feet, with a parachute that automatically opens.
You will leave the aircraft from around 3,200 feet and the ram-air canopy is activated automatically by a static line. Now test your skill and judgment in guiding the wing to the correct landing area before trying your hand at landing like the experts. Don't forget to enjoy the view - you can see for miles on a clear day! Throughout our jump you will be in radio contact with your instructor who will guide you to soft landing.
