Scheduling
You will need to arrive at your scheduled time, if you’re running late please give us a call! If you are making a tandem jump you should plan to be here for a minimum of 2 hours and potentially up to 5 hours, this allows for any delays. In general, the tandem jump usually takes three hours to complete, but delays can occur. If you are making your first AFF jump, you will need to arrive at 8:00 AM and plan to be there until sunset that day.
Food is available near the drop zone. You can always bring a picnic lunch and plan to enjoy the time while you are waiting for your jump or chilling out after you have landed. We do keep a limited number of snacks and drinks available at the skydiving center.
Large Groups
Larger groups will need to plan for more time for everyone to finish their jump. Group organizers should make sure that each of the participants in the group has secured the reservation with the deposit using the group code that is provided after the initial booking is made.
We normally train everyone together as one large group and then take 3-4 people at a time, with each jump cycle taking 30-60 minutes depending on staff and aircraft availability. For those who are waiting they can cheer their friend on from the boarding area and greet them in our spacious landing area when they touch down.
Weather
We do our best to get your jump done on the scheduled day. However we do deal with weather issues that can cause delays or even make it necessary to reschedule for another day. The AFF first jump ground training is still conducted regardless of what the weather is doing. If you are scheduled for an AFF jump plan to be at the DZ regardless of the weather that day. If we finish the ground training and the weather is not cooperating for the jump we will reschedule for another day to get in the air. We do our best to contact all tandems if the weather for the scheduled jump day doesn’t look promising.
If you are scheduled for a tandem skydive and the weather looks windy or cloudy you can call us at 804-466-0215 before you leave for the DZ, and we can let you know how to proceed.
What To Wear?
Wear comfortable clothes that are appropriate for the temperature and a good pair of lace-up tennis shoes. If it is 50-60 degrees on the ground a sweat shirt and jeans will work well. Shorts and t-shirts work well for the warmer days. We will have a jump suit that covers your clothes for the skydive. The price of your jump includes everything, there are no hidden “Equipment” charges.
