Product Description
Static Line (SL) Course & Jump.
A static line parachute jump can be done just as a one off experience or as part of a course to progress on to freefall and skydiving. If you have time but want to spread the cost of learning to skydive over a longer period of time then the SL course may be just for you.
It is also a good way of experiencing parachuting if it is something that you might like to carry on with without the expense of an Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) Course. A single static line jump can also be done as a sponsored event for charity. A list of organisations promoting this can be obtained from the Centre by emailing office@skydiveacademy.org.uk.
The SL Course requires a minimum of 6 hours instruction. Courses normally last a full day allowing for coffee, lunch & tea breaks and normally take place on the 1st Saturdays of each month, although other dates can be arranged for group bookings, with the jump normally taking place the next day weather permitting. Occasionally during the lighter summer evenings jumps may be undertaken on the day of the course.
Courses can be run on other days for groups of 5 or more if arranged in advance. With the SL method the parachute is deployed by a static line secured to a strong point within the aircraft. Progression is possible to freefall on later jumps.
All parachutes used by Skydive Academy are of the Ram Air design & all reserves are fitted with automatic activation devices. Parachutes of the Round (Surplus Military) Type are no longer used by us.
"Participants must meet the criteria outlined in BPA Form 114 A - Solo.
Purchasers should note whilst this product may be transferrable up until commencement of the course it is non-refundable, once training has been commenced the activity is non transferable as well as non refundable".
