After you get in touch with your contact on the premises (contact details of your instructor resumed on your roadmap/itinerary )and you've agreed on a date and a slot for your jump,please get to the DropZone on the appointed date. You will get a short ground training, then wait to be summonned.Get on the plane, fly over the area and once you've reached 12000 ft (approx),...jump, ....smile! You can jump from morning till night, you will specify the time with your instructor when you call him to get the appointment for your jump (previous appointment compulsory via the roadmap/itinerary sent to you on the day of the booking).
What happens if the weather is bad and I can't jump on the day I was supposed to? Or if any other factor makes it impossible for me to jump?
Your voucher is valid for a year so your instructor/pilot/staff member will offer you to rebook you with a different day of your choice. Suggestion : Call your contact on the premises early on the day of your jump for an accurate weather check!
Can I get on the aircraft to accompany the jumper?
Sometimes the pilot will allow you to get on the aircraft.You will still have to pay a passenger seat (average price : £60) – You may ask the Tandem Pilot while checking appointment time (and ask for prices then) as it's not always possible.
However, bear in mind that if you are on the aircraft to accompany the jumper, you will not see him/her landing and welcom him after his/her jump... We always advise to stay on the ground and be there when the jumper land, as it is when all the emotions come out!!
Can I take photos? Can i have a Camcorder ? Be filmed?
For safety reasons, only professional cameramen are allowed to follow you during your jump to film you. They are expert and will make a montage of your jump on DVD if your request it. Your friends/relatives can take photos of you and film you as much as they like while you are on the ground.
What shall I wear?Is the equipment provided?
Jeans and confortable shoes (sneakers) will be perfect. Remember that,like in the mountains, it sometimes feels cold in altitude.If necessary, jumpsuits and any other accessory will provided.
