Skydive FAQ
What is a Tandem jump? A Tandem skydive lets you experience free fall without the need for lots of training. You will free fall normally from at least 10,000 feet with the parachute being opened at 5,000 feet. You then get to float down the last mile with your instructor to a soft landing. This is the perfect experience for your first-time jump as you are attached to an instructor who does all of the work for you. This leaves you free to enjoy the view!
Where and when can I jump? Please see here a list of locations – https://skylineskydiving.co.uk/prices-and-locations/ It is recommended you book a couple of months in advance to ensure you get the date you want (especially in warmer months).
I have a disability – can I jump? The airfields will look at each case individually, so please email info@skylineevents.co.uk and they can check for you. With any medical condition- you will also need to have the medical form signed by a doctor.
Are there any age restrictions? For the tandem skydives the minimum age is 16 – however anyone aged 16 or 17 would need to have a parental consent form on the day of their jump. You will have access to this once you have booked. A few airfields have an upper age limit for tandem jumps: Cornwall has an upper age limit of 65, Lancaster and Whitchurch have a limit of 70 and Perthshire has a limit of 49.
How can I fundraise? You have the option to fundraise online or offline or both! When you book on, we will send an email with more details about fundraising.
