Are the equipment reliable?
The whole parachute system that you will be using is specially made for students and is maneuverable as well as very reliable. As mentioned earlier, all our parachutes are packed by qualified packers and the reserve by qualified riggers. During the jump, each student will have a walkie talkie attached on them. This is to facilitate better communication from the air to ground. The ground instructor will instruct and guide them down safely to the designated landing area. Safety must never be compromise!
What if my parachute doesn’t open?
It is mandatory that all intentional parachute jumps must be made with a single harness, dual parachute system with both a main and secondary, or reserve parachute. Basically, if your main parachute malfunctions, you still have back-up parachute to deploy.

Who inspects and pack/repacked the parachutes?
The reserve parachutes are inspected and repacked every 180 days by an FAA-certified rigger whether they have been used or not. Student main parachutes are packed by qualified packers and the reserve by a certified rigger. In addition, all students must use an AAD which will deploy if the student fails to activate either the main or reserve parachute.
Will I be taught how to pack the parachute?
Yes, if you are interested.
What if I wear glasses or contact lenses?
No problem, we will provide goggles that will fit over your glasses or keep your contacts safe.
What clothing should I wear?
Dress in casual seasonably comfortable clothing like pants or shorts and t-shirt. We provide with a jumpsuit to wear in freefall. Sports shoes are recommended.
What do I wear for the training session?
For the ground training you can wear casuals preferably jeans or track bottom and flat-sole shoes. Bring along your track top because you will be doing some training on the field. For the jump you will be provided with jump-suits and helmets.
Do I have to buy my own gear?
No, as everything will be provided except for your shoes.
