"Your own parachute jump is like losing virginity for the second time"
Training for your own (unaided) parachute jump - If you want to perform this jump, you have to conduct a basic training. The training is not difficult nor too expensive, and is worth the feeling of the jump, and you will become one of those, who know what I'm writing about.
BASIC TRAINING OUTLINE:
1) Call or write us, and we will arrange the first appointment. We will answer all your questions, consult everything with you and will be looking forward to you.
2) On the first appointment you arrange the "time table" of the training course according to your time possibilities, and obtain study materials.
3) Theoretical part of the training includes following subjects:
- • aerodynamics
- • meteorology
- • parachute structure
- • jump (flight) rules
- • civil aviation protection
- • airfield traffic basics
Don't worry, it just looks complicated.
4) The theoretical parts will learn you
- • how to jump from an airplane
- • how to control the parachute
- • how to use the backup parachute
- • how to land
- • obstacle landing procedures
- • procedures during unusual situations
5) On-the-ground preparation includes:
- • Practicing boarding the airplane
- • Onboard activity
- • The jump itself
- • Practice - unusual situations
- • Roll training
6) There will be a final revision after your study and theoretical and on-the-ground preparation. The revision will be conducted by a parachute instructor. Final revision includes written test and practical revision.
7) After you successfully pass the test, you will be given
- • expertly packed parachute equipped with modern preventive device
- • helm
- • altimeter
- • support hook
Under instructor's/paradrop guide's supervision, you will conduct your own jump when the target altitude will be reached. After the jump, you will never see the world as you did until now.
