Airborne Courses

Real airborne training led by experienced instructors — not a tourist experience, not a tandem. From ground school to 3 solo static line jumps on the US-made military MC1-1D parachute. Basic training €500, from age 15. Every date runs with a minimum of 6 registered participants.

Training that ends with you jumping alone

Our airborne courses aren't a tourist attraction or a tandem jump. They're built on systematic training that takes you from ground school all the way to a safe solo jump. We put the emphasis on discipline, correct procedures, safety and the ability to react when things don't go to plan.

FAQ

What people ask us

Can I take part with no prior experience?

Yes. Basic training is designed for complete beginners — you'll learn everything you need in the theoretical and practical parts of the course.

Is this the same as a tandem jump?

No. In a tandem you hang from an instructor; with us you jump on your own. You go through real airborne training, from ground school to 3 solo jumps on the military MC1-1D parachute.

What's the minimum age?

15. Participants under 18 need notarized written consent of both parents.

Do I need a medical exam?

Yes, a valid Class 2 medical fitness certificate. If you can't arrange one yourself, we'll help you sort it out.

What if I haven't jumped in a while?

Last jump more than 6 months ago → refresher course (€440). A break longer than 12 months → full course at the regular price.

Can I do free fall jumps?

Free fall is only for holders of the relevant license — with your own equipment (€175) or with a rented parachute (€265).

How many people are needed for a course to run?

A minimum of 6 participants — this applies to all published dates. If a date doesn't fill, we offer an alternative date or refund your payment.

Can I arrange a private date?

Yes — from 6 people we'll open an individual date outside the regular schedule. Exclusive option: an aircraft just for you and your group.

What should I bring?

Sturdy ankle boots, long-sleeved clothing and long trousers. We provide the parachute and gear.
