Q. How many planes?

Q. How many can jump in a day?

Q. After I have collected my required sponsorship money, what do I do next?
A. Just phone our office any time after 10am and someone will advise you on the next step. If emailing us please allow at lest four weeks until you intend doing the jump and please provide your mobile no. and details of the best time to contact you.

Q. When is the best time to jump?
A. Dates during the summer are heavily booked so if you want to be sure of a specific date be sure to allow at least four weeks notice. Please don't book a jump unless you are fairly sure you can attend. This not only wastes the time of the Tandem Masters who give their time freely but denies someone else the opportunity to jump and raise money for charity. We understand people may need to cancel but please try to give us a few days notice.

Q. How long does it take to prepare?
A. If you arrive at 10am you will be the first to be trained and may be away at 12. Any later and it might be late in the afternoon. As you arrive and paperwork is completed, your name is placed on the manifest board. This is used to see who is next to jump throughout the day and keep an orderly queue. Due to refuelling, bad weather, pilots breaks and several other factors delays may occur. We ask that you be patient and bear with us if you are required to wait.

Q. What if I don't get to jump on the day I booked?
A. The Chief Instructor will inform you if he has availability the following day. This is not always possible as another group may be booked in for that day. If this happens you will be instructed to phone the office to book for a new date. Occasionally in summer, jumps take place late in the evening which you will be welcome to participate in. Vernon will advise of opening hours outside of the normal.

Q. Do I receive a record of my jump?
A. Yes, you will receive a first jump tandem certificate issued by the Chief Instructor and a thank you note and receipt form the NCBI when the paperwork is processed.

Q. Sounds great, whats the next step?
A. Simple. Just download the registration form and send it back to us with you or your groups registration fee.
