A great one off experience is this static line parachute jump. With the static line (sl) method the parachute is deployed by a static line secured to a strong point within the aircraft. Progression to freefall is possible on later jumps. All parachutes used are of the Ram Air design & all reserves are fitted with automatic activation devices. Round parachutes are no longer used by this supplier. The SL Course requires a minimum of 6 hours instruction. Courses normally last a full day allowing for coffee, lunch & tea breaks in between & normally take place on the, with the jump normally taking place the next day weather permitting. Occasionally during the lighter summer evenings jumps may be undertaken on the day of the course. Courses can be run on other days for groups of 5 or more if arranged in advance.
