Static Line Jumps

There are two types of static line parachute jumps – static square and static round jumps.

These are perfect if you want to jump solo and also take the first steps to jumping regularly.


Static square jumps

This is a solo parachute jump. It is called a 'static line' jump because from the moment you step into the plane you will be securely attached to a 'static line', which is designed to automatically open your parachute for you as you exit the aircraft.
There is 5-6 hours of intensive training involved before you can jump. Once this training has been completed the jump will take place from 3,000ft. You have directional control with this type of square canopy.
