Documents needed in order to start the course:
- Medical certificate
- Insurance
- 3 photoesLast Updated on Wednesday, 21 September 2011 11:06 How many jumps do I have to do in order to get the skydiving license?
The Italian minister of transport releases the licence. In our case we must pass a theory exam and we must have at least 50 jumps. We would like to underline the fact that this is only a bureaucratic situation as a skydiver can automatically jump in any airfield. For the AFF course , you can jump immediately after the 7th jump.
Last Updated on Wednesday, 21 September 2011 11:05 After finishing the AFF course do I have to buy a parachute?
Only if you want, otherwise you can use the school’s parachutes. Also the suit, the helmet, the altimeter, the goggles, etc. A new parachute cost around 6.000 Euro. You can also buy a second hand on starting form 2.000 euro. The jumps instead will cost you € 25,00 each, plus € 10,00 for rent and € 5,00 for repacking.
Last Updated on Wednesday, 21 September 2011 11:04 How much are the repetition jumps?
Each repetition jump from level 1 to 3 (with 2 instructors) cost € 140,00 and from level 4 to 7 ( with 1 instructor) costs € 90,00
Last Updated on Wednesday, 21 September 2011 11:04 How many jumps are included in AFF course?
The jumps included in an AFF are 7, and also the levels that you must pass are 7. Each level that you won’t pass, you will have to pay it each time.
Last Updated on Wednesday, 21 September 2011 11:03 Can you be recorded during the jump?
Yes, both for the tandem and the AFF course. In both situations there will be a video man that will jump with you and record you during the jump.Once landed you will be given a DVD . For the tandem it’s a souvenir but for the course is part of the valuating system.
Last Updated on Wednesday, 21 September 2011 11:02 Is the landing with the parachute soft?
Yes both for the tandem and the normal parachute.
Last Updated on Wednesday, 21 September 2011 11:01 If I’m not able to jump out of the aircraft, will I be pushed?
No! never. If you should refuse jumping , the instructors will help you psychologically to overtake your fears. If this won’t help you’ll be taken back on the ground and you will try later without any problems.
Last Updated on Wednesday, 21 September 2011 11:01 Can you jump in winter?
Yes . The aircraft have heating systems and the free fall doesn’t cool the human body that much.
Last Updated on Wednesday, 21 September 2011 11:00 How many jumps can be done in a day ?
A student can so 3/4 jumps , an expert 10/12.
Last Updated on Wednesday, 21 September 2011 10:59 Is there a problem in breathing during free fall?
No. You will breath normally.
Last Updated on Wednesday, 21 September 2011 10:59 Is there a problem if I wear glasses or contact lenses?
No. You will be given special goggles that will cover your glasses.
Last Updated on Wednesday, 21 September 2011 10:57 If I suffer dizziness will I be scared to jump?
No ,as the vision from the height won’t disturb as much as the one from a balcony.
Last Updated on Wednesday, 21 September 2011 10:56 What’s the minimum age to become a skydiver?
Both for the tandem jump and for the course you need to be 16 and have the parents authorisation. Do I need a medical certificate? In order to do a course ( traditional Or accelerated) you must have a proper medical certificate to jump with a parachute. You can have it from a FMSI (Italian sports medical federation) or go to a military hospital. The visit will only certify that there aren’t any serious neurological orthopaedic and heart illnesses. For the tandem jump no certificate is required .A good physical preparation can help but it isn’t necessary.
Last Updated on Wednesday, 21 September 2011 10:54 Is skydiving a safe sport?
Yes, it is! Even more than what you can think. All parachutes have an emergency rig, and all tandem and school parachutes must have by law an automatic system that will automatically open the parachute in case of any problems during opening or any thing wrong with the skydiver. The accident are statistically much lower compared to other traditional sports (cycling, rock climbing, box ect). Remember that your parachute will open because of physical laws: the mistakes are almost all humans. A good instruction and a good consciousness and a normal dose of good sense make this wonderful sport the most safe.
Last Updated on Wednesday, 21 September 2011 10:53 Physical requirements
There aren’t any specific physical requirements, all you need to participate to a skydive course is an agonistic medical certificate for skydiving that can be released by any medical sport centre or by a F.I.M.S. doctor.
Last Updated on Wednesday, 21 September 2011 10:52 Modalità d'istruzione
There are no translations available.Il corso è strutturato in sette livelli “step by step”, durante i quali, per i primi tre sarai assistito da due istruttori. I due istruttori ti accompagneranno, tenendoti saldamente, dall'uscita a 4000 metri fino all'apertura del tuo paracadute a profilo alare. Durante la discesa sarai assistito via radio fino all'atterraggio. Dopo aver superato i primi tre livelli verrai assistito da un solo istruttore fino al settimo livello. Alla fine del corso potrai saltare da solo avendo acquisito l'abilità tecnica per cui sarebbero stati necessari decine di lanci con un corso tradizionale.
Last Updated on Wednesday, 21 September 2011 10:51 Length
The year depending on weather conditions. The course consists in a full day of preparation in order to prepare you for your first jump on the following day. The course can be held in any period of the year depending on weather conditions.
