Tandem Skydiving
Tandem skydiving refers to a type of skydiving where a student skydiver is connected to a harness attached to a tandem instructor. The instructor guides the student through the entire jump from exit through freefall, flying the canopy, and landing. Take a break from the rat race, and experience what few people ever dare to experience in their entire lifetime, Skydiving. After a brief period of instruction you will
leave the aircraft at an altitude of 9,000 to 14,000 feet and freefall for a mile or more at 120mph! To top off the skydive, you'll glide to earth during a serene 5 to 7 minute ride under a parachute specially built for two. It’s the perfect way to get started.
Progression
Your introductory tandem skydive can be just a fun ride or it can help prepare you for one of our license progression programs Accelerated Free-Fall (AFF), or Instructor Assisted Deployment (IAD). AFF is an eight category program where you and your instructors exit together each wearing individual parachute gear. Your two instructors will stay with you in free-fall, holding on to special grippers on yourjumpsuit and harness until you deploy the main parachute. Completion of ground school is a prerequisite for progression to AFF. Over the course of your training you will accumulate several minutes of free-fall time and become qualified for solo free fall skydives. You will possess aerial skills that would have taken dozens, sometimes hundreds of skydives to learn via the conventional method. We have provided Tandem Skydiving and Accelerated FreeFall Instruction to the Tri-State Area of Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania since 1974.
