Common questions · Process and experience
How long does the whole experience take?
A common estimate is around two to three hours, but leave generous time and avoid a tight onward schedule.
Check-in, equipment, briefing, waiting for a weather window, aircraft climb, the jump and post-landing procedures all take time. Waiting is often the largest part.
Weather and airspace can extend the visit. Confirm the current expectation with the selected operator.
Some points vary by site, contract, personal circumstances or date. Confirm the current written terms with the actual provider before booking.
