Instructor Assisted Deployment (IAD/Static line)

After your four to six hour course (depending on class size), you will be fitted with our top of the line, state of the art equipment, and will fly to an altitude of approximately 3500 feet above the ground to make their first jump. As you leave the plane your instructor will deploy your parachute for you and you can enjoy a beautiful and peaceful parachute ride while an instructor on the ground guides you to the landing area by giving you commands on a radio.

The requirements for making an IAD jump are:
  • Complete all required waivers
  • Be in good health
  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Not exceed 225 pounds
The cost is $175, which includes instruction and first jump. Additional jumps are $50.00 each if done within 30 days from your first jump. Participants must call ahead to schedule their IAD skydive. IAD skydives are available on weekends and holidays so call now!
