Jump procedure

• Briefing by the instructor for about 15 minutes. He'll explain how to behave when exiting the plane, and how to position yourself during freefall and landing.
• You'll be fitted with a special harness, which he'll attach to his two-seater parachute inside the plane.
• The climb lasts 10 to 20 minutes.
• You arrive at an altitude of 4,000 meters... The door opens... It's time to take the plunge! You're in free fall at 200 km/h for 50 seconds.
• All you have to do is enjoy this unique moment to the full! During this free-fall phase, the instructor takes control and deploys a mini-parachute called an RSE to stabilize the whole thing. For a few seconds, you'll have the sensation of falling solo!
• The parachute is then deployed by the instructor at an altitude of 1,500 meters.
• Canopy ride: you'll be in control of the parachute, under the instructor's guidance, during the gentle 5-8 minute descent to the landing zone.
• Landing: the instructor takes care of the maneuver, making your first contact with the ground as easy as walking down a flight of stairs.
