Once you've selected your method of training (remember, you can’t jump unless you’re here at our drop zone) plan your time and schedule so that you can put in the time necessary to graduate to an A-license as soon as possible. Once you have a USPA license, you are free to buy your own equipment and to jump anytime and anywhere you want to. Until then, you are on “student status,” and your activities are limited for your own safety, and the safety of others.

Once you graduate to your A-License, there will be far less direct supervision by USPA instructional rating holders, so make the most of your time in our student training program and with our instructors and coaches.

It is recommended that you always call ahead to arrange jumps and to assess instructor/coach availability. Weather can be a concern, but many skydives are made on days that were predicted to be washouts. Plus, rainy days offer great opportunities to accomplish many of the non-skydiving requirements for your license, so plan accordingly and take advantage of all skydiving has to offer you.

Blue skies and safe landings. And, congratulations on your decision to join the sport of skydiving!
