The Process
SL students, get ready to dive into the world of skydiving!
Every Saturday at 8 a.m., you’ll attend ground school training at the Dropzone. This comprehensive First Jump Coursetypically takes 6-8 hours, depending on class size. A qualified static line instructor will guide you through lectures on everything from equipment and emergency procedures to landing safely.
Once you pass the course and practical training, you’ll make your first jump on the same day, weather permitting. But remember, simply completing the course doesn’t guarantee a jump. You must demonstrate a sufficient level of proficiency and convince your instructor you can perform the static line jump safely and correctly.
On your jump, you’ll exit the aircraft at an altitude of 3,500 feet AGL. A static line will automatically deploy your parachute, and you’ll perform the checks and controls you learned in training. Then, you’ll fly the parachute down to the drop zone.
JSC Static Line Skydive
Your parachute ride will last about 3 to 4 minutes. This is just the beginning of the SL program, which consists of 24 levels. To advance to the next level, you must pass each one proficiently.
We require you to complete at least one jump per month, but we highly encourage doing multiple jumps a day. This will help you progress faster and get the maximum benefit from your training.
For each level, a Jump Master will brief you, and an instructor will sign off on your jump once you’ve successfully completed it.
Static Line
The static line progression is perfect for someone who would like to jump alone but does not want to do the AFF program. Static line is the original, best known method of learning to skydive. A tether attached to the airplane automatically opens the parachute.
