Our Fundraising Team is on standby to give you encouragement, support and ideas on how to raise money for your skydive. We just need to make sure that you raise sufficient funds to cover the cost of the tandem dive for you to be able to jump. We will discuss this with you on a face-to-face basis.

Once you have registered your place, you can set up your fundraising page here.

Restrictions are as follows:

  • The maximum weight limit is 95kg (15 stone). All students will be weighed on arrival and any students over the maximum weight limit will not be permitted to jump, for safety reasons. If, on arrival at the centre, you are over the fixed weight limit of 95kg (15 stone), you will be required to rebook for another date, at which time you must not exceed the maximum weight limit. There will be a £20 fee attached to your booking, which is payable when you next attend the centre. Any height is fine for the Brackley Airfield for your skydive.
  • The principal medical restrictions for all jumps are diabetes, epilepsy, fits, recurrent blackouts, heart or lung disease, mental illness and some cases of asthma but if you are in any doubt, please contact us for further information.
  • All jumpers are required to sign a medical form before their jump declaring their fitness to take part. This will be sent to you upon receipt of your booking but is also available on request. Those under the age of 18 will need the medical form signed by a parent or guardian; anyone with medical conditions listed on form 115A will need to have form 115B signed by their doctor

The British Parachute Association (BPA) insist that all participants bring their medical form with them on the day. Whether you need to get the form signed by a doctor depends on the following information.

The first BPA form is Form 115A. If you have any of the medical conditions listed on the form, then you must get Form 115B signed by a doctor. If you do not have any of the medical conditions listed on the form, then you may self-sign Form 115A and bring that along on the day.

Please print your form double-sided and bring it with you on the day – if you are not able to do this, please Skyline Events at info@skylineevents.co.uk and they can post a form to you.

All jumpers are covered by British Skydiving Liability Insurance Policy up to £5 million for liability to Third Parties. This means that your payment to the skydive centre of the fee for the training and the jump is insured.

Please note that this does not cover the jumper or their dependents for personal injury including death. All jumpers are therefore strongly recommended to take out their own insurance cover for personal accident benefits to whatever level they consider appropriate.

Yes, you will be given specialist training from the team at Brackley Airfield.  The British Skydiving approved training will only take around 10-15 minutes and will give you all the information you need to complete the parachute jump safely.

Everyone who books with Skyline Events needs to accept their Terms & Conditions before we can get you confirmed with the airfield. Please view them here.
