FAQs

Do I need any previous experience?

No experience is needed. You’ll complete a short training session on the day, and you’ll be securely attached to a qualified tandem instructor throughout the jump.

Is there an age limit?

Participants must be 16 or over. Anyone under 18 will need parental or guardian consent. Upper age limits vary by airfield, but most centres welcome participants into their 70s as long as they meet health requirements.

Are there weight or health restrictions?

Yes – each airfield has its own weight limits, typically around 14–15 stone (89–95kg) for tandem jumps, but you should check with our specified airfield. Some medical conditions may require a doctor’s sign‑off. You’ll be provided full details when you register with Skyline events.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Skydives are weather‑dependent. If conditions aren’t safe, the airfield will reschedule your jump for the next available date.

Can I bring friends and family?

Absolutely. Most airfields have viewing areas so your supporters can watch you take to the skies, if you have any questions, you can contact your local airfield.

What if I don’t reach the fundraising target?

Participants must meet or exceed their target to take part, and we can support you with ideas and resources. If you’re struggling, talk to our fundraising team – we’re here to help.
