Programme
- Meeting and preparation:
We meet at the dropzone at Ashburton Airport 30 minutes before the booked time or we can arrange a transfer service from Christchurch (to be arranged after completed booking). Once at the airport, after filling in some paperwork you will get to know your skydive master who will give you a detailed briefing of the skydive, the safety measures and the usage of the equipment. All you have to do next is jump on the plane and enjoy the view!
- Flight and jump:
Enjoy first a scenic plane ride up to 6,000ft with a stunning view of the coastline and the green landscape of the Canterbury region. Once reached the right altitude and the door opens, all you have to do is count to 3 and jump! Reaching speeds of 200km/h you will experience a freefall of 15 seconds until the skydive master deploys the parachute.
- Landing and return:
After a 5 minutes scenic parachute flight, the skydive master will prepare for landing. You will gently land back at the dropzone.
