NWAA Skydive Day

Weight limits

This is dependant on the airfield but is usually up to 18 stone. A surcharge of approximately £10 may apply for every stone over 15 stone. During the booking process you will be able to see the maxiumum weight limit for your chosen airfield.

Spectators

You are welcome to bring along supporters and recommend that they arrive about an hour after your arrival time – this would give you time to have your training and get kitted up.

Jumps are weather dependent, so it's not usually possible to specify a jump time prior to the day.

You will receive an arrival time once you are confirmed with the airfield – this is when you will check in and receive your training for the jump. The jump time would depend on the weather and how many other people are booked in that day. There is a small chance you could wait all day until you jump. The airfields do operate a first come first served basis – so the earlier you arrive the earlier you will jump!

Included

• A fantastic fundraising pack filled with hints, tips and ideas to help smash your target
• An NWAA t-shirt to wear with pride on the day
• Support from the events team with your fundraising
• An unforgettable experience

Providing rapid treatment 365 days a year to save lives and improve patient outcomes.

The charity's three helicopters and four rapid response vehicles operate 365 days a year, with doctors and paramedics on board providing enhanced prehospital care to people across the entire North West region.

Schedule

Please note, 70% of your minimum sponsorship must be raised two weeks before the event for your jump to go ahead.

Age requirements

For the tandem skydives the minimum age is 16. However anyone aged 16 or 17 would need to have a parental consent form on the day of their jump. You will have access to this once you have booked.

A few of the airfields have an upper age limit for tandem jumps: Cornwall has an upper age limit of 65, Lancaster and Whitchurch have a limit of 70 and Perthshire has a limit of 49.
