Get Your Skydiving License in a Week!
At
Skydive Spaceland, we know that once you decide you want to
learn to skydive, it's often full speed ahead! One jump
every so often just won't cut it. Also, we've found that
student skydivers just do better when they can do all of
their training in a short period of time. So now we're
offering a new program: Get your skydiving license in a
week!
Upon completing this program, you'll
have at least 25 skydives under your belt and you will
have completed all requirements to get your
United
States Parachute Association "A" license. This
license allows you to make solo skydives at any drop
zone without supervision.
You could be jumping with your
friends next weekend!
Skydive Spaceland's Get Your Skydiving
License in a Week program includes the following:
-
18 Skydiver Training Program jumps
with highly experienced instructors
-
5 solo skydives with gear rental
-
All for
only $2007 in 2007--a savings of nearly
$500! (Regular rate
for all these skydives is $2,494).

Week Schedule*
Day 1: Sunday: Check in/Ground
School/STP Jumps 1-2
Plan to arrive at Skydive Spaceland
by 8:30 a.m. to sign in and get your training
manual. Your 4-hour ground school class will begin
at 9 a.m. After class ends and you grab lunch,
prepare to skydive! You'll make your first two
Skydiver Training Program jumps by sunset. We have a
bunkhouse where you can crash for free during your
training.
Day 2: Monday: Jumps 3-7
Be ready to go at 9 a.m.; we'll do
levels 3-7 today. You'll be released for the first
time and work on solo turns, docking on your
instructor, and barrel rolls. You'll have enough time between
jumps to get a drink and snack, and debrief each
jump before preparing for the next one. Stay
hydrated! We've got drink and snack machines in the
hangar, and you're welcome to bring a cooler if you
like.
Day 3: Tuesday: Jumps 8-12
We'll start at 9 a.m. and keep
pounding more knowledge into your head during levels
8-12. Today we're working on front and back flips,
forward and backward movement, fall rate control,
and chasing your instructor (hey, turnabout's fair
play! :-) ). Don't forget to stretch in the morning and
stay hydrated.
Day 4: Wednesday: Jumps 13-17
9 a.m.: Begin preparing for levels
13-17. It's another five-jump day, so stay hydrated
and fed. Today we'll practice diving after your
instructor some more, sideways movement, and guess
what? Today you get to start picking out some things
YOU want to do on your skydives! We'll also start teaching you how to pack a
main parachute at sunset.
Day 5: Thursday: Jump 18 (Graduation
jump), up to 5 solo skydives
Today you graduate! You'll start at
9 a.m. by preparing for your graduation jump; you'll
organize a group of no more than three people.
Then you're on your own! You've got five jumps in
the bank to start exploring the sky as you choose.
Days 6-8: Friday-Sunday: Makeup days
If weather has slowed you down,
we'll finish your training as soon as we can on
these days. Plan to start at 9 a.m. if you haven't
completed all 23 jumps by Friday. If you have
finished by now, then congratulations! You're now a
license-qualified skydiver and cleared to skydive
without instructor supervision. We will help you
fill out your USPA A license application and fax it
to USPA.
* Please note that weather and
individual needs can significantly alter this schedule;
however, we will make every effort to help you complete
the program within the week.
