The British Army’s parachuting centre of excellence
- Skydiving Courses
- Modern Aircraft
- Safe Landing Areas
- Great Facilities
Our skydiving club is run by the Army Parachute Association on Salisbury Plain, and we welcome military and civilian jumpers alike.
If you have never jumped before, why not come and experience the thrill of a Tandem Skydive from 13,000ft? For those who would rather go it alone, we run Static Line and Accelerated Freefall (AFF) courses on Fridays and on Weekends.
If you are already a qualified Skydiver, then come along to the variety of events and competitions we run throughout the year. We regularly host events for a multitude of disciplines, aimed at all levels of ability for Canopy Piloting, Formation Skydiving, Load Organised Big-Ways, Wingsuit Flocks, Free-Flying….and more!
In addition to operating our own fleet of Cessna Caravans, we frequently have other aircraft available to jump, including Skyvans, Islanders and occasional novelty aircraft. Keep an eye on the Events Calendar for upcoming events, both skydiving related and social club activities.
If you would like more information about skydiving, please contact Robin
Durie or Tanya Corbett in the APA office, and we would be delighted to guide you in the right direction.
| DZ Closed 31st Jan/1st Feb | Mount Everest Skydive Presentation | |
|
31/01/2009 08:00 AM *Due to a massive helicopter exercise, we are not permitted to operate this weekend so the DZ will be closed. |
27/11/2008 12:00 AM *Martin Preston, of the Army Parachute Association, has kindly volunteered to deliver a presentation (with lots of video and photos!) about his recent skydive from 29,500 ft alongside Mt Everest. He jumped in October, from a Porter, using a Skymaster 260,and landed at 12,500ft (hence the need for large canopy!). During the skydive, Martin actually completed a two way formation with a Belgium skydiver. By way of preparation, Martin had to complete 95 jumps at Netheravon this year, in order to get his C Licence (minimum requirement). Martin's presentation will take place in the Spring 2009, so plese keep your eye on this article, for confirmation of the date. In the meantime, please enjoy jumping from a mere 13,000ft at Nethers! The Wiltshire views may not be as good, but at least it is warmer! RD. | |
