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.

06/07/2009 12:00 AM In addition to the large group organising at Nethers, there will also be 'walk-up' load organising on a number of weekends, organised by Doug McLelland - a member of World Team 2006 and all round nice guy! If you want to join in, you just need to turn up on the day, find Doug, and let him know that you want to play! For safety reasons, the minimum experience is FS1 and around 50 FS jumps. If in doubt, click "email" and ask. Dates are as follows: |
04/07/2009 08:30 AM As you know, we have the sky van in this weekend. To take advantage of this, we will be running walk-up load organising, run by Caroline Allen. Caroline has loads of experience to help develop FS jumpers of all abilities - she was a member of the 400-way World Team, and a team captain on the 2007 Brit Chicks record. If you want to get involved, listen out for calls early in the morning, or look out for the group during the day. | |
