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.

Armed Forces Parachute Championships

Skyvan Weekend 9/10 August

15/08/2008

12:00 AM

*All comers welcome - military and civilian alike. The competition covers accuarcy, FS, CF and for the first time an artistic category. Where possible, we aim to get all jumps completed over the first weekend for teams that are unavailable during the following week. Fun jumping will be extremely limited (not even any tandems!) on the weekend of the 16th and 17th so why not enter and guarantee being able to jump? Full details and entry forms can be downloaded here.

*A big big thank you to everyone who came to the Solstice Boogie for your patience and good humour in the face of extreme weather related adversity!Because the weather was so appalling, we have re-scheduled the Skyvan and are working on re-booking the helicopter for the weekend of the 9th and 10th of August. For the big way jumpers amongst us, we have 4 load organisers (Billy Payn, Dave Lewis, Kate Burn and Mike Lewis) confirmed so let's start praying for some better weather!
