If you haven't already decided, this is also when you can add a media package to your skydive you should. Tandem skydiving is all about getting people up in the sky with just a small amount of training. Although it is quite short minutes , the briefing contains important information that you need to know.
Throughout the tandem skydiving process you are a student and not just a passenger, and engaging with the process to get it all exactly right adds to the whole experience. After meeting your instructor and getting briefed, you will be given the appropriate gear and fitted into your harness. Depending on how warm it is you might be given a jumpsuit - but sensible street clothes are fine think sport if your instructor says so. Depending on how the day is going, you might be heading right for the plane - or you may have a little time to watch others land first - which is great for getting extra excited.
The only part of things we cannot control are the weather conditions. To do skydiving it needs to be not cloudy and not too windy or we have to wait. We are good at making the right calls though, so if we are getting you ready then chances are very good you will jump - even if it might mean standing down for a bit for the wind to drop or the clouds to open up.
Traveling up to altitude on the plane is also fun. Everyone clambers in and sits on the floor facing backward, then it takes about fifteen minutes to get to 13,ft - during which you can enjoy the scenery and talk to your instructor a bit.
They will give you information on the way and probably tell you terrible jokes to ease the mood - and then go over the final preparations with you as you near the top. To put it simply, our airspace is operated by the control tower at Charlotte Douglas International Airport and our pilots communicate with Charlotte ATC requesting drop permissions on every flight.
One of the best aspects of Skydive Carolina is the type of aircraft we operate — the Twin Otter. The Twin Otter is regarded as the gold standard in skydiving aircraft because of its size, speed, and the fact that it has two engines.
The office in charge of coordinating who goes on which plane is known as manifest. Manifest is always walking the line to ensure minimum wait times but also not operating at a loss by flying light. At a dropzone, there are multiple departments that must be working at maximum efficiency in order to keep the aircraft flying.
If any one of the following five departments has a challenge that slows their progress, the delay reverberates through all other departments which will create a delay. An example of a departmental delay may be in the packing department. If a tandem instructor lands deep in the landing area because of elevated winds, it may take longer to get the equipment to the packing team in time to have it all packed up for when the gear is needed. Another example may be if a large group of tandems arrives late, then this will force the student training center behind which then reverberates through all other departments.
As they say, the early bird gets the worm and this translates to the early skydiver jumps with fewer delays! All of this — and more — is possible in freefall.
