After approximately 20 minutes of instruction, you and your tandem jumpmaster will ascend in the aircraft to an altitude of at least 2 miles above the skydiving drop zone. Before you exit, your jumpmaster will attach you, via a special tandem harness, to the front of the tandem parachute system. Securely connected and ready for freefall skydiving you will both exit the airplane and freefall together until you have descended to an altitude of 5000 feet. The jumpmaster will then deploy the parachute that suspends you both until you land. You will have the chance (under the guidance of the instructor) to guide the parachute to landing, if desired. The canopy (parachute) ride will last 4-5 minutes and you'll love the panoramic bird's eye view before landing at a specially designed area of the drop zone to the cheers of awaiting friends and family.
