RAPS Static Line Parachute Training
Product code: FUNPC
There's nothing quite like leaping out of an aeroplane for the first time. The rush of adrenaline, the extraordinary sensation of falling towards the earth at 120 mph and the delightful sensation of floating gently down when the parachute opens. This experience is one of life's 'musts'.
A Ram Air Progression System (RAPS) Static Line Course involves approximately 8 hours training before jumping from around 3,500 feet. The jump will usually take place on the Saturday morning following mid-week training. The parachute is deployed by a static line, secured to a strong point in the aircraft, and serves to pull the parachute out of its container as you jump and fall away.
