The
RAPS (Ram-Air Progression System) course is a two day static
line parachute course.
On
the first day you will receive ground training on equipment,
aircraft exit, parachute control and landing. On the second
day you will jump, weather permitting, using an advanced ram
air square parachute.
You will jump from around 3 500 feet. Your parachute is deployed
automatically by the static line. Once your parachute is open
and you have performed your safety checks, you will fly your
parachute to the landing area and a safe landing.
If you would like to continue on after this course, additional
jumps are available from £27 to £35 each. Within
another six to ten jumps you could be qualified to begin freefall.
