When can I skydive?
For our 40th Anniversary year we have organised a special weekend on the 17th & 18th May 2025. We are aiming for 40 participants to complete the skydive to celebrate with us.
If you are unable to jump on either of these dates, please contact us to discuss the possibility of jumping on an alternative date.
Where is the airfield?
The airfield is ten miles from Lancaster town centre at Black Knight Parachute Centre (Hillam Lane, Cockerham, Lancaster LA2 0DY). Other venues are available upon request. Once your online booking has been received and processed, full confirmation details will be sent to you, including a map and directions to the airfield.
Who can take part in a skydive?
- Adults aged over 16.
- Groups of friends
- Companies
- Participants of any ability
- Thrill seekers/adrenaline junkies
- Anyone looking to celebrate a milestone, mark a special occasion or remember a loved one.
Please see below for details regarding age, medical conditions and health.
How much will it cost me?
There is a £70 administration fee when you book with skyline. We ask that you complete a minimum of £395 sponsorship. There are no other mandatory costs.
You may wish to upgrade to a 15,000ft jump (subject to availability) or have photographs and your jump videoed. These options can be booked and paid for via Skyline.
Are there any restrictions on age or health?
For a tandem skydive you must be at least 16 years old; for static line jumps and AFF you must be aged between 16 and 55 inclusive. For all jumps you must weigh under 15 stone with your weight in proportion to your height. Please note some centres have lower weight limits - please contact us for details. The principal medical restrictions for all jumps are diabetes, epilepsy, fits, recurrent blackouts, heart or lung disease, mental illness and some cases of asthma but if you are in any doubt please contact us for further information. All jumpers are required to sign a medical form before their jump declaring their fitness to take part - this will be sent to you upon receipt of your booking but is also available on request. Those under the age of 18 will need the medical form signed by a parent or guardian; anyone with medical conditions listed on form 115A will need to have form 115B signed by their doctor.
What about the weather?
You will need to arrive at the airfield at the time specified in your confirmation email as supplied by Skyline, regardless of the weather. If you have any concerns about the forecast, please call the airfield to check local conditions. Should the weather be unsuitable for jumping on the day it will be up to the jumper to return to the skydive centre on another occasion(s) if necessary to complete their jump.
What about insurance?
On payment to the skydive centre of the fee for the training and the jump, all jumpers are covered by British Skydiving Liability Insurance Policy up to £5 million for liability to Third Parties. Please note that this does not cover the jumper or their dependants for personal injury including death. All jumpers are therefore strongly recommended to take out their own insurance cover for personal accident benefits to whatever level they consider appropriate.
How do I book?
All bookings are handled by Skyline Promotions Ltd. Once you have booked you will have access to the Skyline Online Portal. It is essential that you complete personal details like weight and height as soon as possible to secure your space.
