We have a Beechcraft King Air A90 as out primary skydiving plane. Finding a good skydiving school might be a great first step. You should first investigate very well the school you want to atend. A great thing about skydiving schools is that most of them offer first jump opportunities. During World War I, parachutes were introduced as rescue devices for observation balloon pilots, but airplane pilots were instructed to land with their aircraft. When tandem jumping, one parachute system is used by two skydivers. The student jumps together with the instructor after some ground training has beed completed. The jump will usually be between 8,200 and 14,000 ft. Students practice the jumps by steering the parachute, when jumping in tandem with their instructor. Those adventurous spirits daring enough to make their first skydive at Bay Area Skydiving are rewarded with the finest instructors available. After World War II, an abundance of surplus parachutes and former soldiers with the courage to jump them for sport resulted in the growth of parachuting as a hobby. Hold on for your life! There's no thrill greater than jumping from an aircraft with a parachute attached to your back and free falling at unbelievable speeds to the on-coming ground below With tandem skydiving both the student and the instructor descend together under a single large parachute with dual controls. This sport delivers a rush of adrenaline followed by a feeling of well-being, due to the effect of leaping into the air and falling freely for some time before using the parachute. This sense of calm will relax a skydiver even after landing for quite a long time. One type of parachuting is skydiving, which is recreational parachuting, also called sport parachuting.
