Overview:

After 5-6 hours of ground school you will make a solo jump from 3,000 feet. While exiting the plane, the jumpmaster will assist in deploying your parachute. You will enjoy a 4 to 5 minute radio-assisted canopy ride to the ground. Subsequent training and jumps will advance you through freefall. First jump courses are held March through October every 2nd & 4th Saturday. Classes begin at 9:00 am sharp (rain or shine). No reservations are accepted and classes are filled on a first-come first-serve basis. Classes will be limited to the first 15 people that arrive. Special classes may be arranged for non-class days by contacting a Instructor Assisted Deployment (IAD) Instructor at the club. Subsequent jumps may be done without reservation during normal operating hours. Students participating in the Instructor Assisted Deployment (IAD) course are advised that MSPC will not permit any student to jump when the surface winds exceed 10MPH.
