Tandem

Tandem Skydiving is the simplest way to try Skydiving.


 * An Instructor with a minimum of 500 jumps provides training as laid down by the APF's Training Operations Manual
 * Your harness is attached directly to the Instructor's harness at four points
 * The Parachute system is designed for two people
 * The Parachute system is fitted with an Automatic Activation Device (AAD)

Things to consider:

Exit Height
Varies, up to 14,000 feet, the maximum legal height in Australia. The exit height dictates the amount of time spent in freefall.
 * From 14000, freefall is usually about 60 seconds
 * From 12000, 50 seconds
 * 10000	40
 * 8000	30
 * 6000	20

The parachute must be open by 4000' for safety (by way of comparison, sports parachutists must be open by 1800')
