Dropzone Briefing
Safety remains our top priority for jumpers of every skill level. Don't overlook the importance of gear checks. Larger scaled aerial views of the landing area are available on the windows of manifest, and conveniently located just inside the hangar door to the right, there's a wind meter to keep you informed. Remember to attend our safety meetings before the start of jumping during our Turbine weekends. Let's have a great season and continue to foster a strong safety culture.

Jump with your phone!

This feature is readily accessible by selecting "DZ Emergency" from the app's main screen and choosing the appropriate option. When an emergency option is selected, it will appear as a banner alert on the Manifest screen with your location.
Chesley H. Judy Safety Award
During our annual 2024 safety day, we were proud to honor one of our own who through example, deed, training or innovation has promoted safe skydiving in a substantive way.
This year we presented the United States Parachute Association - USPA Chesley H Judy Safety Award to Brandy. She exemplifies the qualities we look for in our instructors and is the epitome of a safety minded individual.
Congrats to Brandy!
Our S&TA's
