Are the jumps weather dependent?
Yes, strict Civil Aviation Authority Safety Regulations only allow us to jump in clear conditions with winds of 20 knots (23mph) or less. The same rules apply to all centres within the UK.
You can view a 5 day colour coded weather forecast for our airfield by clicking here – the calmest winds usually occurring at the start and end of each day.
Cloud bases can also sometimes affect the altitudes we’re able to jump from – which please note is why our jump prices are for altitudes “up to” the heights quoted. We won’t go however unless we’re as sure as we can be of getting the required altitudes, or close to them.
