Frequently asked questions
What is the most intense moment of the jump?
The freefall exit from the aircraft is the peak rush. Your body goes from zero to terminal velocity in seconds, with the ground of the Vendée countryside spread out below you.
Do I need prior experience to do this jump?
No. This is a tandem jump, so you are harnessed to a certified instructor who handles all technical aspects. The ground briefing at the Aérodrome des Ajoncs covers everything you need before boarding.
What is included in the 290 € price?
The 2h session covers the pre-jump briefing, full tandem skydive with an instructor, and all required harness equipment. Check with Mike Air Parachutisme directly for video/photo add-on options.
Is there a weight or age limit for the jump?
Weight and age restrictions vary by operator and aircraft. Contact Mike Air Parachutisme before booking to confirm you meet their specific requirements.
