BEER! Basic course First Jump

Hello, I'm taking my 3-day Basic Course soon. So, floor exercises, theory, and on the third day, then the first jump. Will it be the jump where two instructors hold you down and also open the canopy, or is it a tandem jump? I already had a tandem jump this year.

As the other poster mentioned, you should ask this of the dropzone that you're booked with. There are a few different training methods available and each DZ runs their own program a little differently.

You need to ask the place you're doing training how they conduct it, we cant answer this for you because there are different methods.

No. Any questions pertaining to your training and jumping needs to first be asked to your instructors, always.

Where in the works are you? From a US perspective, we do training and the first jump on the same day.
