Welcome to the home of the Greater St. Louis Parachute Club!

Static Line Training


Static Line Training is a method of beginning skydiver training in which the parachute is deployed by the static line as the student leaves the airplane. The student, directed by radio commands from the ground, descends to the ground under the parachute. The static line jumps are from 3200'. It takes a minimum of 5 static line jumps to proceed onto freefall.

To skydive you must be 18 years old and weigh less than 230 pounds.

Prices:
The first jump course is $150.00 (group rates are available)

Successive student jumps are $45.00 (gear rental included)
(discount jump tickets are available at 5 jumps for $200.00)

First Jump Course requires an 8 hour commitment. It begins at 9 am and uses video, demonstrations and practice sessions to prepare the student for their first jump that afternoon. Should the weather be unsafe for students to jump that day, we encourage them to return the first available weekend day to experience their first jump.

Classes are usually scheduled on Saturday, we will work with each individual to schedule a class to fit your needs. We train new students from April through October. Contact us to schedule your class.
