Weight limits
This is dependent on the airfield but is usually up to 18 stone. A surcharge of approximately £10 may apply for every stone over 15 stone. During the booking process, you will be able to see the maximum weight limit for your chosen airfield.
Spectators
There will be plenty of Guts UK supporters there on the day! You are welcome to bring along supporters and it is recommended that they arrive about an hour after your arrival time – this would give you time to have your training and get kitted up.

Jumps are weather-dependent, so it's not usually possible to specify a jump time prior to the day.
You will receive an arrival time once you are confirmed with the airfield – this is when you will check in and receive your training for the jump. The jump time would depend on the weather and how many other people are booked in that day. There is a small chance you could wait all day until you jump. The airfields do operate a first come first served basis – so the earlier you arrive the earlier you will jump!
