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!

When my wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, what she went through and all the help she had before and after the operation, made me realise this was the time to do something to highlight this terrible disease.
Jumping out of a plane at 12,000ft may seem a crazy thing to do but I have to say it was exhilarating! It takes fifteen minutes to climb to 12,000ft, that itself is exciting, then jumping out, what an adrenaline rush it was!
Thirty seconds of freefall, then the parachute opens, the clouds clear, then the realisation of how high you are!A marvellous experience I would recommend it to all, young and old! Roy
