Oh, and the first freefall after you are good enough to not need a static line is free. They must've taken their marketing plan from drug pushers ("Go on, try a hit for free, see if ya like it..." and then you're hooked!).
So figuring on paying for about 30 jumps to get a Class A, I think they estimate about $2000 total.
Of course, just like flight training, there is more than one way to skin a cat. These are my estimates at my drop zone. Go to other places flying different types of planes, using different training methods, and you'll probably come up with different numbers. | Thanks for the info man. I was looking around and came up with about that same number. Well goodluck and have fun! |
