A medical certificate is not required for tandem skydive, but it is mandatory for AFF training. For those over 50 years old, a cardiologist's approval is required every 2 years. Click here to download the mandatory template. The medical exam should be done by your general practitioner. The document must be brought on the day of the jump, and it will be requested at the beginning of the day.
For a tandem skydive, there is no minimum age but you must be at least 1.20 meters tall. However, PCN reserves the right to refuse candidates who are too young or do not show a personal willingness to jump. For minors, mandatory written parental consent with a copy of the ID card of at least one parent and of the jumper is required. We advise you to use our template, available HERE.
For AFF training, you must turn 16 during the year.
You can send us the parental consent form using our template and ID cards in advance by email. Alternatively, you can sign the parental consent form on site on the day of the jump or on the day the AFF training begins. Don't forget to bring ID cards for both parents and the jumper.
If your voucher expired less than 6 months ago, it is possible to extend it for an additional 6 months by paying a 50€ fee. All you need to do is make a transfer to account number BE26 0689 3803 8729 in the name of CERPS Namur, stating the number of your gift voucher in the communication field. Once we have received the payment, we will send a voucher with a new expiry date to the email address that ordered the voucher.. The 6 additional months start from the original expiration date of the voucher, not from the payment of the 50€ fee. If your voucher expired more than 6 months ago, it is no longer possible to extend it; the voucher is no longer valid. In case of 3 postponed appointments due to bad weather during the validity of your voucher, Paraclub will waive the 50€ extension fee and offer the 6-month extension.
We offer the tandem jump at €230 per person instead of €250 for groups of 10 or more. For more information and to organize your group activity, feel free to send an email to info@paraclubnamur.be.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to pay for your jump with a Bongo, as we are not partners.
Paraclub de Namur gift vouchers are not truly nominative. So it is possible that you may give your voucher to someone else if you do not want to use it.
You can add options to your gift certificate for a tandem jump. When booking, select the jump you want to take. On the day of your jump, bring your gift certificate with you. When you pay, you only have to pay for the options you selected: €90 for the video, €110 for the video and photos and €170 for the premium package (video, photos, handycam and free cup of bubbles).
You can skydive solo, in freefall, from 4000 meters. You are now a member of the club and can come jump at your convenience (annual membership fee: 205 euros, including license and insurance; solo jump: 24 euros (+ equipment rental)). Further exercises and tests (formation flying, CSC certification, etc.) must be completed to be able to jump with others. After that, you can choose the discipline you enjoy (formation skydiving, freefly, or a mix of everything). Other exercises and tests (associated figures, CSC patent, etc.) are to be passed before you can jump with others. Then you choose the discipline you like (VR, Free Fly,..., or a bit of everything).
The operation is explained in detail in the section "Organization of the time periods for the next jumps" on the page https://paraclubnamur.be/en/skydiving/aff-course
For tandem jumps, the instructor must be able to carry the passenger's weight and brake during landing. For safety reasons, weight is therefore limited.
To obtain their AFF certification, instructors must be able to fall at the same speed as the student so that they can catch them during free fall if necessary. If the student weighs more than 95 kilograms, they will fall much faster than their instructors.
It’s a video report done by an experienced skydiver who accompanies you throughout the jump. They film the briefing with your instructor, board the plane with you, jump at the same time as you, and even come to hold your hand during freefall. Upon landing, they are there to capture your immediate impressions. Afterward, they edit the footage and provide it to download online. PCN doesn’t automatically offer freefall photos. If you want them, let the manifest know. The price of €100 DOES NOT INCLUDE photos.
No, for safety reasons it is forbidden to jump with your own GoPro. It actually requires more than 200 jumps to be able to jump with a camera, as well as a specific formation.
You can keep your glasses or contact lenses for the jump. We will provide you with over-glasses or plastic goggles to wear during the jump. Since there is a very small risk of loosing the goggles and therefore your glasses, we advice you to wear contact lenses if you have some. However, some of our instructors jump with glasses and this is not a problem !
No. During free fall, the videographer is positioned opposite the jumper to capture this unique moment. This means they cannot be opposite multiple people at the same time. However, on the ground it is possible to film/photograph multiple people at the same time.
Yes, absolutely. There is a cafeteria available for them, as well as a terrace. You will land in front of our facilities. However, we ask accompanying guests to stay behind the safety barriers.
The exact time of your jump cannot be known in advance. You may jump 20 minutes or a few hours after your arrival. Therefore, we advise you to have your guests arrive at the same time as your appointment. If you're worried about making them wait too long, we can give you an approximate time of your jump once you're on-site. However, we can never guarantee that they will make it in time to see the jump!
There are a few scenarios:
We are dependent on weather conditions to be able to jump. Despite our best efforts, it is possible that your appointment may be postponed several times due to bad weather. If your voucher is postponed three times due to bad weather during its period of validity, the Namur Paraclub will offer you a free six-month extension.
There are several possibilities. First, PCN does not commit to an exact jump time. Activities are organized in a way to minimize everyone waiting time. Since you’re here for an exceptional experience, plan for 5 hours on-site. A tip: don’t schedule any appointments elsewhere after the jump.
PCN has a hall for its activities and a cafeteria where food is available (sandwiches, snacks, etc.). If you plan to spend the weekend at the club, it's possible, but bring your tent (showers are available).
