Skydiving Innovations is a San Diego-based aerial and ground entertainment company providing completely customized safe, thrilling and inspiring skydiving entertainment.
We have performed more than 500 skydiving shows and aviation events in our 38-year history. We hold the record for the largest demonstration jump in any US city. Skydiving Innovations remains incident/accident-free.
All Course Materials included:
You'll learn how to deal with the FAA, complete the required FAA and insurance paperwork, work with venues and property owners, and understand ALL demo planning elements, leading to a safe & flawless skydiving demonstration.
And you'll learn how to select the right jumpers, pilots, aircraft and support personnel for your demonstrations.
This course is a must for anyone who wants to start their demo career off the right way and avoid all the common mistakes almost every new demo jumper makes.
Following a classroom session covering the FAA, technical, planning and legal details, each participant makes four supervised hop'n pop training jumps:
(You pay the DZ for your hop'n pops.) All smoke, flags and rigging systems are provided for you.
We also cover:
- Jumper In Command Protocol
- In-aircraft Communications
- Exit & Opening Altitude Selection
- Demo Spotting
- Alternate Landing Area Selection, and much, much more.
This course is the ideal preparation for your Pro Rating exam. We cover every subject you need to know when taking your exam. We'll sign you off to jump with smoke, flags and other special effects.
Ground Crew Requirements:
And you can fulfill another Pro rating requirement by working with our Drop Zone Safety Officer on one or more of our scheduled demonstrations.
This course does not include your 10 accuracy jumps required for your Pro Rating.
If all you want to learn is how to safely jump smoke, flags, pyro, streamers and other special effects on your demos, then take our abbreviated Special Effects course. You'll make four supervised jumps, each with a different special effect. (Boot-mounted smoke, hanging smoke, tethered flag and suspended-weight flag.) All smoke, flags and rigging systems are included in this course.
Learn how to properly rig and SAFELY jump these effects. Avoid the common yet dangerous mistakes many skydivers make when first learning to jump smoke, pyro, flag and streamer systems. We'll teach you the ins-and-outs of these critical show elements, and how to get the most from your smoke, flags, streamers and pyro. This is a fun and informative half-day course.
Once you complete your four supervised practical application jumps, your Skydiving Innovations Course Director will sign off your Pro rating application, confirming that you have been trained using smoke, flags and other special effects. (You pay the drop zone for your four hop'n pop jumps.)
You can easily offer this comprehensive, customized course to your local C & D-licensed jumpers who want to start performing demonstration jumps. Our course is complete, and results in far smarter, safer demo jumpers. Course participants don't just learn how to "do demos", they learn how to execute them safely and tell when they should stay in the aircraft or change their show plan to accommodate unforeseen circumstances.
Jump Revenue: As part of the course, each participant makes four supervised hop'n pop training jumps as part of this course, providing incremental revenue to your drop zone.
And, we'll hire one of your DZ staff Pro-rating holders to assist our Course Director and supervise some of the training jumps.
Our team of extremely experienced & Pro rated demonstration jump professionals are there to educate, train, inform and inspire your dz's C & D-licensed jumpers to perform demo jumps the RIGHT way, and avoid the many demo pitfalls we've all seen before. Our Course Directors help reduce the opportunity for you to have to explain a "demo-gone-wrong" to the local news media, because jumpers who take our course are armed with the training, information and perspective necessary to make the right decisions.
There is little your drop zone needs to provide:
- Classroom with a flat screen monitor/TV.
- Recruitment or outreach to your base of C & D-licensed customers. (We'll provide the digital and printed content that you can modify as needed.) Participants will sign up on our website and we'll handle all manifesting with your team. (Just let us know how you would prefer for that to work.)
- Four hop'n pop lifts for our Course Director who will supervise all course participants with your local staff member who is a Pro-rating holder.
To make the course financially feasible and keep the cost down for participants, we require a minimum of six course participants per class.
