Weight Limits: The maximum weight limit for tandem skydiving is 16 stone. The student’s weight and height ratio should be within the limits of an acceptable Body Mass Index (BMI) table.
Age limits: Students can undertake parachuting within the ages of 16-17yrs only with signed parental, or guardian consent. The necessary form (BS form 106) is available for download, or from the APA office. Static Line and AFF courses can be started up to the age of 55 yrs. There is no upper age limit for tandem skydiving, as long as a form 115a has been signed by the customer or the doctor has approved the student to be sufficiently fit for the activity as required.
Medical Declarations: All tandem parachutists are required to complete a medical self-declaration (BS form 115(a) unless there is a pre-existing condition, in which case they should take form 115(b) to their doctor and get the doctor to sign and stamp the form. These should be brought to the drop zone on the day of your jump. Students aged 16-17yrs are required to have their parent or guardian sign the form. This can happen at the drop zone, providing a parent is present.

“Skydiving seemed perfect, not actually too physically demanding but also a real challenge to overcome my anxiety and fear.”

How you’re helping
By taking part in this challenge you are helping support disabled aviation and people like Malky.
Malky has a neurological condition called Dystonia, which affects her movements and her ability to control her limbs. Malky spends most of her time in a wheelchair and cannot walk independently. Despite the condition she is, in her own words, an ambitious girl and her greatest ambition has always been to learn how to fly an aeroplane; something that thanks to Aerobility, and all our wonderful fundraisers, she is well on her way to do.
“I don’t have the words…”
Malky Padwa, Aerobility flyer and trainee pilot.
“I don’t have the words in my vocabulary to describe my admiration and appreciation to the Aerobility Instructors; to anyone out there who is disabled but ambitious, Aerobility can help you to reach the sky."
