XLR8 Learn to Skydive Training Course

Make your first skydive a tandem then progress through the XLR8 program whcih consists of eight zones, undertaken at your own pace.  The program uses the accelerated skydive training technique but is more in depth than any other currently available in New Zealand, going beyond the standard learn to skydive course.  You will not only jump solo sooner but you will gain experience and knowledge of all popular and important elements of skydiving today, including canopy flying, relative work and free flying skills.

During the skydive training programme you will perform fifteen concentrated one-on-one instructional skydives.  Your personal jump Master will fly with you mentoring and filming your skydive, this allows you and your Jump Master to monitor your progress.  Each skydive is preceded by a briefing which includes all safety aspects, freefall techniques and parachute handling.  Debriefing and log book entries are completed after every skydive.

XLR8 freefall training can be split, if you wish, between NZONE in Queenstown and Rotorua, gaining experience in different airspace as you travel around New Zealand.
On completion of the XLR8 learn to skydive course you will be cleared for solo freefall and can proceed to undertake consolidation skydives to achieve A certification.
The majority of your skydives will be performed from 12000ft each freefall is approximately 50 seconds duration with a 5 minute parachute flight.

After completing the course you can attain an NZPIA ‘A’ Cerification - This will give you the freedom to independently develop your skydive skills further.  You can skydive solo without instructor guidance, make your own jump plan, jump your own equipment, jump at other drop zone locations and pack your own parachute.  

Your NZONE instructor will assist you through every aspect of your training
