What are the jumping requirements?
Skydive Elsinore is a member of USPA. Please be prepared to show current USPA membership, proof of your license status and an in-date packing card when you buy your jump tickets. A signed log book may be necessary to prove currency.

How does Manifest work?
Purchase jump tickets in the office. Manifest is in the office during the week and in front of the snack bar on the weekends. Manifest only when you are ready to jump. Missed loads might not be refunded! Please be ready at the loading area when you hear your five-minute call.

What are the requirements for take off?
RIG MUST BE ON - leg straps and chest straps correctly threaded prior to boarding. Seat belts must be worn on the plane until 1,000 ft AGL - no exception. If you choose not to wear your helmet, you must secure it to your chest strap or seat belt.

What about Spotting?
The pilot spots the plane and generally no corrections are needed. Open the door and be ready to go at the orange light. The solid green light is the exit light. All groups continue to exit until the green light is off. Stay in the airplane for another jump run.

What are the exit orders?
Exit Order: Bellyflyers - largest to small groups, Freeflyers - largest to small groups, Students, Tandems, Wingsuit flyers, Crew. Special note: Skysurfers will exit 2nd or 3rd out on the first pass to ensure that they are directly over the DZ.

Exit Separation:
With reported upper winds of 0-10 knots, please allow between 5 - 7 seconds between exits (take into account the time it takes to climb out of the aircraft.) For winds of 15 knots or higher please use the following formula: Take Upper winds and devide by half which will give you the recommended amount of time between exits!

Upper winds:
15 knots - 7 seconds between exit groups
30 knots - 15 seconds between exit groups
40 knots - 20 seconds between exit groups

What are the landing rules?

No more than a 90 degree turn on approach is allowed. No holding breaks, spiraling or carving over this landing area. Watch for heavy traffic.

• STUDENT LANDING AREA - to the right of the main landing area. Use student windsock for directional control. Follow the first person to land. Students have the right of way. In light/no winds, land toward the lake.

• HIGH PERFORMANCE/SWOOP POND - to the left of the main landing area. Use Extreme Caution! There are no restrictions on the direction of landing or degree of turn. Please advise others in the aircraft of your intentions. Extreme caution and visual awareness is advised. Only the most aggressive canopy pilots should land there.
