How long does the skydive last?
A tandem skydive will consist of 30 to 60 seconds of freefall time, depending on the altitude you jump from, followed by a 4-5 minute parachute glide to earth landing on the airport. On a static line jump your parachute will be inflated 5 seconds after you leave the airplane, and from there you will enjoy a 4-5 minute glide to the earth safely landing in the student field.
