Our staff and pilots have years of experience, special training, and access to government aviation weather websites. We use all of these resources to make decisions regarding weather. Clouds, wind, and storm conditions can affect our ability to make your jump. In almost all cases, weather decisions are made the day of your jump. We do NOT make decisions on our daily operating schedule based on weather forecasts 95% of the time. Forecasts are too unreliable to do this. In the rare case we know for absolute certain you will not be able to skydive we will reschedule far enough ahead to save you the drive. Either the night before or the morning of. However, 95% of the time we are able to jump at least part of the day and will ask you to arrive as scheduled. For example, during the summer in Georgia almost everyday we have afternoon showers and the forecast reflects this. These typically only last for a short time then we get back on schedule. If we made decisions based on these forecasts, we would never jump. We recommend against waiting for a “perfect” day to schedule. Your preferred date will likely end up unavailable if you do. In the unlikely case you arrive as scheduled and are unable to jump, we will issue you a rain check and you can reschedule at a later date. Our operations are halted or delayed by freezing ground temperature conditions. Our aircraft are equipped with heat for reasonable winter temperatures.
