Selection
Voucher for helicopter tandem jump
A helicopter flight is an exclusive experience combined with a breathtaking view of the mighty mountain range between Ennstal and Hinterberger Tal.
Your experience begins with a helicopter flight, at the foot of the Grimming or “mons altissimus styriae” the highest in Styria, as our ancestors called it, and ends with a parachute jump.
The jump from a hovering helicopter cannot be compared to the jump from an airplane. A real free fall.

Euro-Vouchers for helicopter tandem jump
After a breathtaking helicopter take-off from Niederöblarn Airfield and an approx. 15-minute helicopter flight with a view of the Grimming, you jump from an altitude of more than 3.300 m with an experienced tandem master from the hovering helicopter.
Your friends can watch your jump from the airfield. Together with the tandem master you will land gently there again.
Our vouchers are an ideal gift for those, who want to give something really special. The voucher value can be chosen freely.

Course of the jump
Off you go!
Procedure
Time required: approx. 1 hour. Plan with 2 to 3 hours as there may be delays (wind / clouds / rain).
Requirements: minimum size 1.40 m, maximum body weight 90 kg (up to 110 kg for € 50, - surcharge possible)
Clothing: sporty clothing and sneakers. Glasses and contact lenses are not a problem.
Adjustment of passenger harness
To be safely connected with the tandem master during the free fall, you will be equipped with a passenger harness, which will later be connected to the harness of your tandem master. You will get long trousers, a jumper, protective goggles as well as clothes for dirt protection straight from the parachute centre.
Briefing for the course of the jump
Your tandem master will brief you in the course of the jump, you basically can’t do anything wrong. But there are a few things which help your tandem master and add to your safety. The briefing takes about five to ten minutes.
Boarding the helicopter
Seating order and behaviour in the helicopter will be explained, harnesses will be checked one more time.
Repetition of briefing
Before the drop zone is reached, the most important things will be reviewed again.
Connecting of the harnesses
The passenger harness will be connected safely with the harness of the tandem master. The harness material has a breaking load of 3.000 kg. The passenger harness is connected on four different locations with the harness of the tandem master.
The jump
As practised during the briefing, the jump position is taken up. The tandem pilot and the passenger sit down at the open plane door and let their legs hang outside. The passenger holds on to the passenger belts at the side, puts his head in his neck and pushes his pelvis forward. Time to go!
Free fall
After a brief acceleration period you will stay in free fall for about one minute at a velocity of about 200 km/h. Nothing comes closer to the feeling of freedom!

Opening of the parachute
The parachute slows down the fall gently. The parachute takes 300 m, which are about six seconds to slow you down from 200 km/h back to nearly 0 km/h. The tandem master will start the opening procedure at about 1.500 m above ground at the latest.
The open parachute
At about 1.000 m above earth, your tandem master will explain to you, how you let the fully steerable surface glider float down to earth. If you want to glide gently or descend rapidly in spirals, it is up to you.
Touchdown
You are back on Mother Earth. Shortly before touching down, your tandem master will signal you to lift your legs to make sure, the tandem master touches down first. Only when the parachute ceases to move forward you can put your legs on the ground.
