Is Skydiving an easy thing?

I have been lookign at those pictures of skydivers for hours and always enjoyed hopw great all looked like. But there is one word that also comes to my mind: danhger!

Is skydiving really as dangerous?

The researches and statistics shows that the accident ratio of skydiving is not higher than of the other receational aviation activities. So, in short, skydiving is as safe as the people who practice it care about their safety.

The equipment for skydiving is not expensive, it costs just several hundred dollars. The more problematic part is getting out there on the plane and doing the jump. Typically you would have to pay $100 or more for a single jump which is where the major thoughness in skydiving is. Compared to the other recreational aviation sports, skydiving can be more expensive if you do it often.

Learning to sky dive
There are various schools who offer education in skydiving, but unlike other aviation acitivities you don't need any licenses and there is no too much to study. Finally, skydiving is just a jump so all you have to know is how to open your parachute and some safety stuff.

The Spring and Summer are most appropriate for skydiving because the temperatures on thousand meters can be quite low sometimes. If you live in a country with all year hot climate, then cool - you can skydive all the time.

Have you tried skydiving so far and what are your achievements? Please share!

Can Everyone Fly?

Or maybe I should start with "What is this blog about".

It's not yet another blog about aviation. It's a blog about you and the aviation. Since years I am exploring how the ordinary people can fly safely without selling their home. I have discovered this is perfectly possible.

Yes, aviation is for everyone.

Almost.

Except for these who have no heart for it.

So, here is what is this blog about:

General aviation
How to use the general aviation, how to do it cheaper, how to fly safe and cool.

Paragliding
Paragliding is one of the most affordable ways to fly. Do you want to learn more how and where to do it? Just read this blog and you will be able to do it.

Skydiving
Skydiving is not exactly aviaiton, but it has so many fans that I cannot skip it. For successful skydiving you need good equipment, an airplane and a lot of courage. We'll give you information on the first two... The last is from you.

Ultralight aviation
My favorite way to fly is with ultralight airplanes, because they are just like the real aircraft - they are powered and you have full control. Unfortunately ultralight airplanes are less affordable than the unpowered aircraft, but you may get surprised that it's not as expensive as you may think.

So, do you see how exciting all can be? Just keep reading this blog.
