Denmark's leading course in solo skydiving
At Dropzone Denmark, we have prepared a unique solo skydiving course based on experience and statistics from all over the world. It is designed to give you all the knowledge and skills you need to safely jump out of a plane for the first time alone.
Therefore, you do not need to have made a tandem skydive first. Everything will be gone through with you thouroughly before your first solo skydive. Both with theory and physical excercises, so that you are completely aware of what is going to happen, once you are in the air. We will go through some scenarios that will prepare you for when things go according to plan, but also teach you what to do in situations when things go wrong.
Our skydive training is built around the AFF principle (Accelerated Freefall). This means that your first jump is from full height, 15,000 ft, where you release the parachute yourself and experience freefall from your first skydive. This is in contrast to the static line education that is used elsewhere in Denmark. Where you start at a low altitude, the parachute is released automatically when you jump, so you don't get any free fall during your first jump.
The advantage of the AFF training is that you have more time in the air and therefore learn much faster. You also experience a full skydive on your first jump.
We offer solo skydiving courses in Herning, and as something new, we will also offer it in North Jutland at Sindal Airfield starting in 2025!

How does a solo skydive work?
Day 1: You arrive ready for 4-5 hours of theoretical instruction, where you learn everything about the parachute and the scenarios you may encounter.
Here you will also get the practical training you need, where you for example practice all the movements you need to use during your skydive.
Day 2: On the day of your jump, you start with 1 hour of practical training, where you practice jumping out of the plane and pulling the parachute yourself. Here there is ofcourse also room for some last questions before your jump.
Now it’s go time! You’ll jump from 4.5 KM altitude together with two instructors. During freefall, the instructors will hold on to you to make sure everything goes as it should. You will deploy the parachute yourself—at that moment, your instructors fly away, and you are on your own under the canopy.
During the canopy flight, you’ll still never be alone. An instructor will guide you all the way down, speaking to you through a headset in your helmet, so you feel supported while flying your parachute on your own. After touching down, you’ll sit together with your instructors for a debrief, reflect on the experience, and proudly log the jump in your brand-new logbook – marking another step toward becoming an independent skydiver.
What is the price for a skydiving course?
You can choose to jump solo just once, or continue on your skydiving journey and become a licenced skydiver. The price for your skydiving course is therefore very dependant on your needs and what you want to get out of the course. With our skydiving course packages a skydiving cource can cost anywhere between 2,995 to 23,495 DKK.
What does a solo skydive require?
Regardless of whether you only want one solo skydive, or whether you want to be a certified skydiver, the same solo skydive course is where you start.
It is a common misconception that you must have tried a tandem jump before you can skydive solo. That is not the case. It is undeniably a good preparation, but you can easily take your first skydive as a solo jump. You don't even need to have flown in a plane before. All it takes is desire, will and courage! OK, it also requires you to be at least 16 years old and not have any health challenges that could prevent you from skydiving. But that's about it!
Our solo skydiving course is structured in such a way that you learn everything you need to perform a safe skydive alone.
If you wish to continue with the education, and possibly become a certified skydiver, you are already well on your way. But, as mentioned before, it's not a requirement. You can easily just jump once with our solo course.
If you are in doubt as to whether you can do a solo jump, you are always welcome to contact us by email: info@dropzonedenmark.dk or phone: +45 22 40 11 17.

Not quite ready for a solo skydiving course yet?
Begin your adventure in free fall with a tandem skydive
If a solo skydiving course doesn’t feel like the right fit for you just yet, but you’re dreaming of an unforgettable adventure in the skies with a skydive in Central Jutland or a skydive in Northern Jutland, a tandem skydive could be the perfect option.
With far fewer requirements than a solo course – and no age limit – tandem skydiving gives you the chance to experience the thrill of freefall with nothing to worry about except enjoying the moment!
Strapped securely to one of our experienced instructors, you’ll climb to altitude, feel the adrenaline build, and then leap into the ultimate rush: pure freefall! After the parachute opens, you’ll float back to safe grounds while taking in breathtaking views of Denmark from above. It’s the easiest, safest, and most exciting way to try skydiving for the very first time.
Do you need to do a tandem jump before you can do a solo skydive?
Well, the short answer is: no.
It is a general misconception that you must do a tandem jump before you can do a solo skydive. That is just not the case. Although it undeniably can be a good preparation, you can easily do your first skydive as a solo jump. You don't even need to have flown in an airplane before. All it takes is a desire, will and courage!
Our solo skydiving course is structured in a way so you learn everything you need to perform a safe solo skydive.
If you then want to continue with the education and become a fully certified skydiver, after your first jump, you are already well underway. It is not required though, so you can easily just make the one jump with our solo course.
Have you done a Static Line or IAD skydive and want to continue your skydiving education with an AFF course?
Have you already experienced a Static Line or IAD skydive? Do you want to continue your skydiving education with an AFF course – and truly experience the freedom of freefall?
With an AFF conversion course at Dropzone Denmark, you can jump from 4.5 km, feel the adrenaline for longer, and experience what it’s like to fly through the air on your own.
At Dropzone Denmark, we help you build on your skydiving skills. Our IAD to AFF conversion course starts with 1.5 hours of theory, covering everything you need to know before taking your first AFF Level 1 jump from 4.5 km. The price for the course including your first AFF Level 1 jump is 2,195 DKK.
Flexibility and freedom at your own pace
After your first AFF jump, you can continue your education exactly how you want. You decide the pace and how many AFF levels you wish to complete – and when you’re ready, you can complete the full training and earn a full skydiving license as an independent jumper!
Make your dream of freefall a reality – sign up for your first AFF jump after Static Line or IAD today and experience the adrenaline like never before!
Note: If more than 12 months have passed since your last skydive, a recurrency course costing 500 DKK is required before continuing your AFF training.
Frequently asked questions about a solo skydiving course
Find everything you need to know in the various tabs below. If you have any further questions, you are welcome to call +45 22 40 11 17.
Are there age restrictions for a solo skydive course?
To participate in a solo skydiving jump, you must be at least 16 years old. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must provide a signed consent form. The form can either be completed upon arrival at our reception, or you can print it in advance and bring it with you.
You can find a print-ready PDF here: signature form.
Weight Limit and Physical Requirements for Solo Skydiving Course
To participate in a solo skydiving course, you must weigh a maximum of 110 kg, including clothing and shoes. You should have a reasonable level of flexibility to arch your back during freefall and move your arms freely above your head.
If you have previously had a shoulder injury, it is a requirement that you contact us us before your skydive.
Skydiving is a physically- and mentally intense experience, so it’s important that you arrive rested and alert to your course, to get the best experience of your first skydive.
how much time should I set a side for my solo skydiving course?
We recommend setting aside the entire weekend for your first solo skydiving course. The theory course itself usually takes around 5 hours, including breaks. During the course, there is the option to purchase dinner at our café at reasonable prices.
The actual jump typically takes place the day after the theory course, weather permitting. You should arrive at 8:00 AM for the final theory session, which lasts about an hour. Then, when it is time for your skydive, you will be geared up and will go up in the plane with your instructors at the earliest opportunity.
Please note that exceptionally good weather conditions are required to safely complete a skydive as a student. As an AFF student, you should always expect some waiting time.
If you are unable to make the jump on the first weekend after the theory course, you are welcome to come on any day we are open to complete your jump. No registration is required, but it’s a good idea to follow our Facebook group, where we continuously update the weather conditions for jumps.
You can even leave a comment on these posts indicating that you would like to come on a specific day for your AFF Level 1 skydive. This allows us to provide you with more detailed information about times and other details. As a general rule, it’s best to arrive when we open, as this gives you the greatest chance of making a jump that day. Always set aside the entire day for a jump.
Time and arrival
You should arrive at the time indicated on your booking. For example, if you have a theory course booked on Friday at 5:00 PM, we expect you to arrive promptly at 5:00 PM.
On the day of your actual jump, please arrive at 8:00 AM on weekends and 3:00 PM on weekdays.
Can my solo skydive be filmed?
As a standard, both of your instructors will record your jump. The main purpose of the video is to provide a better evaluation of your jump, and it is therefore not produced as a professional video product. You are, of course, welcome to receive the video afterward.
If you would like a professionally edited video plus 100+ photos from an external cameraman, we can usually offer this.
The price is 995 DKK and includes the entire experience: pre- and post-briefing, preparation on the ground, the atmosphere in the plane, the jump itself, and the landing. An external videographer provides a much better overall experience, and especially the views are captured beautifully.
Can I bring my own GoPro on a solo skydive?
For safety reasons, the Danish Transport Authority requires that you have completed a minimum of 150 solo skydives before you are allowed to bring a camera on your jump.
Therefore, it is unfortunately not permitted to bring your own camera on your first solo skydiving jump.
What language will the skydiving course be conducted in?
Since you will be earning an international license, and our instructor team consists of both Danish and international instructors, most of the instruction will be conducted in English.
If you are not comfortable following the course in English, please contact us in advance so we can find a suitable solution.
Can I jump with a friend on the same skydiving course?
With our large and fast aircraft, we can accommodate up to 20 jumpers at a time.
While we always do our best to plan for as many people as possible to fly together, there are many factors that need to align for a solo jump. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that you will jump at the same time as your friends.
If you do get on the plane together, you will not exit at the same time and will not be close to each other during the skydive.
Can I bring friends and family when I make my first solo skydive?
Your friends and family are, of course, very welcome to come and watch you jump! However, they cannot attend the theory course unless they also sign up. They can therefore only visit on the day you are scheduled to jump.
While waiting, they can enjoy a cold drink or a tasty snack from our café, and you will land just a few meters away from them so they can follow your jump closely.
Please note that we cannot guarantee the exact time of your jump. Waiting times may occur, and sometimes it may even happen that you have to wait the entire day before getting up in the air.
Is food and drink provided during the skydiving course?
At our Dropzone in Herning, we have a cozy café where you can always purchase drinks, snacks, and light meals.
During the theory course, you’ll have the option to buy dinner, and on jump day, breakfast is available at reasonable prices.
At our Sindal location, we don’t have a full kitchen, but we always offer freshly brewed coffee, cold drinks, and tasty snacks.
Does the weather impact my first solo skydive?
Yes, the weather has a significant impact on your first skydiving jump.
As a first-time skydiving student, the conditions must be exceptionally good, since safety is always our top priority.
You should expect some waiting time, and jumps may be delayed if the wind exceeds 7 m/s or other conditions are not ideal.
What should I wear for my first solo skydive?
Bring practical clothing that allows you to move freely. Make sure to wear closed shoes with laces that fit securely – sandals, slip-ons, boots, or high heels are not allowed.
The higher we go, the colder it gets, so bring extra layers that you can put on if needed. It’s better to wear several thin layers than one thick one. A good rule of thumb is to wear one extra layer compared to what you’d normally wear outside.
We provide gloves, helmet, and jumpsuit, so you’ll be fully equipped for your jump.
You can wear contact lenses or glasses as long as the glasses are not too large and fit securely during the jump.
Postponement and rebooking
A skydive depends on several factors, including the weather, the aircraft, and the equipment. We understand that you want to jump at exactly the time you planned, but sometimes this is not possible.
For a solo jump, you do not have a fixed time for the actual jump. We stay in continuous contact with you about when you can show up, and we ensure that you get in the air as soon as possible. It’s a good idea to follow our Facebook group, and you can always check our scheduled opening days in our event calendar.
If more than one month has passed between your theory course and your jump, some of the theory will be refreshed on the jump day itself, so allow a little extra time for preparation.
If more than 12 months have passed since your course, a recurrency course costing 500 DKK is required before you continue.
How should I be insured to participate in a skydiving course?
To participate in a skydiving course, you must have valid accident insurance that covers parachuting. Standard travel or leisure insurance usually only covers your first jump, as the sport is not considered a hobby until you have completed multiple jumps.
We recommend that you contact your insurance provider to ensure that their coverage includes extreme sports or specifically skydiving. It is your responsibility to have the necessary insurance in place before starting the course.
How do I use my gift card to book a skydiving course?
A gift card from Dropzone Denmark is valid for 30 months (2.5 years) from the date of issue.
To book with a Dropzone Denmark gift card, you need to enter the code from your gift card during the booking process. Click the button that says “jeg har et gavekort” and enter the code found on your card. Then click “fortsæt” and your gift card will be redeemed.
Remember to bring either a physical or digital copy of your gift card on the day of your course.
Please note that if your course is postponed, the validity of the gift card will not be extended, so make sure to use it before the expiry date.
If you have a gift card from TrueStory, you can book your jump directly on their website. For gift cards from other providers, please contact us at info@dropzonedenmark.dk.
