Required Classes & Training
Packing Class
Packing your own parachute is an A CoP requirement. Learn from the best! Parachute packing classes are led by our stellar team of FAA Master and Senior Riggers and take place in our fully-equipped rigging loft.
Wednesdays | $35
EP Review
It’s always a good time to review emergency procedures. An EP Review booked first thing in the morning is free as long as you have at least one jump on your Parachute Ottawa account. EP Reviews at other times and walk-ins are $25.
Virtual CoP Briefings
Briefings are a key educational component towards achieving your Certificate of Proficiency. Don’t waste time at the dropzone sitting in briefings, book your virtual briefing and spend more time jumping!
Recurrency Training
If you are uncurrent, the first requirement is to renew your CSPA membership. The recurrency process then depends on your most recent CoP and how long it’s been since your last jump.
