We are proud of our private airport and community of experienced skydivers. We welcome visiting jumpers with open arms and look forward to sharing the sky over east Tennessee with you. We have a climate controlled building with training rooms, padded indoor packing area, and free WiFi.
We communicate most frequently with our fun jumpers on our private Facebook group and welcome you to join us.
We are excited to have you join us for some skydiving. Please make sure to have the following when arriving at Skydive East Tennessee:
We offer the Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) Course, which is a fast-track program designed to teach you to safely skydive from the First Jump Course (FJC) to becoming a licensed skydiver in around 25 jumps. No prior skydiving experience is required. That's right, you do not have to do a tandem skydive before starting AFF, however making a tandem jump first is an option that many people choose and tandem skydives do count towards the 25 jumps needed to earn your A-license.
We typically schedule the first jump courses on a Friday evening starting at 5pm and lasting around 4-5 hours. You will make your first skydive, Category A, the following morning weather permitting. You will then progress through the student levels A-H and complete all the ground, free-fall and canopy requirements to earn your A-license. A motivated and consistent skydiver typically completes their A-License in 1-2 months.
