Frequently asked questions
Tandem
What is the flight schedule?
Please check the detailed schedule for each location.
Where can the jumps take place?
You can jump at one of our locations: Clinceni (near Bucharest) or Tuzla (by the seaside).
What are the risks of skydiving?
Thanks to technological progress, strict aviation protocols, and the passion of those in the field, skydiving has become increasingly safe. In fact, the injury rate is lower than in other extreme sports like skiing or climbing.
All equipment we use is modern and maintained according to manufacturer guidelines and aviation regulations. The parachute system you’ll be jumping with includes two parachutes (main and reserve) and a highly precise electronic device called AAD (Automatic Activation Device), which will deploy the reserve parachute automatically at a safe altitude if the instructor is incapacitated.
However, you must be aware that skydiving and all air sports involve risks that can lead to serious physical and/or psychological injury, or even death. When signing up for your jump, you’ll be required to read and sign a form that outlines all risks in detail.
I want to offer a skydive as a gift. What contact information do I need, and how do I send the invitation?
Go to the “Invite a Friend” option on the homepage and fill in the details for both yourself and the person receiving the gift. Be careful when entering both email addresses, as the invitation (in PDF format) will be sent to both. If you’d prefer to give the invitation in person at a later date, you can enter your own email address for both fields.
We’re a group of friends. Can we jump together?
It may be possible for two or three tandem passengers to board the same flight. However, due to operational constraints, this cannot be guaranteed.
Even if you’re on the same plane, jumps will be staggered, so you won’t be able to see each other in freefall.
If you’re in separate flights, you’ll be able to watch each other’s landings from the drop zone.
What are the differences between the packages?
BASIC – no video or photos included.
EXTRA – includes either video or photos (your choice), taken by a cameraflyer in freefall and upon landing.
FULL – includes both video and photos.
PREMIUM – a spectacular experience with 3 cameraflyers forming a freefall formation with you, just like a pro. Includes both video and photos, plus a premium edit with multiple angles.
When and how do I receive the video and photos?
If you chose video and/or photo, you’ll receive a download link via email within 24 hours of your jump. Please ensure you enter the correct email address during registration at the dropzone.
What equipment is used to film/photograph my jump? What’s special about the photos?
Videos are recorded with GoPro Hero 7 or newer, FullHD 16:9 wide (fish eye) with image stabilization.
Photos are taken with separate GoPro Hero 11 or newer cameras at 27MP resolution in 8:7 linear format (no fish eye).
Unlike screenshots from video, still photos:
– Have over 10x more detail (27MP vs. 2MP for video stills), allowing for large prints;
– Are not affected by video compression artifacts;
– Are nearly square (8:7), ideal for social media and flexible for cropping;
– Are linear, with no fish-eye distortion.
Additionally, the cameraflyer will take extra ground photos with your instructor and friends!
Are there age, weight, or height limits?
The minimum age for tandem skydiving with ACS TNT Brothers is 16. Anyone under 18 must present a notarized consent form signed by both parents or legal guardian (download the form here).
Jumpers over 60 must present a valid medical certificate or Class 2 medical clearance.
Maximum weight is 110 kg (242 lbs). There is no height limit.
What documents are required?
You must present a valid original ID (national ID or passport) on the day of your jump. Without it, you will not be allowed to jump.
Jumpers aged 16–18 must also present the original notarized parental/legal guardian consent form (download the form here).
Jumpers over 60 must bring a valid original medical certificate or Class 2 medical clearance.
I have a medical condition. What should I know?
If you have any medical condition, consult your doctor first. Also, let us know in advance so we can assess whether the jump can be done safely.
Can people with disabilities jump tandem?
Ask your doctor for an opinion. Operationally, most disabilities do not prevent tandem skydiving. Let us know in advance so we can evaluate safety. Our instructors have experience flying with people with disabilities.
When should I arrive at the dropzone and how long does it take?
Please arrive at the dropzone at the time selected in your booking.
First, you’ll check in at reception and complete your registration with the association. There, you’ll receive additional information.
From arrival to jump, the entire process may take up to 3 hours.
The plane ride and skydive take about 30 minutes. While waiting, you can relax at our on-site bar and terrace, right in the heart of our skydiving community.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothes – sport pants and sneakers that won’t slip off. Avoid loose clothing, skirts, heels, or sandals.
Will I wear a helmet? What if I have long hair?
No helmet will be worn, regardless of hair length or outside temperature. Long hair must be tied up securely in a bun.
I wear contact lenses or glasses. Can I still jump?
Yes. All passengers receive special goggles designed to fit tightly to your face to block wind. If you wear glasses, you’ll get “over-the-glasses” skydiving goggles.
Can I breathe during freefall?
Yes. Just remember to exhale so you can inhale again. Your instructor will explain the proper body position for freefall and how to stay relaxed.
Can I eat before the jump?
Yes. If you’re prone to motion sickness, avoid heavy meals to reduce the chance of nausea.
Can I drink alcohol before the jump?
No. Anyone under the influence of alcohol will not be allowed to jump. You’re welcome to enjoy a drink after your jump on our terrace.
Is food or drink available at the dropzone?
Yes, we have a bar and terrace at both Clinceni and Tuzla dropzones. At Clinceni, we also offer freshly cooked food from our in-house kitchen.
Can I bring my family? Is there a place for them to wait?
Yes, you can bring family and friends. They can wait on the terrace or the lawn near the hangar.
Children must be supervised at all times. Pets must be leashed and are allowed only in outdoor areas.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Certain weather conditions (strong wind, low clouds) may be unsafe for jumping. In such cases, your jump can be rescheduled within one calendar year from your booking or gift voucher date (whichever applies).
Check the schedule for each location, as activity is seasonal.
Please read our terms and conditions carefully – and most importantly, don’t wait until the last minute to book!
