Frequently asked questions

The Big Leap will be on 16 May and 2 October 2026.

Yes, this will be an extra cost on the day.

By signing up to The Big Leaaap in aid of East Anglian Air Ambulance, you pledge to raise a minimum of £350. If you are unable to raise £350 prior to the date of your skydive, you have a few options to choose from:  Defer your skydive to another day to give you more time to fundraise  or self-fund the cost of your place and pay the balance of your skydive on the day . Please let us know at least one month prior to event day if you feel that you will be unable to raise the £350 target and we will help you to decide how you would like to proceed.

When you sign up, we will send you an EAAA fundraising pack with lots of hints and tips on ways to meet your fundraising target. Most people choose to collect their fundraising online, this is handy as it keeps all your donations in one place, and the money is transferred to EAAA automatically, so less admin for you!

Absolutely! Please make your booking directly with UK Parachuting and let us know the date you will be skydiving instead. If you are self-funding your skydive (ie paying the full cost yourself) there is no minimum sponsorship requirement. However, if you only pay the £50 registration fee, we will expect a minimum of £350 to be raised before the date of your skydive. If you have already arranged a skydive with another venue and have chosen to fundraise for us when doing so – we’d love to hear all about it and would be happy to send you some fundraising materials to help!

The minimum age is 16. There is no upper age limit.

The weight limit for a Tandem Sky dive is Male 16 stone 7 pounds (106 Kgs) Women 15 stone 7 pounds Stone (99 Kgs) with clothing.

A self-declaration medical certificate is required, however, regardless of age, you do not need to get a medical form signed by a doctor to take part in a Tandem skydive. If you have doubts about your fitness to do a tandem jump, please discuss this with your doctor.

Lots more helpful FAQs can also be found on the  UK parachuting site.
