About us.
BPS Langar is a full-time school with training and jumping continuing all year-round. We are open seven days a week, every day of the year (except Christmas Day!). We have unlimited altitude, no other aircraft activities and no air traffic problems. Pilots and instructors are always present on the airfield, keen to get you jumping. Built as a bomber base in World War II, the Airfield is now used exclusively by the Parachute School with two Cessna Grand Caravan turbine aircraft. Covering some 1,750,000 square metres, Langar is one of the largest civilian Drop Zones in the country.
Our staff will help you progress in the sport, providing complete training from BPA Category 1 (Beginner) to Category 8 (Qualified Solo Skydiver), and on to Formation Skydiving, Freeflying, Skysurfing and all other modern disciplines. British Parachute Schools has been operating at Langar since 1977. Our jumpers make a combined total of more than 30,000 jumps each year - by British Parachute Association (BPA) statistics, we are the UK's busiest dropzone.
For a 'taster' of our sport, Tandem Skydives provide you with an experience of around 50 seconds in freefall while securely attached to an experienced BPA instructor! If your aim is to become a Skydiver in your own right, then either the Basic Skydiving or Accelerated Freefall (AFF) courses are for you. These alternative courses each take about 18 skydives to complete, at which point you will be eligible to apply for your Skydiver's International 'A' Certificate. As a full time skydiving centre, we are in an excellent position to offer ongoing coaching to intermediate and experienced skydivers, from help in choosing a first set of equipment through to enhancing skills up to Competition level - with further training from National Champions and World Record Holders.
