INTERNATIONAL AIBORNE OPERATIONS is aware that many soldiers, whilst wishing so, do not have a chance to receive formal Airborne training provided by national Parachute Training Schools (for details please click here) during their service. In spite of this, following their retirement – or being in the reserve list – they are still interested to be trained in military parachuting.

To bridge this gap and satisfy their noble desire, INTERNATIONAL AIBORNE OPERATIONS offers a unique opportunity to absolute beginners to attend basic military parachute training in order to be able to join airborne operations.

To this end, military parachute basic training of high quality standard is provided to novices. Airborne Training is carried out by experienced military instructors. The whole array of related aspects is fully covered with emphasis on the use of the parachute rig, overall safety and parachute landing falls (PLF's).

Parachute jumps are conducted with the use of static line parachute systems (i.e. automatic opening) from the host unit’s jump ship. The jumps (with the option of one jump with combat equipment) qualify the participant as a military parachutist and enable him/her to participate in airborne operations worldwide.

Basic airborne training courses are culminated with the award of the coveted national Parachute Wings of the host unit including an official certificate.

Besides to the military basic military parachute courses (i.e. automatic opening) INTERNATIONAL AIBORNE OPERATIONS will provide freefall courses (i.e. manual opening) in the future (for details please click here). Those freefall courses will be conducted in the AFF (accelerated freefall) procedure by highly qualified instructors with much military experience.

Interested civilians may also participate in the INTERNATIONAL AIBORNE OPERATIONS basic Airborne training courses in limited numbers.

New Airborne training courses will follow soon!
