speedy 0 #1 April 25, 2007 http://persianmirror.com/Article_det.cfm?id=1378&getArticleCategory=41&getArticleSubCategory=2 From - Persian Mirror PAAviation is in the process of opening the FIRST skydiving centre in Iran. Due to the fact that we have female instructors, this will also be the first UNISEX skydive centre in the entire Middle East, uniquely allowing Muslim women to experience the thrill and exhilaration of skydiving. We have exclusive use of a brand new Britten-Norman Islander aircraft. This is the first western made aircraft supplied to Iran since the revolution, click here. We will be based at Azadi airport, just 50 km from Tehran, on the Tehran Qazvin Highway. We have British and European instructors with full international certification, ensuring that our students will be trained in a safe and professional manner. Students are required to pre-book the time and date of the jump. Upon completion of their booking, they can proceed to our airfield at Azadi airport. On the day of the jump, our instructors give a pre-flight safety and ground school briefing, explaining exactly what happens during the skydive. Tandem jumps will be performed, which means that the students will be safely strapped harnessed to the instructor at all times. Once the safety briefing is complete,The aircraft takes off, and will climb to 10000feet, at this altitude, the instructor and student exit the aircraft, and freefall at speeds over 300KPH! After approximately 60 seconds of free falling, the instructor opens the parachute canopy, and allows the student to steer the parachute on to the drop zone. ----------------------------------------------------- Looking at the freefall speeds it looks like they are doing drogueless tandems.

How do u get 60sec of freefall from 10000? 4 second canopy ride? But wait that's only if your freefall speed is 120 mph, they are claiming over 186 mph.

crotalus01 0 #5 April 25, 2007 I am trying to get a visa to go to Iran later this year and did a search for DZs in Iran (there are some private clubs BTW), and this one came up.
