Q: What are the gear requirements? A: Your skydiving rig must be packed in-date with the Canadian 180-day reserve parachute repack cycle. Your skydiving rig must also be equipped with an AAD (Automatic Activation Device). Q: Are gear rentals available?  A: Yes, gear rentals are available!  A little over twenty Javelin-brand rigs are available, including Sabre and Navigator canopies. They are all equipped with Cypres or Vigil AAD's, and altimeters are also included in rent.

Q: Do I need a minimum number of jumps?
A: There is no minimum to be able to attend the event. You may jump as long as you are solo certified. An instructor checkout jump may be required to verify your jumping skills. If you already have an A-license or better, and your logbook and gear are in date, you will not require any coach jumps.  Please contact Nouvel-Air for more information.

Q: I am experienced but haven't jumped in a long time.  Is this OK?
A: No problem! Nouvel-Air can do refresher instruction and coach jumps at a very nominal rate.   Please contact Nouvel-Air for more information.

Q: What jump planes does Nouvel-Air use? A: Four Jump Planes!  A Twin Otter and three Beech-18.  Nouvel-Air just obtained a Twin Otter for 2006, along with their Beech-18 jump planes.  The jump altitude is 13,000 feet.  A Twin Otter can hold up to 23 skydivers, and a Beech-18 can hold up to 13 skydivers.  These planes are much larger than the typical Cessna flown at most Canadian dropzones.  As a result, all the planes combined Nouvel-Air can move over a hundred jumpers per hour during peak periods to jump altitude on back-to-back loads, much more than any Canadian dropzone!  Nouvel-Air has the capacity to hold a large skydiving boogie, with capacity for many hundreds of jumps per day.  Bring all friends that you know!

Q: Is camping available on the dropzone? I want to spend on jump tickets!
A: Yes! You can pitch a tent on site. Camping is free, as are hot showers.

Q: Is drinking allowed?
A: Yes - only AFTER operating hours.  We have BBQ and beer parties planned during this rainbow skydive boogie!   Drinking on dropzone property during  operating hours is strictly forbidden.  Drinking beer and other alcoholic beverages are allowed at sunset after the last jump plane has left the ground.

Q: My question hasn't been answered?
A: Please feel free to email info@rainbowskydive.com to ask further questions about Rainbow Boogie. Also, www.nouvelair.ca has more information about the dropzone.  If you have dropzone-specific questions, you may also contact Nouvel-Air.
