Referral Program

At Piedmont Skydiving, we have one of the best referral programs around! If you send a tandem our way and they put your name on the waiver as how they heard about us — you get a free jump. No milling around the parking lot though and asking every jumper.

Aircraft & Landing Area

The PAC 750 XL

The PAC 750 XL can carry up to 16 jumpers to altitude in under 15 minutes and is the newest member of the Piedmont Fleet, purchased at the beginning of the 2020 season. As we’ve grown into a bigger and better skydiving facility over the years of serving Charlotte, North Carolina, and surrounding areas, we’ve found the need to improve our fleet, and this aircraft does just that!

Minimums: 6 Fun Jumpers | 2 Tandems/AFF | 1 Tandem/AFF, 3 Fun Jumpers

The King Air A90

Piedmont Skydiving’s King Air A90 was our very first turbine aircraft. Slightly smaller than the PAC750, this plane is still a favorite of both experienced and tandem skydivers. Its simple and elegant design also makes it a beautiful sight in the sky. This multi-engine turbine aircraft can carry 13 jumpers to altitude in only about 10 minutes. The King Air’s maximum speed is about 290mph and can climb at a rate over 2,000ft per minute!

Minimums: 8 Fun Jumpers | 3 Tandems/AFF| 2 Tandems/AFF, 2 Fun Jumpers | 1 Tandem/AFF, 5 Fun Jumpers

    This experience is SO worth it. I highly recommend it. It was something I had always wanted to do. My 60th birthday was my motivation to get it done. I smiled the whole way. I've ridden so many roller coasters throughout my life I was never one bit nervous. You don't have to do any of the work. You just go along for the ride. And what a ride it is- from start to finish. Such a thrill!

    First-timer here: IT WAS GREAT!! JOSH was SUPER as my tandem-partner. Josh said: "If you don't jump when I say jump, I will push you." Well, he pushed me. And I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. For 1 second. Then I settled into a beautiful drop through the blue sky. I could not even tell the Earth was approaching quickly from 12,000 feet up, then 9000, then 6000. It has been just 2 days, and I am ready to go back. ASK FOR JOSH!!!!!!!!

    I have jumped twice with Piedmont Skydiving and they are absolutely incredible. Great price, and the pics/videos you get are high quality and worth every penny. Dakota is a great instructor and I would 10000% ask for him every time. He has got me hooked to skydiving and I want to thank everyone at Piedmont for awaking a new love in me!
