drop zone · Perranporth, Cornwall
Skydive Cornwall
A drop zone that runs on its own software, office to hangar.
The club's system grew into JumpOps, our drop zone management software for UK skydiving centres.

the problem
The club ran on paper arrival forms, with Bookeo for tandems. Knowing whether a jumper's medical, reserve repack and AAD were in date was a job for whoever was on the desk. The old five-page Wix site had no requirements page, no FAQ and no voucher page.
the approach
We jump, so we started from the manifest desk rather than the website. British Skydiving's rules and the club's own became checks on every jumper. Paperwork moved onto customers' phones and an airfield iPad. Changes to anything safety-related need a named sign-off before they ship.
what we built
The working parts.
A clear-to-jump gate
Nobody is cleared to jump until every document and kit check is initialled. The checks are British Skydiving's rules and the club's own. The office sets each to off, warn or block, and a British Skydiving rule can't go below its minimum.
Manifest and load sheets
Loads, instructors, AFF and tandem students and aircraft, with printed load sheets and expiry tracking for medicals, reserve repacks and AADs, chased by reminder emails.
Paperwork on the customer's phone
Tandem customers get a link for their indemnity, media consent and BS Form 115A, with a guardian step for under-18s.
An airfield iPad
An installable app with PIN-locked customer cards and finger signatures. Check-in produces the British Skydiving CSV export.
A hangar TV on a Raspberry Pi
Boots straight into the next three loads, with the winds one press away, refreshing every 20 seconds.
A jump-run brief
Built on our own freefall simulator: a recommended jump run and spot, and each jumper's drift and separation, from the forecast winds.
Jumper accounts and the rest
Club members sign in without a password to see whether they're clear to jump and keep a logbook with PDF export. Bookings sync with Bookeo, camera customers with Freefall Films. A new 11-page website is built and waiting to launch.
