about the club
The Irish Parachute Club has been operational since 1956 and is one of the longest running non military/non commercial parachute clubs in the world - in 2006 we celebrated our 50th anniversary.
We are open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, all year round. During the summer months, we open every day except Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Upon request, are happy to open any day for special events.
Our skydiving facilities compare with the best in the world.
We are constantly striving to improve our facilities and our aircraft, most recently this is evident in our purchase of a turbine Pilatus Porter PC-6 (10 skydiver aircraft) which, much to the delight of our regular skydivers, allows us to fly higher, faster! We can now fly to 14,000ft in 14 minutes! Higher and faster than any other skydiving aircraft in Ireland. As we are a non-profit organisation therefore all funds go back into our club to improve our facilities. We are currently planning to fully tarmac our runway before the end of the year.
Static line, Tandem and Accelerated FreeFall courses are all available at the IPC for the novice who want to start skydiving. For the experienced skydiver, Freefly and Canopy Piloting courses are also available, as well as regular weekend FS Load Organising.
