About us

Based on an airfield next to Vatulino village by Ruza, Moscow Region, the Aeroclassica club is a non-profit making club. We are dedicated to making parachuting and skydiving safe and fun for everyone interested in and taking part in the sport.

We provide first-time-jump courses and tandem skydives. With your safety and wellbeing as our paramount aim.

Open all year round on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Any changes in the schedule will be announced in our News page.

Short NOTE: on Fridays we usually start working in the afternoon and make 1-3 loads if there is enough skydivers. If you plan to come on Friday please call in advance.

Short NOTE: As you probably know Antonov An-2 is an extremely durable, light, single-engine biplane which first flew on 31 August 1947 and was the first plane designed by Antonov. It is used as a light transport, capable of carrying 12 passengers, and for parachute drops and agricultural work. It’s slow-flight and STOL (short take-off and landing) capabilities make it suited for short, unimproved fields, and some specialized variants have also been built for cold weather and other extreme environments.

Safety requirements

To avoid any losses we recommend leaving your belongings with your friends or parents on the ground when jumping such as:

  • Watches, bracelets (any on-hand jewelry), massive earrings etc.
  • Car keys, I-pods etc. (nothing should be in your pockets) The only exception can be made for cell phones which might be very helpful in case you land far away from the dropzone.

If you take children with you please remember that they should be under constant supervision of your relatives or friends: not only will they be a danger to themselves but others also.
A dropzone is not a playground for kids and can be dangerous.

Please avoid bringing your pets with you: a dropzone must be kept clear at all times.

Strictly prohibited

  • consumption of alcoholic beverages, use of drugs before and after jumping smoking outside the «smoking area». All parachute equipments are highly flammable!
  • to enter runaway, landing area or aircraft parking area without special permission
  • to throw and drop litter around the territory
  • to bring pets to the dropzone
  • to leave children unsupervised

Based on the Weather

Skydiving is a sport governed by the weather and can affect whether it is safe to jump or not such as:

  • strong wind (this can lead to a high horizontal speed on landing);
  • low cloud cover (difficult or impossible to identify dropping position);
  • bad visibility, (rain, snow, fog etc.);
  • high humidity level in wintertime (may cause airframe icing).

...which means that you will have to wait for favourable conditions.

Favorable weather is when density is high, sky visibility is not lower than 50%, wind speed lower than 5 m/s (7m/s is maximum in basic safety requirements).

Sometimes there can be curfews and jump cancellations due to special events.
