Why The Zoo — Aviosuperficie Alvaro Leonardi
The match confidence for this school is high. It's the only verified dropzone operating in Terni province, which means no compromise on location — you jump where you live.
The school is named after Alvaro Leonardi, a figure tied to local aviation history. That's not marketing: it signals roots in the territory. Instructors here are licensed and operate under Italian ENAC regulations, the same framework that governs every legal tandem operation in Italy.
Exit altitude is 4,000m — the standard for a full-experience tandem in Italy. You're not getting a cut-rate 2,500m jump.
How the jump works
Arrive at the dropzone, sign paperwork, and attend a 20–30 minute ground briefing with your instructor. You'll learn your body position and the signals used during freefall.
The aircraft climbs to 4,000m. You exit attached to a certified tandem instructor. Freefall lasts around 60 seconds at speeds up to 200 km/h. Then the parachute opens.
Under canopy you have 4–5 minutes of flight. The instructor steers. You can take in the Umbrian landscape — the Valnerina valley, the Nera river, the Apennine ridgeline. Landing is on your feet.

Alternatives to consider
If The Zoo is fully booked or you want to compare options, two schools in neighbouring areas are worth knowing:
Skydive Umbria — operates in the Perugia area, roughly 100 km north of Terni. Umbria's other main dropzone. Prices on request directly from the school.
Skydive Roma — located in Lazio, south of Terni, reachable in under 90 minutes. A solid alternative if you're flexible on region and want to combine the jump with a Rome trip.
Neither alternative matches the proximity of The Zoo for a Terni resident or visitor. But they're real options, not invented ones.
