The CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) deal many issues including pilot's licences. For parachuting I suggest you contact the British Parachute Association in Leicester. There are a number of medical conditions that would mean automatic exclusion. Also unless you are really fit you need to be 55 or under (bones break easier as we age). Rules are obviously different for tandem jumps.

Not what you're looking for?
