When carrying out a display, the team splits down into two elements; the ground element and the air element. Each has a distinct role and one cannot operate without the other.

The ground crew are responsible for setting up the Drop Zone (DZ) in a manner which conforms to the rigorous procedures as set by both the Army Parachute Association (APA) and the British Parachute Association (BPA) who are the governing bodies for sports parachuting within the Army and civilian environments respectively. The primary concern of the ground crew is the safety of the parachutists and the spectators at an event. They will check weather conditions and provide indicators of wind direction for the descending parachutists. If required, they will also provide a very able commentator for the event organiser.

The air crew consists of between two and five parachutists. Generally, they will exit the aircraft, at the time requested by the event organiser, from between 2,500 feet and 10,000 feet depending upon weather conditions and location. When carrying out a higher altitude show they will freefall for between 10 and 40 seconds before opening their Royal Signals coloured canopies and expertly descending into the arena whilst trailing brightly coloured smoke and large flags. If requested, the team will then present itself to any honoured guests or spectators before exiting the arena and re-packing their parachutes on site. Of course, the team will be delighted to answer any question relating to the Royal Corps of Signals and sports parachuting should any spectator have an interest.

The team can be booked for any event such as open days, fetes, galas, social or corporate functions, sporting events or even weddings.

The team will carry out a detailed inspection of any potential arena at least 4 weeks prior to the intended event. They will use aircraft from the nearest suitable location to the planned event. The team will carry out all the necessary administration to authorise the parachute display with the Civil Aviation Authority and also to hire an aircraft and pilot. As a minimum, the arena into which the team will parachute must NOT be SMALLER than 50 x 100 METRES. The event organiser is responsible for ensuring that adequate crowd control measures are in place to prevent any unauthorised person from entering the arena during any element of the display.
