Accelerated Freefall (AFF) Full Course (involving 8 levels), the modern method to learn skydiving.

OBJECTIVE :

Learning solo Freefall in 8 levels supervised by 2 experienced skydiving instructors.

PROGRAMME :

Before the first jump: 6-8 hours of ground tuition with your instructors. You will learn safety procedures, how the equipment operates, how to exit the aircraft, how to communicate with your instructors in freefall, how to fly the parachute and how to adopt the free fall position.

Your first jump: You will exit the aircraft at 12,000 ft accompanied by your two AFF instructors. They will continue to teach you during freefall using hand signals. Your skydive will last about 40 seconds at 120mph and you will be supervised by your instructors. Smile (you're on camera!), learn, and fly...!

At 5,000 ft you (or your instructor) will open your parachute - via radio, you will receive guidance on how to manoeuvre your parachute to land.
