AFF Course (Full Course)
The Accelerated Freefall (AFF) course is a new progressive fast track skydiver training programme which takes you from complete beginner to Category 8 qualified skydiver in 8 jumps. Your course starts with a day of ground training with your AFF instructor on equipment, aircraft exit, freefall, in air training signals and parachute control.
On Level 1 of the course you are assisted by two AFF instructors who stabilize you and train you with in air signals until you are freefalling with more confidence. By Level 5 you are jumping with one instructor. Level 8 is your first solo exit from the aircraft. This course is fairly intensive and you will need to be committed and determined. Levels 1 to 7 are from 12 000 feet and Level 8 is from 5 000 feet. |

Itinerary & Highlights
TRAINING The first day of the course is dedicated to ground school; which consists of a 6 hour training session, split between theory and practical.
Level 1. Your first jump is with two instructors and is designed to teach you the basics; exits, stability, altitude awareness and control of the parachute canopy. Three practice ripcord pulls, altitude awareness and the actual pull, are all part of this jump. The instructors hold on to you throughout the freefall portion of this jump. Radio assistance is given under canopy during the descent and landing if necessary.
Level 2. As level 1 but with only 2 practice pulls and a turn to the left and right.
Level 3. Instructors ‘release’ you, allowing you to fly alone, but staying in close proximity to re-grip and provide assistance if necessary.
Level 4. Exiting with just one instructor holding on exit, 180 degree left turn and 180 right and forward movement.
Level 5. One instructor holds you on exit, 360 left turn, 360 right and forward movement.
Level 6. Dive exit with instructor following. Back loop, delta track, 360 turn and delta track.
Level 7. Dive exit instructor following. Back loop, delta track, 360 turn left, 360 right.
Level 8. Solo exit from 5,000 feet, followed by deployment of your canopy within a few seconds. This familiarizes you with a lower exit altitude and a faster pull.
On completion of level 8 you graduate from AFF. Following graduation you must make 10 further jumps, called consolidation jumps, under the guidance of an AFF instructor. These jumps allow you to practice what you have learnt on your own. On completion you are qualified as a category 8 skydiver and can join in with the regular skydivers and start to have some serious fun. The course fee includes P6 membership to the British Parachute Association, third party insurance, all instruction, hire of parachutes, helmets, radios, altimeters, overalls, your aircraft ride and your jumps, excluding re-jumps. EQUIPMENT. Everything you need is provided. All parachuting equipment is state of the art, and is specifically designed for sport use, with both safety and comfort in mind. Two parachutes (a main and a reserve) are always carried. Modern streamline parachute equipment places both main and reserve parachutes on your back using a container and harness which is light and comfortable to wear. Student equipment also has an automatic actuating device fitted to the reserve parachute for additional safety. |
