Accelerated Freefall (AFF) Skydive Training Course
How The AFF Course Works
You begin with the first jump course which includes 6-8 hours of thorough ground training and a written test. You’ll make your first jump that same day (weather permitting) with two instructors holding onto you as you exit the airplane. You will deploy your own parachute and fly it by yourself under radio guidance. After landing, your instructors will debrief you about your jump to set you on your path for the rest of the AFF skydiving certification program.
