Advanced Tandem/ AFF- Learn to skydive Solo.
What is Accelerated Free-fall?
Accelerated Free-fall (AFF) for the thrill seeking individual looking to progress/learn to skydive solo and gain a full skydiving licence.
Our learn to jump solo programme begins with 6 hours ground tuition which starts at 8am. Before you can start jumping – we will teach you how! The tuition covers safety aspects, the equipment you will use, exiting the aircraft, control in free-fall and how to control and land your parachute system. There is a multiple choice test that you will be expected to pass. On completion of the ground tuition, you will have the skills and knowledge needed to start our 18 jump course.
Course Progression
- Level 1 – Jumping from 15,000ft with an Advanced Tandem Instructor and an altimeter, this will help you build your altitude awareness as well as practise how to control & fly your parachute. It is the ideal way to prepare for your first solo skydive. Midweek £375- Weekends £425
- Level 2-3 – Your first Solo Skydive with two Instructors holding on and helping control your Free-fall, you will perfect your body position until you’re ready to skydive by yourself.
- Level 4-5 – Now you only need one instructor with you, you will learn how to turn and control your heading (direction).
- Level 6 – You will be exiting without an instructor holding although they will still jump with you. You will learn back loops and tracking (moving forward in the air).
- Level 7 – You will show all the skills you’ve learnt; turns, back loops and tracking.
- Level 8 – This consists of jumping from 7000ft with a short delay before pulling your parachute, to simulate an unplanned exit.
Completion of your course- 10 solo skydives:
- Consolidation jumps: A minimum of 10 solo Skydives. You will be dispatched from the aircraft by an instructor but will be on your own in free-fall. These jumps are for you to practice the skills you have learnt so you are ready to apply for your skydiving licence.
