Skydive Courses
Accelerated Freefall Course- AFF
The most common route to becoming a licensed skydiver in South Africa
Your first skydives will be with two instructors holding onto you in freefall, helping you remain in control and giving you signals reminding you what to do. .
AFF is a guided, step-by-step course that teaches you all the skills you need to be able to jump totally solo.
This normally takes 7-10 jumps depending on the course style & your progression.
Course starts with a full day’s training on the ground.
- Introduction and documentation
- Equipment
- Aircraft drills
- The Exit, arch and count (including body position)
- Canopy control
- Malfunction theory
- Reserve drills
- Landing (for main and reserve parachutes)
- Hazardous landings
- Post-landing procedures
- Revision/test and consolidation
Level 1, you will jump with 2 instructors. You will follow a planned sequence to demonstrate good body position and altitude awareness, along with 'practice pulls' to locate your deployment handle. You'll pull your own parachute and fly back to the landing area, with guidance from your instructors.
Level 2 and 3, you still have 2 instructors, but we expect to see an improvement in body position and awareness. On level 3 you should be able to demonstrate control so that both instructors can release you to fly on your own.
Level 4, you will have just 1 instructor jumping with you. On this jump the objective is to start and stop controlled turns in both directions.
Level 5 reinforces the turns, with any improvements from the previous jump.
Level 6. This is your first solo exit from the aircraft; on all previous levels your instructor is holding onto you for the exit. Next you will do a back loop to show your instructor that you can regain stability after a tumble. Then we introduce tracking which is horizontal movement across the sky.
Level 7. Perform a full sequence of solo exit, back loop, tracking and turns. You need to demonstrate altitude awareness and control throughout. the jump.
What happens after AFF Level 7?
Level 8 is what we call a 'hop and pop' - leaving the aircraft at an altitude of around 5000ft. You'll do a stable exit and pull your parachute after a short delay therefore simulating having to exit in an emergency.
