Accelerated Freefall
The Accelerated Freefall (AFF) program is designed with the serious skydiving student in mind. It costs a bit more than the static line option, but is well worth it if you know that skydiving is the sport for you.
Students who choose to go the AFF route will also need to complete ground-school training. The student can either attend the static-line ground-school and do one static-line jump and then do a short conversion course to switch to AFF, or they will need to complete full ground-school training with an AFF instructor.
After a ground school, the students will be ready to freefall with 2 instructors flying with them. The course has 10 levels, with one jump each for levels 1-7, and a further three jumps for level 8. On levels 1-3 the students will be accompanied by two AFF instructors. On levels 4-7 the students will only be accompanied by one AFF instructor and on the level 10 jumps the students will be jumping solo. Each jump builds upon skills learned in previous dives, so the students must pass each jump to move to the next level.
Many people pass the course in the minimum required jumps (10), but some require more.
During the course the students learn how to perform equipment checks, how to handle aircraft and freefall emergencies, the basics of body flight and how to control their canopies to a safe landing. Upon graduation, students will be fully qualified to skydive with the assistance of a jumpmaster.
To do AFF you must be at least 18 years old (16 with parental consent) and weigh no more than 90 kgs
