ACCELERATED FREE FALL

Accelerated Free Fall Level 1 Certification

You could be on your way to becoming a fully qualified sky diver!

Blue skies, warm air, 15,000 feet freefall at over 120mph – this could be all yours after becoming a fully qualified skydiver and the Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) Level 1 is your first stepping stone!

With this first level in the AFF course you will train for a skydive from up to 15,000 ft, jumping with two professional AFF instructors by your side. This first stage in AFF will see you exit the aircraft by yourself and after completing some in-air manoeuvres pull your own parachute to float gently to the ground.

Once you have landed back on the drop zone and after a short debrief with your instructors that’s it – you are officially one step closer to becoming a qualified skydiver and being able to complete unlimited solo jumps any time you like!

Overview of AFF, our advanced sky diving programme

AFF stands for Accelerated Freefall and is the quickest way to become a fully qualified parachutist. Under the conventional static line progression system the average student takes 25 jumps spread out over a number of months before achieving solo freefall. With AFF, due to one-to-one tuition and the fact that you freefall from your first jump, most students complete the course in eight jumps (often in as little as a week) and the following information will show you how easy this really is...

What does the accelerated free fall sky diving course involve?

There are eight levels in the full AFF course with each level aiming to teach you a new sky diving skill. Most people require only one jump on each level but occasionally if the instructors think that you have not fully mastered all the required techniques you may have to repeat the level again (at reduced cost).

The following shows what is achieved on level 1:

Level 1 2 Instructors
Before you go anywhere near the aircraft you will receive a thorough six hours ground training teaching you the basics of skydiving together with a thorough explanation of what you will be doing on your first jump. During the jump itself you will be accompanied by two instructors who will communicate with you in mid-air with hand signals and when you come to land you will be guided in by an instructor on the ground through a radio fitted in your helmet.

You do not have to be extremely talented in any way to be a skydiver - over 300 people take the course and qualify every year. When you have decided you want to take the up the opportunity of a lifetime give us a call or just book online for your chance to become a freefall skydiver!
