GENERAL INFORMATION:
As an AFF (Accelerated Free Fall) student you will be wearing your own parachute rig during Freefall and will be piloting your canopy all the way to landing.
All the information you need for your first skydive is organized in the FJC (First Jump Course) and taught by one of our rated instructors.
This program takes you from your first jump all the way to your 'A' License, using USPA's Integrated Student Program.
Overview
The AFF program is today the most widely used method of training new skydivers.
Students go through a progression of skydives, first with two jump masters, then one jump master and after being cleared for self-supervision, with a coach who introduces different disciplines, maneuvers and exit techniques to you.
During training you will become familiar with different aspects of skydiving, learn all about the equipment used and go through emergency procedure drills over and over with your instructor.
The ISP provides the structure for the training process by assigning different learning objectives and tasks to each jump, divided into the free fall portion and the canopy flight to landing.
Every jump is then debriefed in detail and plans are laid out for the next skydive.
After completing 25 jumps (levels) you earned your 'A' license and are officially off student status.
USPA issues 4 different licenses, 'A' through 'D', with progressively more requirements for each. (Number of jumps, water landings, night jumps etc.)
Associations
A-License Program
After completing the first seven levels of the AFF program, you continue with your training with a coach all the way up until you're done with level 25.
Issued ratings (AFF Instructor, Coach, PRO etc.) can then be obtained by skydivers who meet the rating specific criteria and license requirements and go through courses or qualifications.
USPA governs student training at group member drop zones by implementing the ISP in connection with the BSR's.(Basic Safety Requirements)
The BSR's aim to minimize skydiving risks especially for students, by setting forth wind restrictions, landing area clearance, AAD requirements for student rigs and so on.
Skydiving has evolved dramatically in the past couple of decades and brings with it the development of better and safer equipment, stronger material and quality instruction.
So...when you're ready to fly, make a reservation for your First Jump Course or ask us about more details or questions that might be coming up.
The First Jump Course
The FJC takes about 4-6 hours during which you'll be taught everything necessary for your first successful, fun and safe solo skydive.
