AFF - your first steps Into Skydiving
What is AFF ?
AFF (Accelerated Freefall) is one of the fastest and most effective ways to learn how to skydive.
This structured program typically consists of eight levels, designed to take you from complete beginner to licensed skydiver.
Once you successfully complete Level 7, you'll transition into Solo Jump Training, where a Consolidation Jump Program will help you refine your skills and work towards your skydiving license.
Your journey starts with an 8-hour Ground School covering both theoretical and practical components, followed by a written test.
After passing, you’ll take your first skydive—exiting the aircraft alongside qualified instructors who will hold onto your harness and guide you using hand signals during freefall.
Throughout the course, you’ll develop essential skydiving skills, including:
✅ Pre-jump preparation – Checking your gear and understanding safety procedures
✅ Aircraft procedures – Boarding, moving inside, and exiting the plane correctly
✅ Freefall control – Achieving a stable and controlled body position
✅ Altitude awareness – Reading the altimeter and responding appropriately
✅ Deploying the parachute and Canopy flight – Deploying, flying, and landing your parachute safely
Every jump includes a briefing on new techniques to practice and a debriefing to review your performance.
Video analysis of your jumps provides valuable feedback, ensuring you get the most out of each AFF level.

AFF Levels - Your Path to Skydiving Mastery
Each AFF (Accelerated Freefall) level is designed to develop specific skills that you must master before advancing to the next stage.
While it is often possible to pass a level in a single jump, you must successfully demonstrate all required skills to progress.
To ensure a smooth and progressive learning experience, your first three levels will be conducted with two instructors.
AFF Levels Breakdown
Initial Training (Two Instructors)
✅ Level 1 – Adaptation to freefall & parachute deployment procedures
✅ Level 2 – Leg awareness, directional control & maintaining a heading
✅ Level 3 – Stability (hovering) & heading control
From Level 4 onward, you will jump with one instructor until you are fully prepared for solo freefall.
✅ Level 4 – Controlled 90° turns
✅ Level 5 – Controlled 360° turns
✅ Level 6 – Solo exit, backflip and/or barrel roll, and tracking
✅ Level 7 – Unassisted freefall demonstrating:
✅ Level 8 – Solo unassisted jump from ~5,000 ft.
