AFF is designed to provide a more immersive and accelerated learning experience. It allows you to experience the sensation of freefall and control your own body positions earlier on in the training process.
Before making any jumps, participants attend a comprehensive ground school session with us. In this session, they learn about the equipment, safety procedures, body positioning, parachute deployment, emergency procedures, and other essential information. Ground school will be a full day event.
Here's how AFF progress generally works. In AFF, the first jump usually takes place after you have done your ground school as soon as possible. This will take place up to 15,000 ft. You will be accompanied by two highly trained instructors who hold onto you during the freefall (skydive)until you have completed your drills.
During the first jump, you will experience a controlled freefall. Our instructors help you practice stability, altitude awareness, and basic body movements. The primary goal is to demonstrate the ability to maintain a stable body position and altitude awareness.
At a 6,000ft altitude, you will deploy your own parachute. If you fail to do so within a safe altitude range, one of our instructors will assist you in deploying your parachute.
After deploying your parachute, you will then put all your training that you have learnt in the ground school to practical use, so that you will land your parachute in the right place. Don't worry! You will have a radio on that one of our instructors will be able to speak to you if necessary.
Your next jumps gradually introduce more complex manoeuvres and skills as you gain confidence and proficiency. Eventually, you will perform jumps with only one of our instructors, and then without an instructor once you have demonstrated sufficient skill.
AFF is designed to accelerate your learning process, allowing you to develop essential skydiving skills quickly. Most students are able to complete the AFF course and make their first solo jump within a few weeks.
By giving you control from the start, AFF builds your confidence in your own abilities. With the guidance of experienced instructors, you’ll learn to trust yourself and your equipment.
AFF covers everything you need to know to skydive safely, from freefall techniques to emergency procedures. The hands-on, intensive training ensures you’re well-prepared for solo skydiving.
One of the biggest appeals of AFF is that you get to experience the full thrill of freefall from the very first jump. There’s no better way to learn skydiving than by diving right into the experience!
If you’re serious about learning to skydive and want to progress quickly, AFF is likely the best option for you. It’s ideal for thrill-seekers who want to take control of their skydiving experience from the beginning. However, it’s important to be physically fit, mentally prepared, and ready for a challenge.
At Sky-High Skydiving, we offer comprehensive AFF courses led by experienced and certified instructors. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to take your skydiving skills to the next level, our AFF program will provide you with the knowledge, confidence, and thrill you’re seeking.
