You will receive a briefing lasting about 15 mins
You are securely attached to a Tandem Instructor - who wears the parachute and assumes all responsibility. He is a very experienced
skydiver with at least 800 jumps and has passed a rigorous training course. You will exit the plane with the instructor straight into freefall
The instructor takes care of deploying the main canopy and making a soft landing
The skydive is from at least 10,000 to 14,500 feet
The canopy used is a modern square system, that is huge! and is deployed at 6,000 feet
You get at least 40 seconds freefall time, with a canopy ride of about 5 mins
Allows less-abled people to enjoy the sport
A quick, easy and great way to experience the thrill of skydiving.
This is an advanced method of instruction which has been developed in the USA to enable people to take full advantage of one to one
training while in freefall. As a conventional student, you would start on a square canopy at 3,500 ft with a static line which is
attached to the aircraft and opens the parachute for you automatically on your exit. It will take a minimum of 5 jumps on static line
before you graduate to freefall with a 3-second delay from 4,500 ft.
As an AFF student you make your first skydive on the lastest, purpose built equipment with a state of the art square canopy and it will be
a freefall descent from between 12,000 ft and 14,500 ft with two AFF instructors jumping with you and and maintaining grips on your body
and harness. These two AFF instructors assist with stability and provide in-air teaching information. Prior to each and every skydive the
student receives extensive and thorough training, covering both the freefall learning objectives and the operation of the equipment used
in the programme.
Successful students graduate to having only one AFF instructor accompanying them by Level 4. The instructor in freefall will provide
instructional input and subsequently critique the performance.
At this stage they have mastered most of the freefall skills that would take their conventional counterparts about 20 - 30 jumps to
achieve. The AFF programme caters not only for the person who wishes to graduate and become a skydiver, but also provides an opportunity
for those people who would like to make one freefall descent in a safe and controlled environment - AFF Level 1.
The Training
The size of an AFF class is restricted to a maximum of three people. The tuition is on a very close personal basis and yet is informal and relaxed, often on a one to one basis. In this environment the student can assimilate a great amount of knowledge in a short period of time. The training comprises lectures and physical activites covering all aspects of the skydives that you will be making.
The Equipment
The equipment is a highly specialised system used purely for AFF use and has a good proven track record. AFF jumpsuits, helmets, goggles and altimeters are all provided by us, all the helmets are fitted with radios for canopy control assistance. All the canopies are carefully packed and checked by qualified packers and are maintained to the highest possible standards. As airfields tend to be a little exposed, please bring some warm clothes, the ideal clothes to wear are either a track suit or jeans and a jumper. Flat-soled training shoes are ideal.
The Future
Having graduated at Level 8 you must then complete 10 Consolidation jumps, practising the skills learnt during your AFF course. These jumps will be charged at normal prices – plus kit hire if required.
