Aspiring skydivers from all over the world come to our skydiving school to enroll in our Accelerated Freefall courses. As a Group Member of The United States Parachute Association we subscribe and adhere to its training policies and guidelines.

The Accelerated Freefall Program equips novice skydivers with freefall and canopy control skills through a eight level program, designed to safely teach you to skydive. Safety is greatly enhanced by direct-in-air jumpmaster supervision. To ensure safety for you and other skydivers, you must demonstrate proficiency on one level before progressing to the next.

Three Training Skydives with two Instructors
|
Your first AFF jump requires six to eight hours of ground school. Two jumpmasters are assigned to each individual student and, weather permitting, you will be able to "suit up" and make your skydive! This provides for 40 seconds of freefall directly supervised by two USPA certified jumpmasters and allows you to land your parachute with radio instruction. During your second and third training jumps you continue to learn the basic movements of body flight and ground reference awareness as you fall with your jumpmasters next to you.

Four Training Skydives with one Instructor
|
You learn basic control during freefall such as minor turns and forward flight, the skills required for more precise turns, forward movement, spotting (directing the aircraft to a safe exit point), and more advanced maneuvers, including loops and recovery from planned unstable body positions. When you're ready you will give your instructor a "solo" demonstration of the skills you have learned.

A Final Graduation Skydive
|
Once you and your instructor are mutually confident that you're ready, you make your graduation skydive, your first solo jump! Graduating AFF customarily results in many congratulations from everyone at the DZ as well as some long-standing customary obligations to buy everyone the "first round" at the end of the day! It's all part of becoming part of the select group of people who have made this adventure part of their life.

Every student skydiver is required to join the USPA on either a temporary or annual basis.

The cost of USPA Membership, in addition to the cost of your student jumps, is $20 for a temporary (30 days) membership and $51 for annual membership which includes a monthly subscription to the USPA publication "The Parachutist". We suggest the annual membership since The Parachutist is one of the best publications in the industry and you'll look forward to receiving your copy each month.
