Accelerated FreeFall (AFF) Skydiving Training

Internationally Recognised SkyDiving Training Program.

For those who wish to learn to skydive solo, and to jump with other skydivers at Drop Zones the world, the Accelerated Freefall (AFF) Program involves Ground School Training and 10 Levels, the first 3 of which are performed under the direct “in Freefall supervision” of two highly-experienced and certified AFF Instructors.  For your first few parachute landings you will also receive assistance in the form of brightly coloured batons to guide you to a safe landing on the Drop Zone.

It is recommended to complete at least one Tandem SkyDive prior to beginning with the Accelerated Freefall Program; however you can enrol on the AFF Program with no prior skydiving experience.

AFF Ground School involves around six hours of theory where you will learn everything you need to know for your solo skydiving career.

You wear your own parachute, jump suit, helmet, altimeter and goggles and you experience solo freefall from jump number one from an altitude of between 10 000 and 12000 ft (35-45 seconds of Freefall). Two highly-experienced and certified Accelerated Freefall Instructors accompany you in Freefall for the first 3 levels, at which point you progress to one AFF instructor who jumps with you for the remainder of the levels.  Your AFF Instructors provide you with personal one-on-one “in Freefall” instruction throughout the AFF Program. They are also able to activate your parachute, should you fail to do so by the right altitude.

On completion of AFF Level 1 you will be awarded with a certificate of accomplishment signed by your AFF Instructor and the Drop Zone’s Chief Instructor.  Another certificate of accomplishment is awarded on completion of the full 10 levels of the AFF Program.
Video is optional for the AFF Program.

The minimum age for enrolment on the Accelerated Freefall Program is 16, up to age of 21 years of age parental /guardian’s consent is required. There is a weight limit of 100kgs and you will be required to sign a declaration of fitness and an indemnity form.  You may not consume any alcohol prior to any SkyDiving activity.
