Learn
to Skydive Course - Accelerated Freefall
The
AFF (Accelerated FreeFall) system is a fast track learn
to skydive program to take the everyday person
from never jumping to being a qualified skydiver in 8 levels
(each level is one skydive). This is the course geared for
complete beginners who wish to learn to skydive in a few
days of instruction. No previous experience is needed and
all aspects of skydiving, including equipment, lessons and
the jumps are covered in our inclusive price. Skydive
in Spain!

The
Ground School
will start your skydiving experience off with a detailed 6
to 8 hour series of lessons which cover everything you need
to know for your first descent from 13,000 ft. Every further
skydive comes with an additional class to help you learn new
skills and prepare you for the jump.

AFF
levels 1-3 will be done with 2 instructors holding
onto each side of your parachute harness, helping you to
learn control in freefall with total safety. By level 3
your instructors will aim to release you in freefall. This
is done in such a way that enables them to fly right next
to you so they can oversee your progress and take hold again
at the end of the skydive. We use a series of in air signals
to tune your body position and help you relax.
|
Whilst
you may experience a 'sensory overload' on your first skydive,
your freefall awareness as you progress through the course
will only increase, building your confidence and increasing
your enjoyment of every skydive. We use radio communication
whilst you are under canopy to give you added reassurance
that your instructor is never far away.
|
AFF
levels 4-7 are completed with one instructor. You
will be learning more advanced skills- like how to carry
out turning maneuvers and tracking (travelling horizontally
across the sky). The aim of level 7 is to demonstrate ability
to look after yourself in freefall. After you have done
this you will be cleared for solo skydives.
|
|
AFF
level 8 is a jump from a lower altitude where you
will deploy your parachute as soon as you exit the aircraft.
|
|
After
your AFF course you will need to complete 10
consolidation jumps. These jumps can be completed
directly after your course or on another visit and are designed
"consolidate" the skills you have learnt. You are
also able to complete these jumps at your home dropzone. Whilst
on consolidation we offer coaching and advice to help you
learn further. We have a set progression plan for these jumps
and this is complimentary for all our AFF students. |
AFF
with Freefall Addicts allows you to become a solo
skydiver in as little as three days. This is partly due
to the personalized one on one instruction you will receive
during your course, the fact that we issue you with your
own personal equipment for the duration of your course and
consolidation jumps and the detailed training and progression
system we run.

Our
8 level AFF Course is run in accordance with the
British Parachute Association guidelines. We have excellent
links with dropzones in the UK and Ireland and we are happy
to contact ex students and instructors to help you arrange
jumping at your local dropzone.

it is like to become a skydiver.
