Accelerated Freefall method of skydiving includes practical instruction on climb-out and exit of the aircraft, freefall, canopy flight, landing, and emergency procedures. The student exits the aircraft with two AFF Instructors. They freefall together for 30 to 50 seconds, depending on jump altitude, typically 10,000 to 13,000 feet. The instructors maintain a grip on the student's harness to provide in-air instruction as well as assisting with stability if necessary. The student then opens the parachute by around 4,000 feet and pilots it to the landing area. AFF first-jump training and the jump requires more support from the staff than the other methods and is priced accordingly. AFF training and the first jump can often be accomplished the same day. Many schools offer in-air video of the freefall and landing.
