Accelerated Free Fall Course AFF Level 1

Skydive solo in just one day with an AFF Level 1 skydiving course

The Accelerated Freefall Course is the fastest and most advanced method of learning to skydive. After just one day of ground-training you're ready to jump from up to 15,000ft, accompanied by, but not attached to, two expert instructors. One minute of exhilarating freefall later you open your own parachute and fly and land it yourself.

Normally, the UK Accelerated Freefall course consists of 8 Levels, however we can offer you a Level 1 only course as a unique introduction to the world of skydiving, and if you like it then you can simply carry on and become a qualified skydiver!!

COURSE OUTLINE
Your first jump will be a freefall descent from up to 15,000 ft with two AFF instructors jumping with you and and maintaining grips on your body and parachute harness. These two AFF instructors assist with stability and provide in-air teaching information. Prior to each and every jump, the student receives extensive and thorough training, covering both the freefall learning objectives and the operation of the equipment used in the program.

At Hibaldstow, we also offer the highest skydive in the country at 15,000ft giving you more time in freefall.

THE TRAINING:
The size of an AFF class is restricted to a maximum of four 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 activities 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 jump suits, helmets, goggles and altimeters are all provided by us, all the helmets are fitted with radios for canopy control assistance. All the parachutes are carefully packed and checked by British Parachute Association qualified packers and are maintained to the highest possible standards.

AFTER LEVEL 1:
Successful students continue through the course having only one AFF instructor accompanying them by Level 4. The instructor in freefall will provide instructional input and subsequently critique the performance. Students normally graduate from the AFF program on or around their eighth jump.

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 program 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 solo freefall descent in a safe and controlled environment - AFF Level 1.
