the independent route to your skydiving license

ACCELERATED FREE FALL (AFF)

Accelerated Free Fall is a training program developed by the USPA to allow a person to become a licensed skydiver in a structured but slightly more aggressive method. You are not required to do a tandem jump prior to beginning the AFF program, however we recommend experiencing a tandem first or the ATP Program for most people. 

A 4-6 hour ground school and a high level of demonstrated aptitude are required prior to being approved for your first supervised solo. 2 AFF instructors will accompany you on your first solo skydive. They will provide in-air instruction with learned hand signals during freefall. You will be wearing your own rig and jump unattached to an instructor, deploying and landing the canopy yourself!

This program is designed so you have the option to pay as you go (per jump) OR prepay and save.

  • General Info

    • AFF is a skills-based assessment program: You must exhibit the skill to progress to the next level.
    • AFF is a self-paced program: The more you jump, the faster you will progress. Your instructor will work with you as to what that skill is and how to accomplish it.
  • Tunnel Training

    • Indoor Wind Tunnel Training is not required but is highly recommended. Tunnel Training drastically increases the student’s body flight progression. (Tunnel coaching must be paid directly to Tunnel Instructor).
  • Cost

    • These prices include all rental equipment (parachute, goggles, jumpsuit, altimeter, training materials).
    • Parachute repacking is not included for any jumps. You must pay the packer cash directly. $10/Jump.
    • You can PREPAY for Groundschool and Jump 1 and SAVE $10
    • You can PREPAY for the FULL Program and SAVE 5%
    • Tunnel Training must paid for separately, directly to the instructor. Prepay Total: $3562.50.
    • Be sure to ask about our Military Discount!
    • No Refunds. No Expiration.
  • Timeline

    • Student skydivers must jump every 30 days to remain current.
    • If you have not jumped in the last 30 days, you will be required to do a refresher course for $70.
  • The Jumps

    • There are NO tandem skydives in this program. All training jumps are considered “solo” assisted by one or more non-attached instructor(s).
    • Jumps 9 – 25: May be completed in any order.
    • The USPA A License: Requires a minimum of 25 jumps.
  • USPA Membership

    • All students are required to join the USPA
    • 1 year membership: $78

FAQ

No, you do not. However, for most students a tandem skydive or Tandem Progression jump is strongly recommended. Tandem skydives are a great way to get acclimated to the overwhelming thrill of skydiving.  You can schedule your ground school for our AFF or AFP programs and start skydiving solo any time!
