Training Methods

Accelerated Free Fall (AFF)
The AFF program was instituted in 1982 as an "accelerated" learning process as compared to the traditional static line progression. The AFF program will give you a true taste of modern sport skydiving.

Tandem Jump
Tandem jumps are a very popular means to offer an introduction to the sport. They allow the curious potential student to experience, first-hand, the thrills of skydiving without the stress of AFF or SL progression.

Static Line Training (S/L)
This method has evolved over the last ~30 years from its military origins into a successful method for training sport parachutists. The student gets 4-5 hours of ground training and is then taken to an altitude of about 3000 feet for the jump.
