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.
