iranianjumper 2 #1 Posted September 19, 2020 Could you possibly inform me if any AFF training course is allowed to be done from the first level Just with one instructor ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflight6 9 #2 September 19, 2020 Yes, it is allowed in USA. Look for a DZ that has a AFF/wind tunnel program. Other DZs allow several tandems then AFF with one instructor. I used to offer wind tunnel time, five static line (or IAD) jumps then jump #6 was AFF with one instructor. The wind tunnel AFF programs are best, getting 20 to 30 minutes tunnel time before your first jump will lower your stress when the door opens at altitude, you'll have practiced basic skills for stable free fall and your awareness will be expanded. Continue your wind tunnel time and air skills will advance quickly. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dkvkb 2 #5 November 12, 2020 What else does he/she know about the dz? I would definitely research that. This was my third jump at the dz where I started back in 2013 (I started over at a new dz after this). First 2 were tandems. I de-arched, tucked my legs and started spinning. He couldn't hold on to me. I continued spinning, pitched, and then had line twists. I should have cut away, but didn't. In this instance, 2 instructors might have helped. And the comments about the tunnel are great suggestions also. First solo jump copy 2.mp4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pchapman 261 #8 November 13, 2020 Huh, audio only on Firefox, Chrome, or Edge, on my Windows PC. Not sure what I'm missing. But I could inspect the contents of the web page, copy the .mp4's actual location on the dropzone site, load that into a browser on its own (still fails to play video), and 'download page' to download the mp4. Worked fine once the mp4 was on my drive.

pchapman 261 #10 November 13, 2020 Thanks. Yeah I was kind of thinking Adobe Flash Player has been disappearing from most browsers. Even Adobe wants its use stopped after Dec 31. Not sure why dropzone.com is still trying to use it, especially with an mp4 file that seems to contain actual MPEG-4 content, unless I'm missing something.

Westerly 61 #11 November 15, 2020 Flash is dead. Official end of life in in a month. It's a massive security risk. If you have it you should uninstall it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lyosha 46 #12 November 16, 2020 I had AFF with one instructor (it was called IAF), but my DZ has since converted to a more conventional setup. Used to be that it was three tandems before AFF - now one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
