MiniClaire 0 #1 May 22, 2005 Hi, I'd like to take an AFF course this summer when I will be travelling in Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela. Could anyone recommend a dropzone in these countries? The major limitations are that I don't speak Spanish or Portuguese, only English, and that I once attempted a static line jump but backed out at the last minute. The dropzone I did this at said that I would not be allowed to jump ever again, anywhere, full stop, although since then various people have told me this is not true- although of course individual dropzones might have a problem with this. If anyone has any recommendations of dropzones which could provide AFF teaching in English and would be unlikely to exclude me, please let me know!

stl135 0 #2 May 22, 2005 There are good places in the UK for you to take your AFF course, check the British Parachute Association website to get a list of drop zones and call them, explain your situation, they should be able to assist you. Here is link: http://www.bpa.org.uk/ or better, yet: http://www.bpa.org.uk/dropzone/dzone.htm Good luck... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stl135 0 #3 May 22, 2005 In case your not satisfied with your search in the UK, there are dropzones in Brazil where the staff can communicate in English. Go to the Brazilian Association website: http://www.cbpq.org.br/index.php or to the Azul do Vento website(no desrepect to others) http://www.cbpq.org.br/clubes.php and find the one that can help you. Do your search and keep in mind that your adding a difficulty fact (language) to your AFF course. How about Spain ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
