I'm located in the Czech Republic right now. I'm starting some tunnel flying with the intent of preparing myself mentally for the AFF (had a bad tandem experience in the past). I'm thinking of doing the AFF at Skydive Empuriabrava in Spain after some tunnel flying(aka exposure therapy). My reasoning is that I continually see them being referred to as a world class drop zone. A world class drop zone where they jump practically every day of the year puts me more at ease since I'm assuming their experience and safety levels will be much higher than at a local site where they only jump during spring and summer in the weekends. Is my justification for traveling to another country (costs and time requirements aside) to do the AFF at world class dz like Empuriabrava reasonable? Or are there important considerations I'm overlooking (I'm new to your world!) and should a potential student try to complete the AFF at whatever drop zone they intend to do most of their jumping even if that dz is not world class?
