2 Tandems + 7 AFF jumps gets you to “self supervision” which qualifies you to make solo Jumps. A total of 25 jumps and completion of our training program earns you an “A” license.

On an AFF jump you will be wearing a parachute yourself, not attached to anyone you will land this parachute solo. There is an instructor with you in Free Fall to train you and lend assistance with stability if needed.

With an “A” license and a current log book you can go to any DropZone in the U.S. and most of the world to make a skydive(s) with little to no headache.

After your tandems and ground school, and with proper scheduling, you could complete your AFF jumps and reach self supervision in a single weekend. Completion of your “A” license will take a minimum of another 2-3 weeks largely depending on your availability.

There is no time requirement to complete, only a currency requirement between jumps. Once you start your training you are required to make at least one jump every 30 days. The learning curve is shorter if you can jump more but it is not required. Going beyond your 30days will require refresher ground training and repeating your last jump.

Not easily but if this is something you feel strongly about, keep reading. In order to do this we are required to use 2 instructors on your first few AFF jumps. We may be willing to do this depending on your performance in the ground training and instructor availability. Although our staff is highly experienced with a dual instructor AFF program, this is NOT our normal process. There will be an extra charge per jump which may vary depending on instructor availability.

It is normally best to stick with one program, however any properly ran training facility can integrate an existing student into their program based on student experience. We will do our best to pick you up right where you left off with as little retraining as possible. Often the limiting factor is proper documentation from your previous school. Make sure you bring your log book and “A” license proficiency card if you have them.
