Solo Accelerated Freefall Skydive

What to Expect

How long should I plan to be at AerOhio?

Plan on spending most of the day with us.  The In-Person training starts at 8 am with your jump being approximately 3 hours later, all depending on the number of people in the class.

What training will I receive prior to skydiving?

The Online First Jump Course and In-Person ground training will cover how to exit the aircraft and freefall with your USPA instructors, and how to fly, navigate and land a parachute on your own. We cover a large amount of information, but there’s no rush to get to the jump, you won’t be jumping until you and your instructors feel like you’re ready.

What is an AFF Training Tandem?
A Training Tandem allows a student to use all the training from the solo AFF first jump course on a tandem skydive.   If you want confirmation that you are ready for a solo freefall and to fly and land your own parachute, a Training Tandem will give you the opportunity to experience all of those while attached to one of our USPA Instructors.  The Training Tandem is a valuable training tool and can be scheduled after you complete the Online First Jump Course.  The Training Tandem must be completed prior to a  Solo AFF first jump if you weigh over 225 lbs.      

How long is the jump itself?

Our Super Otter aircraft will take you to a jump altitude of between 10,000 and 13,000 feet above the ground. You and your instructors will exit the plane and freefall for almost a full minute, falling for over a mile through the sky. Your instructors will release you as the parachute is opening, and then you’ll spend about five minutes flying your own parachute down to the ground.

What should I bring?

Bring your ID and wear comfortable clothes with athletic shoes. There will be a lunch break, so you can bring a lunch or drive a few minutes into Ashland to buy lunch. Don’t forget drinks and snacks too, it will be a busy day and it’s important to stay energized and hydrated!
