License Information
Once you have completed your first solo training jump, be prepared for your life to change! The solo training program is how you become a licensed skydiver. Are you ready?
The good news is the longest day is over! The 6-hour ground school and your first jump were the start of a 25 jump training progression designed to transform new jumpers into solo, licensed skydivers.
The first 8 of the 25 jumps are the Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) program. And, only 30 minutes of training is needed for each jump. Yes, that means you can jump multiple times in a day!
You will have individualized, 1 -on- 1 instruction to guide you through 9 specifically designed training categories.
Accelerated Free Fall Program - Ground Training required first
Category A - First Accelerated Freefall – the name says it all. An amazing sense of accomplishment!
Category B - Preparation for your release dive – a combination of turns and forward motion.
