Your experience will start with 'one-on-one' instruction from your instructor who will take you through a detailed step by step description of your skydive as you prepare to 'gear up' for the jump.
Your ride to altitude, will take around 20 minutes. You will be harnessed to your tandem instructor and experience approximately 60 seconds of freefall followed by a 5-7 minute canopy ride .

AFF Total of nine jumps $1975.00
Ground training is a bit more extensive (about 6 hours) than tandem because the student will perform a freefall on the very first jump. Aided by two AFF instructors, the student will exit the aircraft from approximately 11,000'. The instructors each maintain a grip on the student from the moment they leave the aircraft until opening. This helps the student keep the fall stable, perform practice ripcord pulls and monitor altitude. The student will pull his/her ripcord at approximately 4,500 ft and then a person on the ground will assist you with steering your parachute via radio, so that you may fly in for controllable landing. Each level will teach you more and more about freefall flying.
The AFF program is a nine level program. Levels 1, 2 and 3 require two freefall instructors to accompany the student. This allows for concentration on basic safety skills such as altitude awareness, body position, stability during freefall and most importantly -- successful ripcord pull. On level 3, the instructors will release the student in freefall for the first time to fly on their own.
Levels 4 through 9 require only one freefall instructor and teach the student air skills (turns, forward movement, docking on other people, etc.) Each level is designed to take only one jump and requires about 45 minutes of training, but sometimes levels will need to be repeated. After successfully performing the objectives of each level, the student advances to the next one. After level 9, the student enters a free format stage where they practice and hone their skills by themselves or with a coach until they obtain 25 freefalls and qualify for their A license.
