About the Advanced Freefall Program
Student Program

By the time students complete the AFP program, they are able to perform a multitude of exits, successfully demonstrate novice maneuvers, good canopy control skills, and recite general equipment knowledge with confidence.

Training Tandem Progression. Beginning with a tandem progression, students complete a minimum of two “working” or “training” tandem skydives all the while securely attached to an experienced tandem instructor. Each training skydive includes a 20 to 30 minute ground instruction teaching students how to turn in freefall, move forward and backwards, keep altitude aware, deploy the parachute, and come in for landing, all the while attached to one of our experienced professionals.

Comprehensive Ground School - FJC. Upon completion of the tandem progression, students will complete a transitional 4 to 6 hour ground training course known as the First Jump Course (FJC). Our FJC is designed to teach the knowledge and skills necessary to complete a solo skydive successfully. The comprehensive first jump course covers everything from aircraft and emergency procedures, to generalized safety precautions, basic freefall skills and canopy control.

Solo Skydives. Next, students start a progressive series of seven solo-skydiving levels with one instructor while wearing their own parachute system. The levels are described below:

  • Level One is a replica of the first tandem skydive focused on body position, heading and altitude awareness.
  • Level Two begins an introduction to turning
  • Level Three allows for the student to practice stability and heading control upon the instructor’s release.
  • Levels Four and Five give an introduction to solo exit and involve a series of 90, 180, and 360 degree turns along with exposure to aircraft spotting.
  • Level Six introduces unstable maneuvers including left and right barrel rolls and also teaches delta tracking. And Finally...
  • Level Seven entails front flips and back loops along with other maneuvers of choice to be worked and improved upon.
Benefits. The AFP program teaches students the necessary knowledge to self-supervise themselves while working towards becoming an A-licensed skydiver. Instructors reduce the student’s anxiety levels while increasing safety and performance, all while maximizing the student’s learning experience.

We Recommend:

  • Wear comfortable clothing. Dress appropriately for the weather. While athletic type clothing is recommended, jeans or loose fitting attire will also be fine.

  • Eat before skydiving. Skydiving produces adrenaline. Please make sure to eat before your skydive to avoid an upset tummy.

If the conditions will not allow for jumping, you will be given the option to reschedule for a better day without penalty.
  • Put time aside. Please plan on spending half of your day with us. Delays are possible.
