AFF – Accelerated Free Fall

Our top of the range, first jump course.

Accelerated Freefall (AFF) is a concentrated high level of private instruction utilizing the latest in instructional techniques,
freefall video, parachute systems and highly qualified
Instructors specializing in freefall control.

Nine hours of training is usually required to get someone ready and this can be formatted to suit your own needs, usually two
evenings, two half days or one full day. The theory and drill periods cover all aspects of the jump.

The jump its self is from 12,000ft and two highly experienced freefall Instructors accompany you, actually holding on to you.
One either side. During the freefall they monitor your skills and help out where necessary and only plan to let go of you
once your ripcord has been pulled and your parachute deployed.

Steering your parachute is easy as all you do is follow your instructors back down to the landing area, plus we back that up by
having radio’s on the helmets so that we can even give you guidance while you are under parachute.

The Academy’s policy is to allow the students at least one day between training and jumping, to allow the instruction to
be absorbed…..we don’t want to add to the pressure of the jump by expecting you to train in the same day.
We are available for training and jumping 7 days a week.

Residential courses aimed at getting you to a licensed stage are available throughout the year and we are able to
conduct jumps any where in the state by special request, provided an appropriate location is also available.

NB: Traditionally AFF1 is done around the world from 10,000ft.

Due to competition on the local market we now perform these jumps from 12,000ft.

Altitude is just what a skydiver craves but it comes at a price, as the atmosphere becomes thinner with height and therefore there is less oxygen the higher you go.

At 10,00ft there is 30% less oxygen for every breath you take
compared with at sea level.

The relevance here is with the demand your body will have for oxygen as it performs the skills required on AFF1; lack of oxygen can lead to Hypoxia which in its mildest form will present as
diminished colour vision and possible inability to follow
procedures.

As you do more jumps and learn to relax your oxygen demand will decrease and then going up to the legal highest level of 14,000ft is not a problem and is actively encouraged.

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) requires all pilots
operating above 12,000ft to be breathing pure Oxygen.

Because of this reason the Academy will not conduct AFF stage 1 jumps from 14,000ft above mean sea level (AMSL).
