Become a Skydiver

The AFF program (Accelerated Free Fall) was developed and refined by Kenneth Coleman (USA) to intensively and individually train people who want to enjoy various sky activities. The English term "skydiving" aptly describes these activities in the sky. The AFF program uses modern parachuting equipment and the best methodological preparation. The training process is fast-paced, requiring significant effort from students—both physical and psychological.

The AFF program consists of 7 levels. Each level includes theoretical preparation and a jump during which the student tries to apply the acquired knowledge in practice.

Stage I: Basic Skills

This stage consists of three levels during which the student acquires basic free-fall skills. The first jump is performed with a "tandem" parachute along with the instructor after the student has received the jump task.

During the jump, the student gets accustomed to free fall, controls altitude and body position, and tries to navigate the canopy. This jump was not initially part of the program but was introduced later to enhance the learning process. Subsequent jumps are performed with two instructors, where the student learns to apply and refine practical skills, such as jumping from the aircraft, maintaining stable free fall, altitude control, independently deploying the parachute, navigating the canopy, and executing a safe landing.

Stage II: Maneuvering

This stage consists of four levels during which students improve their skills and learn maneuvers during free fall. At each of these levels, students perform turns, somersaults, controlled movements in a designated direction, and side-sliding. They also refine canopy navigation and landing accuracy.

Progression to the next level occurs when the student completes all the requirements of the current level, regardless of the number of jumps performed.

• independently prepare equipment for the jump
• know safety rules and actions in special cases
• master the basics of free fall
• land safely in the designated area

After completing Level 7 tasks, the student becomes a beginner skydiver.
