AFF FIRST JUMP COURSE
The AFF skydiving or so called Accelerated Free Fall course covers all aspects of your jump.
AFF Melbourne makes use of modern training equipment and advanced training techniques to put you in control of your skydive on the very first jump.
The two day training course will be your launch pad to your first freefall skydive in Melbourne. You will go to 10,000ft with two instructors beside you to make sure you enjoy your first skydive experience safely.
Day 1:
You will be introduced to your course instructor who is a highly experienced and accredited person within the Australian Parachute Federation. Throughout the day they will cover a broad range of topics designed to make your first jump as safe and memorable as possible. You will learn what will be required of you as well as practical work covering safety and what to do whilst in freefall, under canopy and landing.
At the end of the day, you will be required to sit a multiple-choice exam and then cover the requirements for your first jump sequence.
Day 2:
Once your exam has the tick of approval, we will move into some additional ground training from which point you will be introduced to the Accelerated Freefall skydiving instructors that will be accompanying you on your jump. After a final run through and checks, we go and skydive.
