What's Included?
Skydive DeLand’s Accelerated Freefall (AFF) program begins with comprehensive ground training covering the equipment, procedures, and skills you’ll use on your first jump.
Your AFF jump includes student equipment and instruction throughout the process, from preparation on the ground through freefall and landing. During early AFF categories, instructors jump with you as you learn and demonstrate the skills required to progress through the program. Each level builds on the last as you work toward being cleared to jump solo and continue your progression toward a USPA A-license.
