What to Expect Going In

AFF is a bigger commitment than a single tandem jump — you'll complete ground school before your first solo-supervised jump, then progress through a series of categories with an instructor by your side. Physical and time commitment increase as you advance.

A

First solo-supervised freefall with two instructors

B

Building freefall control, one instructor
