The Course !
LEVEL 1 - After a days training, you are ready to leave the aircraft at up to 13,000', with your 2 AFF instructors hanging on to you. On the way down, you practice pulling the ripcord, and maintaining heading and altitude awareness, whilst travelling at 120mph. At 5,000' you deploy the parachute and fly it back to the landing area..
LEVEL 2- After a little more instruction, you again exit the aircraft with 2 instructors. This time, you learn to control movement, whilst maintaining heading and altitude awareness. At 5,000' you signal to the instructors and open your parachute.
LEVEL 3- On level 3, you maintain a heading and demonstrate control in free-fall. If you are doing ok, the instructors will release you. Don't forget, you still need to maintain heading and altitude awareness.
LEVEL 4- Now that you have mastered the basics, you learn to start, control and stop turns while in free-fall. Just one instructor accompanies you from level 4 onwards.
LEVEL 5 - Controlled 360 degree; turns in front of your instructor, still maintaining altitude awareness.
LEVEL 6- More advanced techniques now. Spatial orientation, and moving forward horizontally (tracking) through the air. By now, you are ready to put all you have learned into practice on...
LEVEL 7- After exiting the aircraft, you are required to complete a set sequence of 2x360 degree turns, a backloop, and a short track before deploying your parachute at 4000'
LEVEL 8- The final test - leave the aircraft on your own for the 1st time, and deploy your parachute within 10 seconds. Congratulations, you've just graduated.

The AFF jump is for you if you're looking to experience the thrill of skydiving with instructors at your side--not attached to you from £375.00. This jump experience is often more rewarding because, after 6 hours of ground instruction, you're in control of the skydive. The instruction is much more detailed than a Tandem Skydive because you're in charge. You have two instructors who exit the airplane with you, fly by your side to coach you (using hand signals you learned during your training), and assist you if necessary during your nearly one minute of freefall. The instructors will leave your side after you deploy your own parachute. After 4 to 5 minutes of breath-taking views, you get to land your parachute. With radio assistance, you will be directed to the proper landing area for a nice controlled landing. We can train you in the UK or abroad (Spain) costs may increase should you opt to travel, however the sunshine factor is greater and weather less of a consideration.
