Accelerated Freefall (AFF) first jump course
This program comprises a day of ground school (theory), a minimum of seven skydives (Cat A, B, C1, D1, D2, E1, and E2), and 15 minutes at the indoor tunnel at Inflight Dubai.
Skydive Dubai’s Desert Dropzone offers theory classes in English every Tuesday, and in Arabic upon request. If you opt for the classes in English, we request that your speaking and comprehension levels be at least at an intermediate level. In order to reserve a spot, you need to pay a deposit of AED 2,005 (which covers the ground school fee and 15 minutes in the wind tunnel at Inflight Dubai).
During your ground school, you will learn about equipment, safety procedures, canopy deployment and control, and the all-important landing, to name a few topics. Once successfully completed, students are ready for their first skydive.
The first ten minutes of tunnel time will be done on the day of the ground school, and the remaining time will be completed during the course, as required (depending on the progression of the student).
Learning how to skydive is about progression. Each of the seven skydives consists of a fixed set of maneuvers that you must perform before you can move on to the next one. For the first three skydives, you will be accompanied by two instructors. For the remaining skydives, you will have just one instructor by your side.
After you pass all categories you are an AFF graduate and are ready to perform your first solo skydive. You can then proceed to achieve the various levels of the license and specialize in various disciplines of the sport.
