The Accelerated Freefall (AFF) first jump course comprises a day of ground school (theory), a minimum of 7 skydives (Cat A, B, C1, D1, D2, E1, and E2), and 15 minutes at the indoor wind tunnel at Inflight Dubai.
During your ground school, you will learn about equipment, safety procedures, canopy deployment and control, the all-important landing, and more. Once successfully completed, you’re ready for your first skydive.
Each of the 7 skydives consist of a fixed set of manoeuvres that you must execute successfully before progressing to the next one. After you pass all categories, you are ready to perform your first solo skydive. You can then proceed to achieve the various levels of the license and specialise in various disciplines of the sport.
