What is an AFF Skydive?

AFF Skydive At Skydive Orange in Virginia near Washington, D.C. and Maryland AFF is an acronym for Accelerated Freefall.  During this method of skydiving, you will NOT be attached to an instructor. 

After a ground school where you learn the basics (usually about 6 hours),  two AFF instructors will accompany you through freefall to assist you through your practiced routine.  Once you deploy your parachute, you will apply what you learned in class to guide yourself in under your own canopy.   

This method of skydiving is the fastest way for you to earn a United States Parachute Association (USPA) “A” license which allows you to skydive on your own at most dropzones in the world.  Are you ready to be a skydiver?  Read more about our student program.
