Accelerated Free Fall Skydive

Alright, alright, everyone pretty much knows by now about tandem skydiving but what do you do after you’ve experienced the rush of tandem skydiving? You still want more but you don’t want to do the exact same thing… Then you need to check out our Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) program, to get your skydiving license!

AFF is an acronym for Accelerated Freefall skydiving school. This method of skydiving instruction 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 drop zones in the world.  During this method of skydiving, you will NOT be attached to an instructor.

Prior to your skydive, you will attend a ground school class lasting approximately six hours.  This class will focus on the basic skills you will need to successfully complete an AFF Sky dive.  Once you have completed ground school training,  you will be ready to skydive.  On your first AFF jump,  two certified instructors will accompany you during freefall to assist you through your practiced routine.  After your parachute is deployed, you will apply what you learned in class to pilot your canopy to the landing area.  Need more information?  Check out our Skydiving School and AFF Pricing pages.

About Whitney Payne

Co-Operations Manager at Skydive Orange - Working with Skydive Orange for 10+ years - Previously positions held: Office manager, manifest, guest services, social media manager, she does it all! “If you told be 10 years ago I’d be co-managing a skydiving facility and loving every minute of it, I would have laughed in your face. I am not an adrenaline junkie, not spontaneous and definitely not a thrill-seeker but I love these people. Skydivers are truly a different breed of people and I am forever thankful for them accepting me into their community. Watching people visit Skydive Orange to face fears, celebrate milestones or just jump out of a perfectly good airplane has been truly life changing for me and helped be become the person I am today.” – Whitney Payne
