Accelerated Freefall
LEVEL 1:
Your skydive training begins with a 4 to 8 hour ground school that usually runs about 6 hours. This course will provide you with a basic orientation, aircraft procedures, freefall body position, canopy control, landing, practice parachute deployment, and more. Two Accelerated Freefall (AFF) Certified Jump Masters will be assigned to you. They will assist you with certain freefall training maneuvers and with deploying your man canopy (parachute). Adventure Skydiving Tennessee AFF jumpmasters will remain with you for the entire freefall portion of your skydive. You will then steer the canopy back to the main landing area with the assistance from an Adventure Skydiving Tennessee staff member via use of our ground to air communication system.
On every AFF skydive, safety is greatly enhanced by direct in-air jump master supervision. You will freefall for approximately 70 seconds, then deploy your own parachute, maneuver back to the landing area and land under radio supervision.
LEVEL 2:
You exit the plane with 2 jump masters, and continue to learn the basic skills for body flight including free fall turns and moving forward across the sky.
LEVEL 3:
You exit the aircraft with 2 jump masters and continue to enhance your basic skills. As you progress, and your flying skills improve, your jump masters will release but at all times be close at your side, you'll now experience the feel of acceleration on your first solo freefall. You are flying by yourself!
LEVEL 4:
As your skills continue to improve you will learn "Heading Control" using 90 degree turns and forward movement, this time with one jump master.
Tennessee Skydiving Training
LEVEL 5:
This level continues instruction with more controlled 360 degree freefall turns and forward movement with your assigned jump master.
LEVEL 6:
Your first solo exit with your assigned jump master close by your side. You learn more advanced maneuvers as you dive out and learn delta tracking (gliding across the sky), freefall flips and recovery from pre planned unstable body positions.
LEVEL 7:
One jump master remains with you in freefall while you make a solo DIVING exit and demonstrate your newly acquired skydiving skills. After successful completion of this level you are now cleared to self jumpmaster or jump without any in air supervision. You now skydive at Adventure Skydiving Tennessee for only $18 per jump.
NOW THE FUN REALLY STARTS!
