Once you have completed your first Tandem Freefall Skydive, you can begin the Accelerated Freefall (AFF) Training Program. AFF is a seven level program designed to teach you to skydive solo. It begins with a half-day of ground training before you start skydiving. AFF skydives one and two can happen the same day. You will skydive wearing a student parachute system and jump with two instructors from 13,000 feet.
Your instructors will be at your side throughout freefall, coaching you during the skydive, until you deploy your parachute. After opening, you will fly the parachute to landing with back-up assistance via radio from the ground.
You will jump with two instructors for the first three levels of the AFF program. At level four, one instructor will accompany you on each jump until you graduate at AFF level seven. When you have successfully passed all of your training jumps, you will be cleared to jump as a solo student in the A-license coaching program.
Solo classes are scheduled throughout the Spring, Summer and Fall. Please call or e-mail for available dates as advance registration is required. Private classes can be arranged for an additional fee.

Enrollment in the AFF program should be within six months of making a T1 tandem skydive for the most effective learning experience. Each Level includes one skydive with targeted learning objectives that must be satisfactorily demonstrated before moving onto the next level. Each pair of skydives is designed to be completed the same day, or as close as possible, within a maximum of 30 days. Specific currency and performance standards apply to all levels. Contact Skydive Oregon for more detailed information. Repeat & Extra jumps priced separately.
