Accelerated Free Fall
This course is aimed at the individual who has decided to get the fast track training required to become a Skydiver. After a full day of intense training you will be taken to heights of up to 13500 feet, where two very experienced instructors will exit the aircraft with you, giving you instructions while in free fall via hand signals.You will open the chute at around 5000 feet and fly it to the ground. You will have radio communication to help you whilst under the canopy.
The course is structured over 8 levels. You need to pass each level before you can progress to the next one. This course is by far the most intense way of learning to freefall with a very steep learning curve.
This information is for use as a guide only. Your instructor may change slightly what you do on each level and it is progressive. So you will normally do what you did on the previous jump and the new skill being learnt. Except for level 8.
Level One - From £350.00 After 6-8 hours ground training you will fly up to 12.000 feet with two instructors. You will then jump out of the plane with them holding onto you. They will give you instructions using hand signals wile in freefall at 5.000 feet you will deploy your main canopy and fly it to the ground in the manor taught to you.
Level Two - Price on application Is similar to level one only this time the instructors may introduce turns to the jump.
Level Three - Price on application As above but this will be the 1st level that the instructors will release you during free fall.
Level Four - Price on application You will now only need one instructor! He or she will supervise the controlled 360-degree turns.
Level Five - Price on application Exit the aircraft without the instructor holding on to you! And continue as above.
Level Six - Price on application As above with Back summersaults!
Level Seven - Price on application A combination of all the moves learnt called a half series.
Level Eight - Price on application A hop and pop. This is where you jump from the plane from a lower level and open your chute straight away, simulates an aircraft emergency.
Consolidation Jumps After 10 consolidation jumps normally (@ £35.00 each) where you jump on your own to practice what you have learnt you will be a qualified Category 8 skydiver.
If you fail a level it can be re-taken at a reduced rate.
