Unlike previous skydiving training methods, your first Accelerated Freefall (AFF) jump will be from at least 11,000 feet. The appeal that AFF has over previous methods is attributable to how 'FAST' you learn, hence the name "Accelerated".

• First jump includes 8 to 10 hours of combined classroom and ground training, usually one evening plus the following day.
• Make your first jump the afternoon you finish training (weather permitting).
• You exit the aircraft at 11,000 to 13,500 feet for a 50 second freefall with two Instructors/Jumpmasters. They will hold your parachute harness- - one on each side-- and will continuously assist and instruct you until you open your parachute at the preplanned altitude.
• You will steer your parachute to a designated landing area, under the radio direction of your ground instructor. When correctly executed, the landing sequence will allow for your gentle return to earth.
• The AFF program is divided into A-G categories, each with a clearly defined set of learning objectives. You will be learning such skills as canopy control, altitude awareness, how to maneuver yourself in the sky, and jumping safely with others. Category A through C1 jumps will be conducted with two USPA instructors. Category C2 through F jumps will be conducted with one USPA instructor and upon completion you will have shown competency to do a solo skydive. You will then become part of Jumptown's structured USPA coaching program (Integrated Student Program or ISP) which is designed to assist you in acquiring the skills you need to become an A licensed skydiver. A minimum of 25 jumps are required in order to receive an A license from the United States Parachute Association.
• Weight limit is 250 lbs.
• You must be at least 18 years of age
