Accelerated Freefall (AFF)
The fast track way to experience freefall
Freefall with the help of professional skydive instructors to help you each step of the way
For those looking to solo jump on their first day, consider the Static Line Jump. The jump itself consists of a simple poised exit from the airplane. As the skydiver falls away from the plane, the deployment of the main canopy is initiated by a “static line” attached to the aircraft. The skydiver will experience only a very short free fall before the opening of the main parachute is initiated. You will be required to go through Ground School for 4-5 hours before your jump so plan to be at our skydiving center all day. Ground School Training will be held rain or shine. Come solo jump via a static line!
How It Works
Freefall with the help of professional skydive instructors to help you each step of the way
The AFF student is required to attend ground school training which is run every Saturday at the Dropzone from 08h00.
Additional training with an AFF instructor is performed post this ground school training.
The AFF programme is a 10 level programme. The student is required to pass each level before progressing. Each level has specific tasks the student needs to perform on that particular jump.
Levels 1-3 are with 2 Instructors holding onto you, exiting from 11 000ft.
Levels 4-7 are with 1 instructor and levels 8-10 are solo skydives.
Before each level, the AFF instructor will brief the student what is expected of him/her on the level. Once the jump has been completed, the AFF instructor(s) will de-brief the student and deliver a pass/fail verdict. The student then either repeats the jump or advances to the next level.
The AFF program should be completed within a 8 week period to benefit from the accelerated learning.

The solo skydiving training is also known as PFF (Progressive Free Fall), AFF (Accerelated Free Fall) or simply SOLO skydiving training. This learning method makes you discover the world of freefall. If you have successfully completed a tandem skydiving jump or a DAI (Instructor Assisted Deployment) jump, you are eligible
for this training program.
Advanced Training
Minimum age of 16 years.
Those under 18 must have parental consent either by
a notarised signature on our Skydive Spain membership
form and fitness form.
OR the parent must come on the day of the jump
and sign the forms in person with their ID to support it.
Become
an instructor
The instructor is properly licenced and this licence includes Third Party Liability insurance which covers him/her and his/her passenger in the case of negligence. Therefore in the case of any injury that would require medical attention the passenger would cover the costs until responsibility is established. If the passenger requires additional coverage they can become a member of Federación Andaluza de Deportes Aéreos (FEADA) for an additional cost.
AFF Questions
You can perform up to 4 jumps in a day. This depends on physical and mental capacity of the student.
You need to jump at least once a month. The AFF programme is designed to accelerate the progression of the student, so it is recommended to be completed in as short a time as possible.
The detailed costs are outlined on the page above or under Pricing. You pay per level you are performing on that day. It is better to have the funds available to progress as quickly as possible through this prorgamme to get maximum benefit.
- You will need to move to the next programme in order to qualify for your first licence.
- The conversion jumps x 2, Intermediate Skills Programme (ISP) 7 jumps.
- To qualify for your A Licence, you need to complete the following at the same dropzone before you can jump elsewhere:
- 25 Jumps
- AFF or SL programme
- Packing Instruction
- ISP Programme
- A licence test
- Then you are considered an independent skydiver and apply for your PASA licence. This enables you to skydive anywhere in the world.
