AFF vs Static Line
2 Different Methods To Become A Skydiver
Accelerated Free Fall
The Accelerated Free Fall Skydiving Course (AFF) is a fast track skydiving lesson programme that can take you from a complete beginner to a fully qualified skydiver. It is split into 10 levels. On your first jump you are accompanied by 2 instructors and get to experience the thrill of free fall from 12,000 before deploying your own parachute to navigate your way back to the ground solo. Jumps 4 - 7 you will be accompanied by 1 instructor, and the remaining levels you will go solo.
Static Line
The Static Line Course (SL) is a progressive skydiving lesson programme that can take you from a complete beginner to a fully qualified skydiver. A SL parachute jump is where the opening mechanism of your parachute is connected to the aircraft itself, and the act of falling away from the door is what releases your parachute from its container. Once you exit the aircraft, a static line, which is packed into your main parachute container, will extend its full length and aid in the opening of your main parachute. Once your parachute is open, you will enjoy your very own, solo descent and landing.
