Accelerated Freefall Courses (AFF) commence on 1st and 3rd Friday each month or upon request.

In addition, you will be examined on the rules of parachuting and must be able to pack a main canopy unassisted. Courses start on Tuesdays and Saturdays only and generally take about 10 days to complete, depending on the weather.
PLEASE NOTE: if you do not pass a stage, you are required to repeat it at your own expense.
