Wind Tunnel Accelerated Freefall Course

If you want to make your first skydive or if you have decided that you would like to get certified to enable you to skydive on your own, Skydive University in DeLand, Florida, offers a Wind Tunnel Accelerated Freefall (TAFF) Course.

This is a unique program utilizing the SkyVenture wind tunnel in Orlando, Florida. You will develop your freefall skills flying ten 2-minute sessions in the tunnel before ever entering or exiting an aircraft. This ensures that you will already be stable in freefall and able to pull your ripcord before making your first skydive. This thorough preparation eliminates much of the normal stress associated with a first skydive and enables you to have more fun!

The Tunnel AFF course consists of 20 minutes of wind tunnel training followed by 8 skydives. At the end of this you will have developed greater skydiving skills and confidence than any other AFF program.

Your AFF training will be split into two.


Part One:

The program begins with ground training to teach you the basic skydiving body positions for freefall. You will then head to the wind tunnel to fly a total of 20 mins. practicing these maneuvers. Training in the wind tunnel allows you to feel what it is like in freefall without the pressure of jumping out of an airplane!

Part Two:

The next day you will continue with the remainder of your First Jump Course. This training will teach you about your skydiving equipment, how to control your canopy, altitude awareness, exits out of the plane and unusual situations.

You are then ready to make your first skydive! dive ...

On your first skydive you will exit from 13,500 feet giving you 50 seconds of freefall time with two instructors. Since your freefall skills will already be well developed, emphasis will be placed on your exit, altitude awareness, pulling the ripcord and controlling your parachute.

Then you'll make 3 more jumps from 13,500 feet with one AFF instructor, to further develop your freefall and canopy skills. Your 5th jump is from 5,500 and is your first solo dive.

After this you will make 3 more jumps with a personal trainer to start developing the techniques you will need to build formations with other people in freefall. You will also continue to practice controlling and landing your canopy.

CONGRATULATIONS!! At the end of level 8, you have graduated your AFF course and can now skydive without the supervision of an instructor.

We utilize SkyVenture wind tunnel as a much needed training tool.
