Getting a License PDF Print E-mail

So you are ready…and hopefully read the “First Time Jumpers” pages…..maybe you made a Tandem jump and now you are hook and you want to become one of us and as I said before…We welcome you with open arms….

In order to get your license you will have to complete the AFF (Accelerated Freefall) Progressive program that basically will teach you:

  • Freefall Techniques: Body position, leg awareness, turns, aerobatics (flips and loops), tracking, docking and freefall awareness
  • Canopy: Packing, fly patterns, turns, landing patterns and canopy control
  • Emergencies: How to deal with malfunctions, cut-away procedures and aircraft safety and rules
  • Other: Spotting, FAA rules and FARs

All in all it will take twenty five (25) jumps to get your “A” License and then you will be ready to jump with others…

I really like to jump with new people, if you see me around ask me and we will plan some dives…then we will get into big groups….
