DAY 1
You will be collected from the airport by one of our friendly staff and taken to the 4 star SaltyCrax Backpackers where you will stay for the next two weeks. Staff, guests and locals will welcome you with a traditional South African BBQ.
DAY 2 – 14
Each morning you will be transported to the drop zone 15 minutes away.
You will start with a Static line jump. Firstly, students receive tuition on all aspects of the jump. You will then be flown to an altitude of
3,000ft for your first jump. As you fall away from the aircraft, a static line attached to the plane deploys the main canopy. It must then be checked and controlled until the landing.
The AFF program consists of ten levels of progression, each consisting of a ground training session and a minimum of one jump. Each level has to be completed successfully, by meeting pre-determined learning and safety objectives, before moving to the next one.
- Levels 1 - 3
Two AFF instructors will assist you. These dives will focus on altitude awareness, stability, body position and successful ripcord pulls, while introducing basic manoeuvres such as turns and forward movement.
On the first AFF jump, you exit the aircraft at 11,000ft with two AFF instructors who will maintain a grip on you from the moment you leave the aircraft until your parachute begins opening. The instructors will monitor and assist you throughout the freefall as you perform a sequence previously rehearsed on the ground. At 5'000ft, you will open your
own parachute, check it and then control it until the landing.
- Levels 4 - 7
One AFF instructor will assist you in learning solo skills such as turns on heading, back and front loops, more advanced forwards movements and combining manoeuvres. - Levels 8 – 10
These are a minimum of three solo jumps. Two are instructor-assigned task jumps and the third is a low altitude "hop and pop".
