Ready for something more than a joyride in a tandem?
Discover the AFF First Jump Course (AFF FJC)— your first real step into the world of skydiving!
Curious about skydiving but not sure if you’re ready to commit to the full AFF course?
The AFF FJC is the ideal first step — not just a teaser, but a modern, experience-based training format built for today’s demanding students. It’s well structured, and designed to build real confidence through hands-on awareness, not just theory. We created this program after years of working with people who wanted more than just a “taste” — they wanted to understand, feel prepared, and do it right from the start.
1️⃣ First Step – Ground School
You’ll start with a comprehensive ground school. There, you’ll learn how the parachute system works. You’ll also learn how to maintain body position in freefall. Additionally, you’ll learn how to stay altitude aware and how to build your landing pattern. This is not a 15 mins video briefing for tandem joyride jump. This is full ground school so you will be well prepared for everything.
2️⃣ Technical Tandem AFF Jump
Then — when you’re already aware of what’s going on — you’ll make your first jump as a tandem skydive. However, this won’t be an ordinary tandem. This is a training tandem, where you’ll wear your own skydiving gear (jumpsuit, altimeter) and actively participate in the jump. Together with your instructor, you will:
- Practice altitude awareness using your altimeter
- Perform heading control (turns) in freefall
- Do practice pulls at the correct altitude
- Freefall control attempts (heading, symmetry)
- Respond to hand signals and body position corrections
- Possibly canopy handling, depending on the instructor’s judgment
- Canopy flight observation (understanding the landing pattern)
- Observe and analyze the landing pattern
All of this prepares you for the next step: your first solo jump with two AFF instructors.
3️⃣ AFF Level 1 Skydive
This is it — your first solo freefall with two instructors by your side (literally). You’ll exit from 13,000 feet. You will perform stability checks, be aware of your altitude, and practice pulls. The instructors will fly with you. They will guide you with hand signals and support your body position if needed. At the right altitude, you deploy your own parachute — and from there, all the views and emotions are yours. Enjoy the canopy flight while staying in full control, and follow radio guidance all the way to landing.
It’s the real deal — and thanks to the ground prep and tandem training, you’re ready.
Why try the AFF FJC?
Because you’re curious. Maybe even a little unsure. And that’s exactly what this jump is for. If you’re not ready to commit to the full AFF course just yet, consider the AFF FJC. The thought of piloting your own parachute, instead of just being along for the ride, can be thrilling. The AFF FJC is your chance to taste the real thing. This format is ideal for people who want to:
- Increase their confidence by experiencing a jump after learning the “why” and “how”
- Test the feeling of freefall before continuing the full AFF program
- Build a solid foundation of awareness and technical preparation
But wait… is this really for me?
We get it. Skydiving isn’t just a quick thrill — it’s a serious commitment of time, money, and mental focus. After all, you’ll be jumping out of a perfectly good airplane and flying your own canopy to the ground. That’s not nothing. It’s normal to have questions like:
- What if I freeze on the plane?
- What if I love the freefall but panic under canopy?
- Will I vibe with the skydive scene at all?
That’s exactly why we created this experience — to give you real answers. To feel the wind, test your nerves, meet the people, and see if this world is yours.
