Accelerated Freefall Course

Accelerated Freefall Booking Form

The Freefall course is the most advanced method of learning to skydive. In total, it comprises a minimum of nine ‘stages’ or jumps

Each jump builds on the skills learnt in the previous stage. Students progress through the nine stages at their own pace under the guidance of qualified instructors. A number of solo jumps are then required beyond Stage 9 in order to gain an international ‘A Licence’ from the Australian Parachute Federation (APF).

Training for Stage I takes about 6-8 hours. Ideally, your first jump will take place on the following day. Remaining jumps should be done in reasonable succession. Long delays between jumps can slow progress through the stages. Stages I to 8 are all from 10,000 — I4,000ft and can be recorded on video, which is invaluable as a training aid. Stage 9 is a completely ‘solo’ jump from 4000ft.

Students should be fit, weigh less than 95 kilograms and be at least 16 years of age (under 18 requires a parents or guardian’s authorisation). Advance bookings are essential

Stage I

After approximately 6-8 hours training, passing a practical and written exam you are ready to make your first jump which is generally planned for the following day. You exit the aircraft from between 10,000— 14,000ft with two instructors holding onto you and guiding you through your freefall drills and safety procedures. At 4000 ft you open your parachute and complete your canopy checks. You fly and land your parachute under the guidance of a ground-based qualified instructor using radio communication and visual signals. $465

Stage I includes everything you need to go skydiving: 6-8 hours training; 3 months membership with the APF; the plane ride to altitude; state-of-the-art parachuting equipment; all necessary skydiving clothing; 2 professional skydiving instructors; a qualified pilot; an experienced photographer (optional); a first jump certificate and personal logbook detailing your skydive.
