The World's Most Advanced Freefall

At Adelaide Skydiving Centre, we teach the world's most advanced freefall parachuting course (AFF - Accelerated Free Fall) which requires a measured progression through nine stages.

Our parachutes are state of the art and include steerable main and reserve parachutes with an automatic activation device. Adelaide Skydiving Centre also provides students with radios to ensure constant communication.

With each stage of your parachuting course, you will progressively learn turns, forward and backwards movement, back loops and tracking, and also learn solo landings.

Once you've enrolled, be sure to view the training videos on our links page to best prepare for your jumps!

Accelerated Free Fall Course Breakdown

**All jumps conducted at the discretion of the Drop Zone Safety Officer. Adverse weather may restrict jumping

  • Advanced Free Fall Stage 1

    Starts with about 8 hours of theory, ground training, and a written exam. You then do a solo freefall skydive from 10,000ft with two instructors from 10,000ft concentrating on height awareness and canopy control.

  • Advanced Free Fall Stage 2 to 3

    The next two jumps in your course are solo freefall skydives from 10,000ft with two instructors holding on, learning turns, forward movement and maintaining a heading. 

    Each freefall is approximately 35 seconds duration with a five minute parachute ride. Once your parachute opens, you will be required to steer and land your parachute on your own, but with guidance from an instructor on the ground.


  • Advanced Free Fall Stage 4 to 8

    These next five jumps are also solo freefall skydives, but with one instructor. Each jump is approximately 40 seconds freefall duration with a 4-5 minute parachute ride. 

    At some stage during these jumps, we will normally require you to demonstrate the ability to steer and land your parachute unassisted.

  • Advanced Free Fall Stage 9

    The final jump is from 4,500ft. It is a solo jump and places emphasis on sub terminal control and deployment.

You can start your Solo course on a Monday and have it finished by the end of the week, including packing lessons and topped off with your "A" licence exam. If you can't afford the Monday to Friday off, just do it over a couple of weekends.

Go from novice to a solo skydiver in 9 jumps!
