Training Tandems

Freefall University candidates must complete two training tandems before moving onto the solo jump portion of Freefall U. Training tandems include more instruction than the typical introductory tandem jump. Students should expect to learn freefall maneuvers, demonstrate altitude awareness, deploy their parachute, and fly a parachute landing pattern with assistance from the instructor.

“A” License Jumps

Each jump in the program is designed to progress you through the United States Parachute Association A License proficiency card, which you will need to complete in order to be issued your license. 

Each jump must be completed in a satisfactory manner before you will be able to move onto the next level. Your instructor will work with you to make the most efficient use of your time and money to complete all the requirements.

  • AFF Jumps $249.99 USD each (7 required) AFF stands for Accelerated Freefall, the name of the training method. During AFF jumps, students wear their own parachute and are assisted by an instructor in freefall while learning basic maneuvers and emergency procedures. Students are also assisted via radio while flying a parachute.
  • Coach Jumps $199.99 USD each (6 required) Coach jumps are completed after all AFF levels have been passed and instructors determine the student is ready for more independence. Students are assisted in freefall by a coach, and will learn more advanced maneuvers required for skydiving with others.
  • Hop n Pops $139.99 USD each (2 required) These jumps simulate the procedures a skydiver must know in the event of an aircraft emergency. Students are taught how to exit the plane and deploy a parachute with minimal freefall.
  • Student Solo Jumps $139.99 USD each These jumps are prepped and debriefed by a coach or instructor, but performed without assistance in freefall. Students learn independence and have an opportunity to practice maneuvers while working toward the minimum required 25 jumps to apply for an A License.

All prices include instruction, equipment, debrief, and radio guidance while flying the parachute.

OTHER TRAINING

  • $260 USD Unlicensed Recurrency Training is required when a student takes an extended break between jumps. Students who have not jumped in the past 30 days need refresher training. Save money by attending one of our monthly free first jump courses to satisfy the ground training portion of your recurrency training.
  • Tunnel Training at an indoor skydiving facility is strongly encouraged for all students. These are excellent learning environments to practice freefall skills. Students with tunnel experience are much more successful in the Freefall University program. CSC coordinates a group of jumpers to fly together each week at iFLY Naperville, and students who join in receive discounted rates and free coaching.
