Before your first jump you will receive a 6-hour ground training course. If weather permits, you will then jump wearing your own gear with two USPA certified AFF instructors, one on each side holding onto your harness. After the parachute opens you will fly and land by yourself with instructions over radio. As you progress, you will acquire additional freefall and canopy flying skills. For each category of the IAF program, you will be required to demonstrate competency for certain skills before progressing to the next level.
