Accellerated Free Fall (AFF) is a skydiving training program that allows the student to progress at a very rapid pace. With AFF, students wear their own parachute and are not attached to the instructor. Two jumpmasters leave the aircraft at a decent altitude while holding on to the student. They provide feedback and keep the student out of trouble. The student has the responsibility to perform prescribed manuvers and deploy the parachute at the appropriate altitude.

AFF consists of seven levels of training. This is my Level 1. I made a few mistakes but it was passable.
