Skydive - St. Louis Skydiving Center

Accelerated Freefall Progression
(Phase I Training)

The Accelerated Freefall Progression (AFP) is a hybrid program consisting of 3 Tandem Levels, a ground school, and 5 instructional levels.

For your instructional jumps after your 3 tandem skydives, you will jump from 14,000 feet wearing your own parachute. This program involves five levels of instruction followed by three solo jumps and is the fastest way to become a licensed skydiver. In addition to thorough ground instruction at every level, you will be carefully debriefed after each jump to ensure you get the most out of the experience.

After completing Phase I Training you will move into Phase II Training. This phase of your training will consist of a combination of solo skydives as well as skydives made with our world class skydiving coaches. It is possible to make several jumps a day, so you can progress as fast as you like.

When you complete Phase II you will have a minimum of 25 skydives and be able to obtain an "A" license, the first of four proficiency ratings administered by the United States Parachute Association (USPA). With and "A" license and your own equipment, you can skydive almost anywhere. For any additional information please call us at toll-free at 1-800-STL-JUMP.
