Ground School
Before you take to the skies, your adventure begins with a full day of ground school, guided by one of our experienced instructors. During this essential first step, you'll learn everything you need to know about skydiving equipment, safety protocols, and key techniques.
You'll cover the proper exit procedure from the aircraft, how to position your body for stable freefall, and how to maintain control during your descent. We’ll also teach you how to deploy your parachute and steer your canopy for a smooth, safe landing in the designated landing area. This comprehensive introduction ensures that you're well-prepared and confident before making your first jump!
The AFF Course
Once you've completed ground school, it's time to put your training into action and begin skydiving. The AFF (Accelerated Freefall) course consists of eight levels, with one skydive per level. Each successful level will help you develop the core skills you need to jump solo.
Before each jump, you'll receive a thorough refresher training session to ensure you're fully prepared. You'll practice all the essential procedures, including skydive and canopy control, until both you and your instructors are confident in your ability to complete each jump safely.
After every skydive, your instructors will debrief you using video footage of your jump, offering constructive feedback to help refine your skills for the next level. This hands-on approach to learning ensures continuous improvement and builds your confidence.
Upon successfully completing all eight AFF levels, you'll move on to ten consolidation jumps. These jumps will help solidify your skills and prepare you for your skydiving license. At the right stage, you'll also receive additional canopy training to fine-tune your canopy skills. Upon completion, you'll earn your first skydiving license—marking the exciting start of your skydiving journey!
Level 1
On your first jump, two instructors will accompany you to guide you through freefall. You'll focus on maintaining the correct body position, staying aware of your altitude, and performing "practice pulls" to locate your parachute deployment handle. When the time comes, you'll deploy your own parachute and steer the canopy back to the landing area with assistance from your instructors via radio communication.
Level 2
On this jump, two instructors will accompany you once again. If you demonstrate good control and body position, one instructor will release from your side, giving you more independence in freefall. You'll continue refining your body position and altitude awareness while gaining greater confidence in the air. As before, you'll deploy your own parachute and pilot the canopy back to the landing area with guidance from your instructors via radio communication.
Level 3
On this jump, you'll once again be accompanied by two instructors. After completing your practice pulls, both instructors will release you entirely—provided you demonstrate solid control and body position. Your goal is to maintain a stable heading, stay aware of your altitude, and deploy your parachute at the correct altitude. Just before deployment, your instructors will re-join your side to ensure a smooth transition.
Level 4
On Level 4, you'll jump with a single instructor and focus on controlling turns in freefall. You'll practice initiating, managing, and stopping turns while maintaining proper body position and altitude awareness. Once you've completed the turns and confirmed the correct altitude, you'll deploy your parachute and navigate the canopy back to the landing area under your instructor's supervision.
Level 5
This level focuses on refining your turns with controlled 360-degree rotations in both directions while maintaining precise altitude awareness. After completing the manoeuvres and reaching the correct altitude, you'll deploy your parachute and pilot the canopy back to the landing area under your instructor's supervision.
Level 6
Level 6 marks your first solo exit from the aircraft without being linked to an instructor. In freefall, you'll practice regaining stability by performing a back loop and recovering smoothly. You'll also work on tracking—an essential skill for moving horizontally through the air. Tracking is crucial for future jumps with other skydivers, and this exercise will help you build confidence and control.
Level 7
Now that you've mastered body position, heading control, basic manoeuvres, and safe parachute deployment, Level 7 brings everything together. You'll execute a solo exit, perform a back loop, complete two controlled 360-degree turns, and practice tracking—all while maintaining altitude awareness and precise heading control. To complete the jump, you'll deploy your parachute at the correct altitude and navigate the canopy back to the landing area under your instructor's supervision.
Level 8
On this jump, you'll exit the aircraft solo from 5,000 feet and deploy your parachute within ten seconds, all while maintaining stability. This jump is designed to build your confidence in exiting the aircraft from a lower altitude and handling the process independently.
Consolidation Jumps
To become a licensed skydiver, you'll need to complete ten consolidation jumps. These jumps give you the opportunity to practice everything you've learned so far while receiving additional canopy training to refine your piloting skills. On each jump, you'll be supervised by an instructor in the aircraft, but you'll be jumping solo. This is your chance to solidify your skills, build confidence, and prepare for jumping independently!
Upcoming Events
Airsport Skydiving Academy run monthly trips throughout the year in sunny Seville where the conditions are better suited for student skydiving and maximum progression. We also provide further progression and qualification training for any of our skydiving family wanting to progress and further their knowledge in formation skydiving, tracking, free flying and canopy control.
