AFF Complete in 3 Jumps!

In this video, I show you a compilation of my Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) licensed jumps (USPA) at SkyDive Dubai. As per the United States Parachute Association you are required to do a minimum of 5 jumps in order to get your AFF license. Therefore, the additional two jumps in this video were part of my coaching jumps something normally done after your AFF.
I have multiple hours of Wind Tunnel training at Inflight Dubai which is one of the main reasons that allowed me to progress very quickly.

I still have vivid visual memories of my swoop and dock coach jumps 14 years ago! May you have a long and prosperous jumping career friend

[@QrshiQ]

Dude, that was the cleanest student training I've ever seen, great job, enjoyed watching!!

[@Roniboney]

Fuck man I struggled at my level 3 jump. Had to put in tunnel time to get stable. Seeing you blast through AFF is amazing. Well done. Blue skies.

[@NardelliFilmesOficial]

finished my aff after 7 long jumps , and 2 levels repeated hahah , currently with 10 jumps , and looking forward to the next 10 , wish i had this feeling you got in your first time flying , nice focus !

[@fleafrier1]

Rock solid. I think you were flying way better on your first jump than I was on my 100th. Nice landings btw, which you couldn’t learn in a tunnel.

[@sekaf4125]

Ok that was cool. I’ve always seen the tunnel when we travel to seattle. I need to try. I’ve had both knees replaced I think I can do it

[@yj10guy]

Sweet. Time to start swooping.

[@welingtonsantos4529]

Congratulation man. It was so cool. It was a pleasure to see you learning. I hope you enjoy each opportunity. One day will be my time

[@havokcbr]

Tunnel time helped me immensely

[@ROST9211]

So nice and smooth! Like it

[@outcold2327]

Great job, man! Blue sky ! ! !

[@johnjones947]

Looks great, you looked very comfortable. How much tunnel time did you have before your first jump? It looked like you were able to execute all the tasks with such ease.

[@stunnr84]

awesome video! kinda inspired me to go sky diving again 👍

[@carlhewlett]

Thanks Sara, you should jump again!

[@wildeyestudios5]

really nice, many aff students wish they were so stable and calm, how many hours of tunnel did you have at the time?

[@swampymaan]

nice work... i needed 5 jumps... great vid

[@BurninatorTheTrogdor]

I had about 20mins before AFF and I'm glad I did it. More tunnel when I start to learn freeflying. Remember you don't have a rig on in the tunnel and you are normally going way slower if you're just starting. Nothing really prepares you for flying your canopy either. If you can afford it do tunnel when you're not jumping.

[@northernrebel1375]

You are very good, but it looks like you just skipped over a lot of the requirements we have here in the US. What you completed in your 3 jumps, we would break into 5, plus we have another 2-3 jumps with additional metrics that you weren’t required to touch on.

[@AuthenticJunk]

Tunnel helps a lot. 😁

[@michaelsupple6081]

Outstanding!

[@Emzfit]

Awesome video!

[@flycandid5534]

good Job, you've got the Great Shunka with you too

[@olgagerhardt-frei9531]

You are crazy ,😊 .... wonderful

[@roelmayol191]

I already had 3 jumps in C1 alone and still needs to repeat 😁

[@petesmith9472]

I have a number of static line jumps from the early 70s and 80s but never had the raw talent to overcome fear except once in an accuracy comp jumping a steerable round. Even today aged 66 I would love to give it another try. Maybe accelerated free fall and the better equipment will help overcome my irrational fear.

[@malcolmkeith816]

nah bro... the fear is very rational lol

[@petesmith9472]

@@malcolmkeith816 ..I should have said 70s, 80s, AND as late as 1995. an four of the jumps in the 80s were off the ramp of a Caribou and into the sea.

[@fluffybunnyz]

Nice work mate... just gotta work on the canopy skills now :)

[@danielfisher9843]

Unreal 👏🏻

[@Kalerix9999]

I had just under an hour in the tunnel before i went skydiving aff was a breeze lol

[@thedomesticgypsy3418]

Thats awesome! Im not sure if I could ever sky dive lol

[@carlhewlett]

Sure you can! Just book you ticket and go for it, you wont regret it 😋

[@archangel9114]

AFF is not complete yet, it's missing the 'playing patty-cake' certification.

[@aneesmeledath7]

Could you please tell me the total expenses you had

[@marcinpiatek6108]

You are the tunel rat dude :) it's helping to do good job within freefall but as you know there is more various thing to keep it in order all. Wisch a lot of jumps.

[@lakithjayanetti9128]

how many hours did you have in the tunnel?

[@David-ry5il]

If I knew tunnel helped this much I would have made the investment would have taken all the stress out of AFF ..

[@OlivierLopezCh]

I met several people while doing AFF and my A license progression, and something I noticed is that the people with more success rate on their jumps, had previous experience doing tunnel time

[@csrt7774]

Woooowwwww

[@Harloweqbumfuque]

I'd say your wind tunnel work paid big dividends!

[@shawntootill24]

How I hope my AFF will go...

[@freddypatterson8653]

As an old AFFI, I must say one of the best instructors I've seen on here. One note if I may, teach the student to look, wave before pulling a bit better. Over all student and instructor gets a big A.

[@skydiveradical2923]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@spankyhadley515]

Wish all my students were that easy. Now go work on all your canopy skills from the categories you were able to skip. Braked turns might save your butt someway.

[@northernrebel1375]

This doesn’t make sense to me. Why would they allow this. Sure you are probably good in free fall. But you don’t have experience with a canopy or malfunctions which are arguably the most important part of the AFF program. I wouldn’t have let you condense your jump requirements this much. You also appear to have skipped over alot of requirements. And in the US you need more than 5 jumps. You need like 25 jumps.

[@bradleybeckstead9674]

Way too many signals from the instructors! Also, you should never let go on a Cat A. I don't care how much tunnel time they have.

[@Ernypara69-8]

Questo ha più di cento lanci.. filmato fake

[@rickyonovitz3214]

When I jumped I don’t remember stupid bad music...

[@engscott78]

If you got a license after that few jumps, your instructors are idiots and need to lose their ratings. What about all the canopy progression and spotting experience? Freefall isn’t everything. Blue skies

[@flagstafup5857]

In my day I progressed through the static line, and FF delays which took years before I got my D License, eventually gaining my Instructor and Tandem ratings, (and 3 years in the ‘Freds’👺). This confirms that tunnel time is a must if you want to learn to FF and progress quickly. It was pleasure to watch you exit and FF with that ability and confidence. Interestingly, my very last lump was on this very DZ. Blue Sky’s and safe landings. 🪂👹🇬🇧🇦🇪
