Relative flight training (for obtaining the A License)
If you have completed the Progressive Free Fall training (PFF), are a solo certified and have between 10 and 25 jumps, you will be eligible for the relative flight program, also known as Post-PFF.
Required for the A License, the program usually includes 5 jumps with one instructor (5 levels).
The 5 Post-PFF jumps generally take place as follows:
| Jump | Plane exit | Free fall maneuvers | Maneuvers under canopy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Linked, Inside center | Levels : Up, Down, Track on heading | Front riser turns |
| Level 2 | Linked, Center floater | Forward movement and docking, Track on heading | 360 turns and flaring with back risers |
| Level 3 | Linked, Rear flotter | Forward, levels (movement and docking), Floating Track | 360 turns with front risers |
| Level 4 | Dive out exit | 3 docks with change of level and heading, Floating Track | Canopy stalls |
| Level 5 | Dive out exit with 2 seconds delay | 3 docks with change of level and heading (Flying the dock without grabbing for 3 seconds), Floating Track | Flat turns in both directions |
* Jump repeats may be required if levels are unsuccessful.
*Post-PFF jumps costs 99$ + taxes, without the equipment rental.
All jumps in your Post-PFF training will be filmed, which will allow you to see, with the help of your instructor, the necessary improvements.
During your Post-PFF training, you will learn:
- Some theoretical and practical aspects of skydiving safety
- Some equipment concepts (how to select your equipment, how to check another person’s equipment, etc.)
- The entry order to be respected in the aircraft
- The use of parachute safety systems (Cypress, Vigil, etc.)
- To be a solo skydiver able to jump in a group
