Static-Line Jump
| Difficulty: Intermediate |
| Fun Factor: Extreme Fun! |
| Time Required: 7-8 Hours |
| Training Time: 4-6 Hours |
Description:
Are you a do-it-yourself type of person who always likes to be in control? If that is the case, then a Static-Line skydive may be right down your alley!
Through personalized coaching with your skydiving instructor, you will undergo an intensive ground course that will cover such topics as aircraft exit technique, body position, aircraft and canopy emergencies, canopy flight and landing patterns, and air turbulence, to name a few.
You will then strap into your very own parachute that is packed, inspected, and provided by the Cleveland Skydiving Center in accordance with all FAA safety regulations and board the airplane with your instructor.
Using the information and skills learned in the ground class, you will exit the airplane by yourself from 3500' above the ground! Upon exiting the aircraft, your parachute will open automatically and you will be guided via radio contact with your instructor to a safe, soft landing in our vast, grassy landing area.
The static-line skydiving program is a great way to enter the sport, by giving you a solid base of skills to build upon in future jumps. |

Accelerated Freefall
| Difficulty: Advanced |
| Fun Factor: Extreme Fun! |
| Time Required: 8-9 Hours |
| Training Time: 6-8 Hours |
Description:
Are you ready to dive head-first into the skydiving experience of your lifetime? Are you thinking that maybe, just maybe, skydiving is something that you'd like to pursue as a sport or hobby? Achieving that dream is actually much easier and less expensive than most people think!
The Accelerated Freefall (AFF) program is the Fast Track into the sport of skydiving. After an intensive ground course, you will don your own parachute, packed, inspected, and provided by the Cleveland Skydiving Center in accordance with all FAA safety regulations and board the airplane with two personal skydiving instructors.
You will skydive from over two miles up in the air with both of your personal instructors holding onto you for stability and guidance via hand signals. After freefalling for over 45 seconds, you will pull your own ripcord to open your parachute (your instructors will be there for you as a backup) and then you will pilot and land your parachute with the guidance of one of your instructors via radio communication.
Accelerated Freefall (AFF) is not only the fastest route to becoming a licensed skydiver, but you will also walk away with the knowledge that you jumped from an airplane in flight and landed safely on the ground, and you did everything yourself! |
