AFF training, or Accelerated Freefall, is a modern training program that allows you to quickly gain the knowledge and skills needed to independently and safely perform parachute jumps. AFF training consists of: theoretical training and practical ground and air training.

What knowledge does the AFF theoretical training give you?
