Your AFF Training at Pullout Skydive
AFF training (accelerated freefall training) is a comprehensive training method from the USA. Absolute beginners learn skydiving within a few days and in seven jumps through experienced professionals. Practical training begins with Level 1, i.e. the first jump from the plane. The result: You jump independently, control the free fall and learn to open and land the main parachute safely!
Safety – the Be-All and End-All
From equipment to handling to the jump: safety is our top priority. In seven jumps, our experienced instructors will show you what to consider when skydiving. At Pullout Skydive, all instructors are certified by the German Parachuting Association (DFV) and have already completed thousands of jumps. Your passed AFF training is the beginning of a great passion for a breathtaking sport!

The AFF training takes place in weekly courses. We start on Sundays with the Ground School (
Ground School
The AFF training begins with the Ground School, the theoretical preparation on the ground for the first jump.
Contents:
- Introduction to the sport of “skydiving“
- Equipment: from the parachute system with main and reserve parachute to the altimeter and radio
- Procedure of the first jump with climb, exit, free fall, parachute opening, parachute ride and landing including practical exercises
- Behavior in an emergency
- A written test that shows whether you have understood everything
Level 1
During the first level, you jump out of the plane together with two instructors. The goal is to get used to the free fall.
Contents:
- Correct posture
- read the altimeter
- react to hand signals from the two teachers
- Grip exercises and open the main parachute yourself at the intended altitude
- Independent parachute ride and landing
Level 2
In addition to Level 1, this level includes turning exercises and “trim controls” for posture such as forward travel. The teachers still hold you tight during the whole jump.
Level 3
In this level, the teachers still hold you during the “exit.” If you fall safely, they will gradually let go and you can fly through the air on your own. You adhere to the instructions discussed beforehand. The teachers will hold you again to open the parachute.
Level 4
In this level you jump with only one teacher for the first time. He will still hold you during the “exit.” Then you turn 90 degrees on your own and stop independently!
Level 5
In this jump you will learn 360-degree turns.
Level 6
This time you jump completely independently for the first time. Here you show your teacher, among other things, a backward somersault, a 360-degree turn and open the parachute without being held.
Level 7
This is your “Graduation Jump”, the jump where you demonstrate what you have learned so far. The level also marks the end of the AFF training.
