Cleveland Solo Skydiving
You've arrived! Whether you've completed one or more tandem jumps or this will be your first skydive ever, get ready for some alone time in the sky!
Your first solo jump also marks the beginning of the Accelerated Freefall (AFF) training program. You will begin with the first Jump Course, a 6-hour ground school in which you will learn about aircraft exit, body position, canopy deployment, canopy flight, landing procedures, and safety procedures.
Weather permitting, you can jump the same day. For the solo jump, you and two USPA certified AFF instructors will exit the aircraft as a team, from 13,000 feet. During free fall, they will help you to stay stable and teach you using hand signals. Your instructors will stay with you through canopy deployment, then you will fly and land your own parachute. It is amazing!
After you land, if you find yourself looking to the sky and wanting to feel the incredible feeling of flight again (we predict you will), then it's time to continue your training and work toward your first USPA License!
You also have the option to complete the Solo AFF first jump course, then try out your new skills on an AFF Training Tandem prior to your first solo jump. They can usually be done the same day and it is a great way to build your skills and your confidence!!
