This is what a AFF instructor can do and what requirements you need to become one

this is the link from where the info came from

WHAT IS A USPA ACCELERATED FREEFALL
(AFF) INSTRUCTOR?
1. The USPA Instructor is the one of three instructional
ratings USPA administers, preceded by USPA Coach
and followed by Instructor Examiner.
2. A USPA AFF Instructor may—
a. exercise all privileges of the USPA Coach rating
b. conduct AFF-type jumps, the AFF first-jump
course, and transition training to AFF
c. conduct training in the general portions of any
first-jump course
d. train and supervise jumps with non-methodspecific
students
e. conduct the A-license oral quiz and check dive
f. verify certain USPA license applications, according
to the requirements in SIM Section 3
g. supervise a USPA Coach in training students and
making recurrency jumps with licensed skydivers
3. Supervision (BSRs)
a. All student training is conducted under the
direction and oversight of an appropriately rated
USPA Instructor (refer to the BSRs).
b. All general, non-method-specific student training
and jump supervision may be conducted by any
USPA Instructor, but method-specific training and
jumps (AFF, IAD, static-line, and tandem) require
a USPA Instructor who holds that method-specific
rating.


This is what you need to become one

4. Candidates may earn the USPA AFF Instructor rating
who have met all the following requirements:
a. reached the age of 18 years
b. holds or has held any USPA instructional
rating
c. earned a USPA C license or the FAI equivalent
d. logged six hours of freefall time
e. completed the USPA AFF Instructor Proficiency
Card (applicable portions)
f. successfully proven ability by successfully
completing the written and practical AFF
evaluation process with a USPA AFF Instructor
Rating Course Director

Never give the gates up and always trust your rears!

From the USPA Instructor Rating Manual:

Candidates may earn the USPA AFF Instructor rating who have met all the following requirements:
a. reached the age of 18 years
b. holds or has held any USPA instructional rating*
c. earned a USPA C license or the FAI equivalent
d. logged six hours of freefall time
e. completed the USPA AFF Instructor Proficiency Card (applicable portions)
f. successfully proven ability by successfully completing the written and practical AFF
evaluation process with a USPA AFF Instructor Rating Course Director

*This means if you are not already a USPA Instructor in another training discipline, you will need a Coach Rating before you can attend the AFF Instructor Course. Many Course Directors run them back-to-back at the same location: Coach Course/AFF Pre-Course/AFF Course.
