somethinelse 0 #1 July 7, 2004 I need some info about what is immediately ahead for me in my training... So far Ive had total of 5 tandem and did AFF jumps thur level 5 And SAT. I did 2 static jumps, they went great, and the trainer said I did well. After one more static I can do IAF jumps. The DZO said that I could be doing solo jumps by the end of summer- exciting thought!- but nerve-wracking too... Is IAF just like AFF? How is it different? Is it the same in regard to working on skills and getting the proficiency card filled in for A-licence? THANX-LILA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrisky 2 #2 July 8, 2004 What is IAF and SAT? Why did you go back to static line after 5 AFF Levels and 5 Tandems? Just do two more successful AFF jumps and you can go solo after that, which could be done in one weekend, not end of summer...The mind is like a parachute - it only works once it's open. From the edge you just see more. ... Not every Swooper hooks & not every Hooker swoops ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #3 July 8, 2004 There are a variety of variations on Instructor Assisted Freefall. Most are done with one instructor, but in the long run are similar to AFF. It does not matter which program you follow - as long as it conforms to USPA's new training program - by the end of any program, you will have demonstrated all the skills needed for your USPA A License. Like Chris said, you should be solo own by the end of next weekend. What is SAT? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
somethinelse 0 #4 July 9, 2004 I needed to deal with issues regarding exiting and my confidence. I am feeling much betterNOW! I was stressing out in AFF due to "over load" of multiple tasks to do in free fall. I need confidence first in my ability to exit and to get myself quickly under canopy. So I decided that Static could help me thru this plateau I was finding myself on. P.S. REGARDING"SAT"- I'm sorry, I had awkwardly wrote my sentence, I meant, and on Sat. as in on SATURDAY, I did 2 static jumps. YOU SEE, SATURDAY WAS A REAL BREAK THRU FOR ME! I really can see myself solo and with coach jusmps really soon...How awesome is that??! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
