For starting skydivers in the Netherlands, the Static Line training was popular a few years ago. A course in which the parachute opens directly through a line attached to the aircraft. Nowadays, however, almost everyone chooses the modern AFF course. AFF is a skydive course for beginners, where you make 7 free fall jumps of 55 seconds.
Get started seriously with skydiving
With the AFF training you immediately start free falling from the first jump. We do not do this in the Netherlands but in Southern Europe! First you start with the ground training, where we go through the basics. Only when we are sure that you are ready to make a free fall we go into the air.
At a height of 4 kilometers you make your first free fall under the guidance of our instructors. After 6 jumps, you can skydive without supervision, and you will get a recognized skydive license. In total you make 7 jumps with this course, because you get a free jump. Currently AFF is the best and fastest training to learn skydiving.
Book a skydive course in combination with a holiday
You can take a Skydive course in the Netherlands, but have you ever thought of combining your course with an active holiday in France, Portugal or Spain? At Airboss you can exclusively book a course in combination with a holiday in these countries.
How does it work? Simple. First, determine the location and the training you want to follow. In May we will go to to Seville in Spain and the summer holiday you can spend in Mimizan, France.
Learn skydiving in a unique way
The beauty of the combination of a skydiving course and a foreign holiday is that you learn skydiving in a unique way. From the first jump you literally dive into the sensation of freefalling, while enjoying the view after the parachute has opened. You will get to know all kinds of nice people who will take on the same adventure with you. You stay together in our holiday accommodation, and besides skydiving there is enough time for relaxation and to discover the surroundings!
Your Accelerated Free Fall course starts with ground school. During this first day you will get theoretical lessons and practical exercises. Essential techniques, such as maintaining a stable body position, checking your altimeter, mastering of important procedures and the right way to open your main parachute will be taught. You will also gain a good insight on how to control and land your parachute.
1
First skydive
You have completed ground school and are well-prepared. Together with two instructors you will go up to 4.200 meters. And they will guide and coach you from the very first to the very last second of your free fall, which lasts for about 1 minute. Once under your parachute we will guide you by radio until you are on the ground. Yeah! Your first skydive… This calls for a celebration!.

Second skydive
You debriefed your first jump with your instructor and have watched the video images. For your second skydive you will have a nice and easy task. Why? Because the second skydive is a repetition of the first. There maybe a few points of improvement but during this skydive we mainly want you to feel more free and at ease.
3
Third skydive
You have made your second skydive and your awareness grows. That is a good sign. It means you can do more exercises during your third jump and will enjoy your skydives even more. During this skydive, on guidance of the instructor, you will make 360 degree turns left and right. This is what we call heading control.

Fourth skydive
This is the jump the instructors look forward to. The fourth skydive. Most students think this skydive is the most memorable one of their course. After your exit from the aircraft you will make a triple forward loop after which, again on guidance of the instructor, you will make 360 degree turns left and right. How cool is that? You will start feeling like a real skydiver.

Fith skydive
The fun gets more and more. Why? Because you can do more. During this jump you will learn to fly on your back and how to do forward and backward loops in free fall. You will also learn to make a tracking. Or how to fly forward really fast. Like a rocket through the skies.

Sixth skydive
Your exam jump. During this jump you will show what you have learnt. And believe us when we say, it is be a lot after only a few days. You will surpass yourself and you’ll be amazed. But above all you will discover that skydiving is the greatest sport there is. Did you pass your exam? You can now start your solo jumps. Congratulations skydiver!
