What is a static line?

What is the training for AFF or Static Line?

After my First AFF or Static Line Jump, what's next?

Frequently Asked Questions
AFF consists of nine levels of freefall training. Once jump #1 is completed, it usually takes only about an hour to prepare for each additional level. You can expect to do 3 levels in a day, if you have the time to spend at it. That means you can complete Jumps 2-9 and graduate in only 3 days. With the static line, you will continue similar type jumps (minimum 15 jumps), until you can pull the parachute yourself and then gradually work your way up in freefall.

Why do I experience static on the VoIP line?

FAQ
Static only occurs on the analog side of the phone system (the telephone itself and the telephone cables). Once the signal is sent through the VoIP device it is digitized eliminating any possibility for static. It is also very likely the person you are calling is on an analog connection. Their connection could also be causing the static.

MIT Skydiving Club
Jumptown (nor most drop zones in New England) does not offer static line training any more, but this description is left on here for completeness. Static Line is the military way of teaching students. Each jump is cheaper than AFF, but it takes more jumps to get off of student status and reach the level of novice skydiver. The total cost from zero to skydiver is about the same as AFF.

What is the cause of static on the line?

FAQ - DigiPhone.ca Frequently Asked Questions
Static or buzzing noises on your line can only occur on the analog side of the phone system. This analog segment consists of your phone and phone cable. Once the signal is sent through the phone adapter, it is digitized and can no longer create static or buzzing. Cordless telephones can generate static due to a weak signal-connection between the base of the telephone and the handset.

Should I do a Tandem jump, an AFF jump, or Static Line Jump?

Frequently Asked Questions
We think that ANY skydive is a good one to do! Accelerated Freefall (AFF) is more for those that really want to learn all they can about skydiving. In static line training there is no freefall until your 6th jump. Tandem Jumps are more of an introduction, but do count towards your future training. If you only plan to make one jump ever, we recommend a tandem. If you think you might become a regular skydiver and pursue the sport, then try an AFF.

I hear a buzz or static on the line, is this normal?

FAQs about VoIP, voip issues, porting questions, problems.
It is not normal to hear buzzing. This can be caused by interference with cordless handsets or faulty grounding in the phone circuitry. Try another corded phone to see if the buzz stops. Connect your phone directly to the IAD to eliminate any possible faulty wiring problems in the home circuitry. This can be a result of a carrier routing particular calls over a route where high latency occurs.

Is the static present on the same line at all extensions in your office?

FAQ
If both of these things are true, can you locate the line in your telephone system and swap the port to a port that is not having problems. If the static follows to the new location (for example, line two has static, you swap it with line one in your phone system and now line one has static) then the problem is definitely not in your telephone system and you must call your service provider for assistance.

If I go through the Static Line Course, will I be able to make more than one jump per day?

Tri-State Skydivers, USPA Group Member, Lawerence County Air...
It depends on the number of people that are in the class. Usually you will be able to make a second jump the same day you train. We do not recommend making more than three jumps in one day simply because of the "sensory overload" factor.

If I take the static line course, what do I have to do to make a freefall jump?

Frequently Asked Questions
You'll generally make at least 5 static line jumps. On 3 of those jumps, you'll pull a practice ripcord. If you perform properly on all 3 of those practice-ripcord-pull jumps, you'll move on to your first freefall. That first freefall takes place from about 3,500 ft. You'll gradually move up to higher altitudes for longer freefalls depending on your skill progress. Some people get up to "the top" on about their 13th jump.
