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.

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.

You will generally arrive early in the morning (8:30-9:00am), complete your waiver and start the classroom training. Your day will be a mixture of classroom and practical training to prepare you for a skydive with your own equipment.

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.

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.

Video is often available for tandem jumps. The club does not offer this service, but some of our individual members do. They charge $60 for a DVD. For static-line jumpers... we often videotape your jumps for replay as a training aid. Copies of these tapes can be purchased for a small fee..

Yes. Once you've made a tandem jump, if you take the static-line course before the end of the calendar year, the price for it is reduced to $130. Likewise, if you've made a static-line jump and then wish to have the experience of a tandem jump, the fee for the tandem is reduced to $130.

A static line is a fixed length of rope usually with some sort of quick-release on each end which is attached to a moving vehicle at one end and the hangglider at the other. Often a tension gauge is inserted in the towline to insure that the hangglider is not towed too hard.

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.

AFF stands for Accelerated Free Fall. It is now the most popular way to learn to skydive. AFF is divided into 8 categories, each with a set of checkpoints. Your jumpmasters train you on various elements of skydiving and give you feedback after every jump. Some students finish AFF in 8 jumps, but many have to repeat one of the categories and do it in about 9 or so.

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.

Static on the telephone line is normally caused by a problem with the cable infrastructure. The cabling is not covered under the ServiceNOW™ agreement. Technician trouble-resolution of the cabling is done on a "time and material" basis. The RIMOOS monitoring system can be set up to automatically send real-time alarm information to the customer.

Depending on the circumstances, the static line can be secured to a wall bracket (provided with each system) a pre-designated roof exit, or to an extension static line (provided with each system) that can be attached to a structure like a desk leg or column.

You need to know how to register a ColdFusion datasource - either on your own server, or through your web host provider. Once that is completed, you simply enter in the setup URL string into your web browser to run the setup routine. Things get a little tricky when your shopping cart is not ColdFusion. There are alternate solutions mapped out, and explicit instructions on how to implement the solution.

Aff_Manager comes bundled with an Access 2000 database for ease of distribution. Aff_Manager will run great with this database; however, in a high-volume production environment, it is recommended that you use an enterprise database application like SQL Server. We prefer and recommends using SQL Server 2000, but any relational database such as MySQL or Oracle will work just fine with Aff_Manager. Not exactly, we call it pay-per-visit.
