Solo Skydiving - AFF first jump
Is a tandem jump not enough for you? Then we recommend a solo jump in the form of a "ripcord jump" or an "AFF first jump"—in both cases, you’ll jump out of the plane alone with your own parachute!
Of course, you’ll receive thorough preparation for your AFF first jump, and two experienced skydiving instructors will be by your side during the jump. They’ll stabilize you and help you assume the correct body position. At a safe altitude, you’ll open your parachute yourself and steer toward the landing zone. A skydiving instructor on the ground will give you the necessary instructions via radio. The AFF first jump is the first step in skydiving training. Maybe this is the start of a great skydiving career?

I just did my first solo jump. The instructors are seriously awesome. The intensive theory course really prepares you well for the jump, so everything is safe. That means a window seat would be a bad idea. :)
The jump was incredible, but don't underestimate it. It looks super easy, but I realized pretty quickly that freefall isn't so easy after all. My next step will be the basic course, but only with you guys.
Best regards, Simon

It was an amazing experience. The Course Instructor did his job excellently, explained everything and repeated the important things again and again.
It was an unforgetable moment.

That was a fantastic experience. My son and I are thrilled. The training was competent and conveyed a good level of safety. The jump was super prepared and accompanied.
Perfect. Thank you!

I booked the course for a 1200 meter ripcord jump but on the day we had the course we couldn't jump because of the weather and the airfield closure in Zurich but they offered us to come back the next day at noon (outside the regular thermals which I thought was great) but again we couldn't jump that day because of the weather. They offered us to come back on August 19th even though it was still an official booking which I thought was great and on that day they offered us the chance to do an AFF solo jump I was so happy about the flexibility of the airplanes and this airfield in Triengen. The AFF solo jump was absolutely the best I've ever experienced and I can only recommend it to others. It's a shame that we had to pay 150 Fr for a video and as I knew that it wouldn't be my last jump I didn't book the vodeo. The team there was super friendly, warm and very competent during the training. So a big thank you to all the people there! Kind regards

Hey, you're a great team! That was a great experience! Thank you for your patience and for securing me! I have blue thighs, but luckily you recorded and captured the experience. It was "huere geil!!!"
I'll definitely be back! Unfortunately, I already posted the flight in my story and forgot to tag you... Anyway, I'll be back!
See you soon!
Best regards Robin
