Tandem Stockton

The tandem first-jump training typically costs around $100 less than AFF and about the same as IAD and static-line training. When Making an AFF Skydive The student exits the aircraft with two USPA AFF Instructors. AFF first-jump training and the jump requires more support from the staff than the other methods and is priced accordingly. This sport delivers a rush of adrenaline followed by a feeling of well-being, due to the effect of leaping into the air and falling freely for some time before using the parachute. This sense of calm will relax a skydiver even after landing for quite a long time. Tandem Skydiving parachute jumps are the most popular first jumps. Some Tandem skydiving training programs instruct first-time jumpers on how and when to deploy the main canopy themselves. In these programs, about half of the first-jump students succeed. However, the tandem master remains primarily responsible for safe and timely parachute deployment. In the US and in most of the western world skydivers are required to carry a second, reserve parachute which has been inspected and packed by a certificated parachute rigger (in the US, an FAA certificated parachute rigger). Many skydivers use an automatic activation device (AAD) that opens the reserve parachute at a safe altitude in the event of failing to activate the main canopy themselves.
