🛫 What Makes Alpha1 Training Different?

The training experience at Alpha1 Dropzone is built on three pillars: safety, progression, and real-world
mastery. We combine traditional techniques with modern skydiving advancements to give students the most
effective learning possible.

• 🔐 Highest safety ratings through rigorous equipment checks
• 🧠 Ground school education blending theory & practical drills
• 🪂 In-air coaching with certified professionals
• 💬 Detailed post-jump debriefings to refine skills
• 📈 Progression plans tailored to each student’s pace

These elements ensure every student receives consistent support from Day 1 to their first solo jump.

📘 1. Ground School Training — Your Foundation to the Sky

Before stepping into the aircraft, every student begins with Ground School, a full learning
session covering the technical, physical, and mental aspects of skydiving. Here, students learn:

• ✈️ Aircraft procedures & exit techniques
• 🪂 Body positioning during freefall
• 🔍 Altitude awareness & safety signals
• 📦 Parachute deployment mechanics
• 🛬 Canopy control & landing strategy

Ground school builds strong fundamentals, ensuring students know exactly what to expect before taking their
first true leap.

🪂 2. Assisted Freefall Program (AFF)

The assisted freefall program (AFF) is the world’s leading method for teaching new skydivers. In this course,
two instructors jump alongside you, stabilizing your body and guiding you through real-time maneuvers. As
you progress, instructor involvement decreases, giving you more independence.

Students will learn to:

• 🧭 Maintain stable body position
• 🎯 Perform heading control & turns
• 🖐️ Use hand signals for communication
• 🔄 Execute altitude checks
• 🎒 Deploy their own parachute

AFF is fast-paced, professional, and ideal for students who want to progress quickly into licensed skydivers.

🪁 3. Canopy Control & Landing Practice

Freefall is just half of the experience — learning to guide your canopy safely is equally important. At
Alpha1 Dropzone, canopy training sessions teach students:

• 🪁 Steering mechanics & flight patterns
• 🏞️ Approaching landing zones safely
• 🌬️ Handling different wind conditions
• 📐 Flare timing for smooth landings
• 🪫 Emergency maneuver procedures

Our canopy courses build control, confidence, and precise landing skills.

📊 4. Solo Jump Certification

After completing essential skill levels, students can qualify for their first solo skydive.
This moment is one of the most rewarding milestones in skydiving — flying independently for the first time.

Requirements include:

• 📘 Completing ground school modules
• 🪂 Passing AFF progression levels
• 📈 Meeting altitude and maneuver criteria
• 📝 Instructor approval & safety briefing

Solo jumps mark the transition from student to self-guided skydiver, a huge achievement for every participant.

🎖️ 5. License Progression (A, B, C & D)

For those wanting more than just solo jumps, Alpha1 Dropzone offers license progression programs aligned with
international skydiving standards. These licenses include:

• 🅰️ A-License — allows solo jumps & small groups
• 🅱️ B-License — advanced canopy skills & water landings
• 🅾️ C-License — complex formations & night jumps
• 🅿️ D-License — professional skydiving credentials

Each license promotes refined skillsets, confidence, and deeper expertise in freefall training.

💬 Post-Jump Evaluation & Continuous Improvement

After every jump, students undergo a detailed evaluation with instructors. This session reviews body position,
flight path, landing accuracy, and altitude awareness. The goal is consistent improvement and confidence
building. Students also gain access to:

• 📹 Jump video playback & analysis
• 🧭 Personalized correction plans
• 🗂️ Student progress logs
• 📚 Safety refreshers & mentorship

These evaluations form the backbone of technical mastery.

The Training Programs at Alpha1 Dropzone are more than courses — they are pathways to
transformation. Students not only learn skydiving skills but also develop discipline, awareness, and
confidence that extend beyond the aircraft.
