SKYDIVE COURSES FOR THE BEGINNER.
1. START YOUR SKYDIVING CAREER WITH AN ACCELERATED FREE-FALL COURSE.
New to skydiving? No worries, our experienced instructors are here to help you find your wings!
Learn basic survival skills and elementary tricks for free-fall and canopy piloting in an Accelerated Free-Fall (AFF) course. This 10-jump program follows a simple to complex progression through the student skydiver's skills grid and is being administered in a one-on-one format by your personal AFF Instructor.
Visit our ACCELERATED FREE-FALL COURSE tutorial and learn all there is to know about the structure of your AFF course and associated tuition fees, registration requirements, available AFF course dates and booking procedures with the Flight Club skydiving school in Russia.
Once you have successfully mastered all targeted learning objectives of your AFF course, you will be a qualified self-supervised skydiver, meaning that you have been cleared to skydive solo without instructor free-fall supervision.

ABOUT THE FLIGHT CLUB SKYDIVING SCHOOL.
OUR HISTORY AND ORIGIN.
The Flight Club skydiving school was originally established on the territory of Skydive Arizona in Eloy, Arizona, by a loose assembly of five legendary skydivers. The label soon turned into a wildly popular outfit in the world skydiving scene and things took off from there.
Today, the original members have moved on to pursue their individual careers, each with great success.
What has remained, is Flight Club's reputation for fielding world-class skydive coaches on the international playing field, providing state-of-the-art skydive student training, load-organizing, coaching and mentorship to skydivers of any experience level.
