The other 4 teenage girls in the class learned to smile and put their legs out.The difference is that the person told me he was in AFF and had a block of time wanting to actually learn something. At the end of that session he was doing: solo entrances, right and left turns, rate control (up and down,) forward and back, side slides and solo exits. I had an AFF student yesterday that did 10 minutes and had never been in a tunnel. With skydivers, I teach them to arch more, and in turn they get more wind. We like to keep first time flyers off the net with just enough wind to keep them from going above our heads. I train many new skydivers and my methods are very very different than your every day first time, bucket list, tunnel student. An ideal situation is an instructor that is also a skydiver and potentially even an AFF-I. We keep you as flat as we can so that we don't end up catching spots when we give you more wind.

Here goes: Tell your tunnel instructor you are doing AFF. Read our skydiving glossary to decode our language.
