AFF Level 6
This is a very exciting jump! You will only have one instructor with
you, and you are asked to perform a back loop. The freefall
learning objectives are to exit the airplane unassisted,
maintain altitude awareness, recover from an unstable position,
control your freefall unassisted, and wave off at
4500 ft and deploy the main parachute.
