Love at first flight?
Yep, we know the feeling! If you’re ready to begin the awesome journey to becoming a licensed skydiver, we’re ready to make it happen. Our location in Central Texas makes us the ideal choice for anyone looking to learn to skydive near Austin, College Station, San Antonio, or Houston. What are you waiting for? Give us a call today to book your AFF First Jump Course (FJC) and learn to skydive with the friendliest skydiving team in Texas!
Your journey begins at TXS
Progress comes one step at a time. We follow the United States Parachute Association’s Integrated Student Progression, which begins with Accelerated Free Fall, or “AFF” training. Read on below to discover what it takes to get your skydiving license, and check out our FAQ page for everything you need to know!
How To Get Your Skydiving License!
To achieve your USPA A License, you must successfully complete the following:
- Do at least one tandem jump at TXS within 6 months prior to your Solo First jump Course (FJC).
- Complete USPA AFF Categories A through E (8 jumps minimum) with instructors
- Learn group safety skills (5 jumps minimum) with coaches
- Learn how to pack your own parachute
- Ace your check dive and written test
- Log a minimum of 25 jumps total
It’s a lot of coursework and practical application for good reason – once you earn your USPA skydiving license, you can blaze your own trail and jump with your friends! The great news is that you can progress through the levels at your own pace. The USPA requires students to jump at least once every 30 days to maintain currency. Waited a little too long between jumps? No problem! We’ll simply add a little refresher training to get you safely back up to speed.
Want to get a head start? Download the free Skydiver’s Information Manual (SIM). You’ll read the SIM throughout your progression to supplement your knowledge and prepare for the written test.
