SKYDIVE LICENSE IN THE POCONOS
At Pegasus Skydive Center, we love turning First-Time Jumpers into Frequent Flyers!
We’re a USPA (United States Parachute Association)-certified dropzone located in the beautiful Poconos area, proudly serving Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York, and our accreditation allows us to train you all the way through your A-License.
If you’re ready to learn to skydive, we’re here to guide you every step of the way!
The course is divided into two parts. The AFF course is for jumping “SOLO” in our Drop Zone, and your ultimate goal is your “A” license, which you will use to jump around the world and more people.
AFF COURSE
- Ground school: A day of training and practice on the ground practice and learn all you need to know to jump with your own parachute.
- Tandem Jumps : Every jump is a category and you have to pass this level in order to move forward to the next challenger, in this area we will teach you how and when to open the parachute, flying your canopy to the designed it points and landing techniques. (2 Jumps).
- AFF jumps: for the following levels, you will jump with instructors beside you, everyone with his own parachute (7 jumps). At the end of those jumps, you will be free to jump on your own.
GETTING YOUR LICENSE:
- Coach Jumps and Solos: In order to get your A license you´ll have to complete 25 jumps minimum, in those jumps, 4 of them are going to be with a skydiving coach and 2 are going to be jumping from a lower altitude (Hop&Pop).
- We offer comprehensive parachute packing training in a supportive environment. You’ll receive one-on-one guidance from experienced instructors who will observe and assist you. We encourage repeated practice, allowing you to build confidence and pack your parachute independently.
- Check Dive and Test: We are almost there for the beginning of you skydive progression, in this stage you are going to jump with a Instructor showing him you can do loops, control axcel directions, move for separation in freefall and land your canopy safety. After successful completion of this jump, we will run a USPA A license test, which is quite easy at this point. After that, you had your Skydive A Licence. BRAVO!!
