Mangiapane85 0 #1 July 8, 2010 Hello all, I'm a new member of the site, although I have been reading it for a while now. I'm going to be starting my skydiving career in a couple or three weeks and the school I'll be going to (which conveniently enough is just a few miles from where I reside) offers an IAD course as an alternative to AFF. It doesn't get u to the license as quick as aff but it's much more cost effective, and that's my primary concern. I'm without a job as of the moment, but I have the fever to get up there for my first time, I simply can't wait anymore. So... What's everyones thoughts on iad vs aff? Pros/cons, etc. Any input would be greatly appreciated. :) oh, and great site you have here. Cheers.-FEAR IS TEMPORARY...REGRET IS FOREVER! -"People living deeply have no fear of death"- Anais Nin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #2 July 8, 2010 With the USPA, 25 jumps is the minimum for an 'A' license so it shouldn't take any more jumps with one vs the other. I think IAD often produces better canopy pilots, and that's a big deal since that's the biggest area of risk of injury and/or death. IAD is often done at DZ's operating smaller aircraft, so you may be in for a bit of a shock when you travel to a busy DZ, but briefings and caution can mitigate this. Cost can be a factor, and if it is, take the route that's going to leave you with more options once training is over. Money saved can go towards gear, and more jumps. Have fun either way!---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gearless_chris 1 #3 July 8, 2010 I like IAD, probably because that's how I learned, but also because you'll be concentrating on what saves your life, flying the canopy. You can make a couple IAD jumps a week for the cost of one AFF jump. I wonder if the number of fatalities under good parachutes went up as the push for AFF over staticline began. It probably has more to do with the invention of ZP material, but it seems like quite the coincidence to me."If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mangiapane85 0 #4 July 8, 2010 Thanks alot for the quick, knowledgeable response. Since you brought up gear, are there any RELIABLE places that offer used gear? If not, I don't wanna risk it with an unknown seller. And also, I realize this is a foolish question and I most likely couldve found the answer by searching further, but, what is PLF? I know it's something to do with the landing. But what's the acronym stand for? Thanks again. Edit: To the last poster; Thats what i was thinking as well. The DZ where im going charges 160 for the first IAD jump, which includes the 4 hours jump school. Then its only 76 bucks for every jump afterwards up until the coaching phase of the licensing process. Seems much less expensive than aff. And i definitely agree about the advantage of being able to focus on canopy control because from what ive gathered, thats the trickiest and possibly the most dangerous part of it all. And lastly, disregard the plf question. I found out what it means.-FEAR IS TEMPORARY...REGRET IS FOREVER! -"People living deeply have no fear of death"- Anais Nin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrewwhyte 1 #5 July 8, 2010 Don't worry about gear yet. You will be jumping their gear for a while. Most IAD based DZs need packers. If you are keen and don't mind hanging around you can probably help pay for your course by packing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peek 21 #6 July 8, 2010 QuoteIt [IAD or Static Line] doesn't get you to the license as quick as aff but it's much more cost effective... Actually that depends on the particular dropzone's facilities, equipment, and staff availability. And it depends on what you mean by "quicker". Calendar time? Freefall time? There are a lot of variables. In the end of course, it is what you are willing to pay for and do. They are all good. Have fun learning! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am willing to do whatever it takes to totally immerse myself in this. Ive literally been dreaming about it for a while now. I can't imagine what it'll be like after i actually jump. lol Thanks again guys. edit: Peek, i was referring to calendar time. I realize there's very limited free fall time with the IAD for the first several jumps.-FEAR IS TEMPORARY...REGRET IS FOREVER! -"People living deeply have no fear of death"- Anais Nin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #8 July 8, 2010 "... what is PLF?" ...................................................................... Parachute Landing Fall ... sort of like a judo roll, except you keep your arms tucked in close to your sides. PF was invented during World War Two (Ringway, UK) as a means of reducing landing injuries to paratroopers landing under round parachutes. Since modern square parachutes land a lot softer, many civilian schools teach vastly simplified versions of PLFs, however, the basics remain the same: feet and knees together, eyes on the horizon and prepare to roll. A good PLF includes all seven points of contact: balls of the feet, calves, thighs, buttocks and diagonally across the back. Whether your hands are held high or low depends upon which type of parachute you are jumping. Which gets us to a reminder that you only learn a little off the internet, and you would be far wiser to listen carefully to local instructors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your question has been answered several times before on these forums, but the main point is that all deals involving second-hand parachutes should include a full inspection - by a Master Parachute Rigger - before money changes hands.

Welcome to the "club" That was almost exactly my experience as a S/L progression student over 30 years ago, when that was the only method used. Lots of unstable 5 & 10 second delays. By the time the brain & body have had several seconds in freefall to settle down, it's pull time, so there's no reinforcement of stable fall. With all the door fear and sensory overload experienced by students, relaxing is the last thing they can do, so merely telling them "relax" and then having them repeat short delays is useless to the point of stupid. It's worse than useless; it enhances the student's discouragement. After my first couple of hop & pops after getting off the S/L, some AFF-type jumps would have been just what I needed. That's why, to this day, I think a hybrid program (maybe 1 tandem; a few SL or IAD & a first freefall h&p, then transition over to AFF) is the way to go.
