Safe Return to Active Skydiving

Recurrency Requirements After a Break from Skydiving

A safe return to active skydiving requires a proper refresh of the knowledge and skills acquired during your skydiving training. This table outlines the minimum recurrency requirements following a break from skydiving, based on your AFF category or licence level and the time elapsed since your last jump.

The requirements may include emergency procedure drills, a harness test, a coach check dive, additional ground training, or repeating specific AFF categories. The purpose of these procedures is to ensure that every skydiver possesses the necessary knowledge and skills to safely resume skydiving activities after an extended period away from the sport.
