ACCELERATED
FREEFALL (AFF)
Temporary
Not Available At This Time!
Learn
to skydive and experience the thrill
of 60 seconds free-fall on your very
first jump. Undoubtedly the best way
you can learn to skydive
Having learned
the skills of free-fall and flying
your parachute, you exit the aircraft
with two instructors actually holding
on to you, just to make sure everything
goes to plan. After you deploy your
parachute by 4,000ft you will fly
through the sky to your landing area.
This form of jumping is not for the
faint hearted. This method will have
you attending a 6 - 8 hours minimum
of ground school, go through the ground
practical exercises of the actual
jump and thereafter, a need to pass
an oral and practical test before
being allowed to board the plane for
that first jump.
This method of jumping consists of
2 AFF Instructors holding on to your
left and right side. The Instructors
job is to ensure that you are stable,
guide you through from the exit from
the plane till the time you pull your
parachute. Thereafter, an instructor
on the ground will guide you on the
transceiver from your canopy flight
until you land.

Frequent
Ask Questions Skydiving
is not just a sport, it's a lifestyle
You
are now at skydiving FAQ's? Want to
get some background of what is skydiving
are all about? Look no further, you'll
find all the facts right here. Let browse
the Q&A step by step to give yourself
a better view and understand of the
sport.
Check out the information on this site.
Not surprisingly, beginners have a lot
of questions about the sport of skydiving.
Although they will not be completely
covered here, we will try to address
some of the more common questions about
skydiving.
Jump
out of a perfectly flow
airplane? It is really a
lot of fun. This page describes
how to go about making your
first jump from a perfectly
good airplane. Decide on
the training method. There
is more than one way to
make your first jump. You
can make a Tandem jump,
Solo Static Line (S/L) or
Instructor Assisted Deployment
(IAD) and Accelerated Freefall
(AFF) jump. Each method
has its own costs and particulars.
Some involve a First Jump
Course (FJC) which is about
4 hours long; others involve
only a 30-60 minute briefing.
Some involve freefall on
the first jump, others do
not. And some involve a
solo canopy descent where
you alone fly the parachute
to the ground with ground-to-air
radio assistance. Find some
friends to go with you.
It'll be more fun to go
with a group. Set a date.
You know how it goes...
If you set a date in advance
you'll be more likely to
follow through and make
your first jump. Plan ahead.
And let Ballzaction know
you're coming. Go! You will
have so much fun! [top]
About
the course? You
must be a qualified member
of Flying Club in Malaysia
in able to jump. The course
covers all subjects necessary
to successfully complete
your first jump. Our ultimate
aim is to give you a sound
background and knowledge
level to allow you to continue
and complete the full training
program and become a thoroughly
qualified parachutist. You
will be taught in a very
friendly environment with
a little good sense of humor.
[top]
Are
the instructor qualified?
The
Instructors and Jumpmasters
are all qualified and certified
by Malaysia Aviation
authority
and International Skydiving
Organization,
who is the governing body
for the sport. Each of them
has accumulated more than
thousand of jumps and have
been in the sport for more
than 20 years!
[top]
What
is skydiving? Skydiving
is a descent made from an
aeroplane from a jumpable
altitude. Before boarding
the aircraft, skydivers
first have to inspect the
equipment that they are
going to use to ensure safety.
They must have 2 parachutes
in one container (bag).
The first one is the main
parachute and the other
one is used for emergency
purposes called the rescue
parachute. The jump master
will plan the load of the
jump (sortie planning) where
the skydivers are suppose
to follow. While on the
ground, they then practice
the exit they're going to
do while on the air.
The jumpers will board the
aircraft until jump height
in between 4,000 to 10,000
(depending on the discipline
of courses you undergo).
The jumpmaster will spot
the DZ during a jump run.
Once given the command,
they then step out of the
aircraft and execute the
exit using their planned
maneuvers. They then fall
at approximately 120 to
150 mph (for a freefall).
Once they're flying at about
4,900 ft., the group then
separate from one another
and deploy their canopy.
As for SL or IAD, the moment
you left the aircraft, the
parachute will open immediately/automatically.
As it opens, air enters
inside it and it takes the
shape of a canopy. All it
takes is about 3 to 5 seconds.
The jumpers then controls
the parachute's by using
the toggles to the landing
area.
Pulling one toggle will
fly you to the left or right.
Upon reaching the ground
pilled both toggles to slow
the rate of descent and
forwards speed of the jumper
simultaneously. When the
skydiver is about to land,
he flares the parachute
to achieve good forward
speed and pull both toggles
upon landing or roll themselves
in a forward manner to avoid
further injury. You will
be surprise that you can
perform stand up landing
even on your first jump!
[top]
Is
It Safe?
Ahhh...
a much better question.
All of the equipment used
at Sky Diving Centre is
serviced and maintained
by certified riggers of
the highest ratings. The
parachutes are packed by
professionals, the reserves
packed and repacked even
if unused (it's not only
a good idea, it's the law).
Although an inherently dangerous
sport, just as driving a
car is an inherently dangerous
activity (you did know that,
right?), we take every precaution
to assure your safety while
on our drop zone. Do you
drive with bad brakes and
bald tires? So, the short
answer is that the sport
of skydiving has been made
as safe as possible. And
at Sky Diving Centre, there
take every precaution possible
before, during, and after
your skydive. [top]
What
does the training consist
of?
Ballzaction
provides the student with
local Sky Diving School
for every thing you need
to know to safely make their
first jump. There are several
different programs available
for first jumpers; the one
you choose will depend on
your personal preferences
and circumstances. The differences
of each are summarized below:
Static Line (SL) or Instructor
Assisted Deployment (IAD)
This
method has evolved over
the last ~30 years from
its military origins into
a successful method for
training sport parachutists.
The student gets 4-5 hours
of ground training and is
then taken to an altitude
of about 3,000 feet for
the jump. The jump itself
consists of a simple "poised"
exit from the strut of a
small single engine Cessna
aircraft. As the student
falls away from the plane,
the main canopy is deployed
by a "static line"
attached to the aircraft.
The student will experience
about two to three seconds
of falling as the parachute
opens.
Accelerated
Free Fall (AFF)
The
AFF program was instituted
in 1982 as an "accelerated"
learning process as compared
to the traditional static
line progression. The AFF
program will give you a
true taste of modern sport
skydiving from level 1 to
level 9 over a period of
3 days (minimum).
The ground training is a
bit more extensive than
S/L (~5 hours) because the
student will be doing a
45 second freefall (that's
right!) on his/her very
first jump. The student
will exit the aircraft at
8,000-10,000 feet along
with two AFF Jumpmasters
(JM) who will assist the
student during freefall.
The jumpmasters maintain
grips on the student from
the moment they leave the
aircraft until opening,
assisting the student as
necessary to fall stable,
perform practice ripcord
pulls, monitor altitude,
etc. The student then pulls
his/her own ripcord at about
4000 ft.
Tandem
Jumps
Tandem
jumps are meant to offer
an introduction to the sport.
They allow the neophyte
to "take a ride"
with an experienced jumper.
A tandem jump requires from
15 to 45 minutes of ground
preparation and you will
take to an altitude of 10,000
feet AGL for the thrill
of your life (it is not
a First Jump Course). It
consists of an experienced
jumper called a "tandem
master" and the passenger.
The passenger wears a harness
and the Tandem Master wears
the parachutes. The passenger's
harness is attaches to the
front of the master's harness
and the two of them freefall
together for 30 seconds,
open together, and land
together under one Really_BIG_Parachute.
Tandem jumping provides
an obvious advantage for
the adventurous spirit who
cannot adequately meet the
physical or proficiency
requirements for the S/L
or AFF jumps. By relying
on Tandem Master's skills,
they will still be able
to experience the thrill
of skydiving.
Because the tandem training
is not a First Jump Course,
if you decide to pursue
the sport, you will still
have to attend minimum of
5 Tandem Jumps before you
qualify for a Solo Free
Fall jump.Tandem Jump needs
to be booked in advance
of 2 weeks and minimum of
5 Tandem students required
to commence the jump.
If you and your group of
friend are interested in
Tandem Jump. Please call
and book your jump and pay
deposit in advance with
us. [top]
Trainning
Methods
In
all of these training methods,
students are taught normal
and emergency procedures
for all aspects of the jump
like:
> Introduction to Parachute
> Flight drills
> Emergency drills
> Exit, canopy control,
soft landing and etc.
They are also shown video
and equipment and go over
it so that they understand
how it works.
Nearly all student training
centers now utilize sport
skydiving gear. No more
military surplus stuff.
Students have lightweight
harness/container systems
in aesthetic colors, high
performance canopies designed
for students. No more paraboots
-- students use their own
sport shoes. No more heavy
motorcycle helmets -- students
use lightweight sport helmets..
Ground-to-air radio for
canopy control assistance,
on and on... [top]
What
are the physical requirements?
In
general, the prospective
student should be in reasonably
good physical shape, this
is a sport after all. You
are required to wear a 35
lbs/290 sq.ft. parachute
in size and is made specifically
for students. The rate of
descent is very slow and
it is suitable for jumpers
below 190 lbs.
But seriously, problems
may arise where a prospect
is too heavy (over ~250lbs/
110kg, see below) or if
they have medical conditions,
which may impair them during
the activity. Someone who
experiences fainting spells,
blackouts, or has a weak
heart should not be jumping.
Someone with respiratory
illness may have a problem
due to atmospheric changes
at altitude. The better
your physical condition,
the more you will enjoy
the experience. This being
said, very few people have
medical or physical conditions,
which actually preclude
jumping. You will however,
be required to sign a declaration
of good health.
Most Drop Zones will try
to work with you. If you
have a question, ask them,
and as always, ask your
doctor. You may be surprised
at the relatively few physical
constraints involved.
Concerning weight restrictions,
there are two primary concerns.
First, does the drop zone
have a parachute system,
which you can both legally
use and safely land? Second,
if you are going to be at
the top-end of the safe
weight range for a particular
parachute, are you in relatively
good shape? An imperfect
landing will be much less
likely to injure an athletic
person. If this is unclear,
consider the difference
between a 5'10" linebacker
who weighs 240lbs, and a
5'10" channel surfer
of the same weight. If the
former has a bad landing,
he'll probably brush himself
off and get up. The latter
may very well injure himself
substantially, lacking both
the strength to withstand
landing and coordination
to do a good Parachute Landing
Fall(PLF) [top]
What
are the age requirements? Most
Drop Zones will require
you to be 18 years of age
to do skydive. Some Drop
Zones in some states will
allow 16 year olds to jump
with parental consent. So,
if you are under 16, you
will just have to wait;
take up some odd jobs, and
start saving your money.
Start early, so that we
can groom you to become
Champion.
On the other side, there
is no maximum age. Our eldest
jumper is a 59 year old
man.
Solo Jump - 18 years minimum.
Tandem Jump - 12 years minimum.
(depending on body posture)
Less than 18 years - Written
parent's or guardian's consent
required.
Maximum Weight - 210 lbs
and proportional to height,
age and sex.
Over 50 years - Previous
injuries, current or previous
medical conditions must
be notified to the Course/Chief
Instructor or Tandem Master
prior to commencing a training
course.
Previous injuries and previous
or current medical conditions
must be notified to the
Course Instructor or JumpMaster
prior to commencing a training
course.
[top]
What
if my parachute doesn't
open? Clearly,
this is the most Frequently-Asked-Question
posed by all prospective
jumpers.
By law (FAA regulations),
all intentional parachute
jumps must be made with
a single harness, dual parachute
system with both a main
canopy AND a reserve canopy.
In other words, you have
a second (or spare) canopy
in case the first one fails
to open properly. Instructor
will teach you the drills
over and over again even
on your 10 jumps with us.
[top]
However, it must be noted
that the technology utilized
in today's sport parachuting
equipment is light years
ahead of the old military
surplus gear used in the
'60s and '70s. The canopies
are drastically different
from the classic G.I. Joe
round parachutes. The materials
are stronger, lighter and
last longer, the packing
procedures are simpler,
the deployment sequence
is much more refined, soft
opening and on heading.
[top]
The reserve canopies are
even more carefully designed
and packed. The reserve
parachute must be inspected
and repacked every 120 days
by an DCA rated parachute
Rigger - even if it has
not been used during that
time. [top]
Are
the equipment reliable?
The whole parachute system
that you will be using are
specially made for students
and is maneuverable and
very reliable. Parachutes
are packed by qualified
jumpers and the reserve
by qualified riggers. When
they jump, each student
will have a walkie-talkie
on them and an experience
parachutist will act as
the Target Control Officer
who will assist and direct
you down for a landing on
the prepared landing area.
[top]
There are also additional
safety features employed
to ensure canopy deployment
such as Automatic Activation
Devices (AAD) and Reserve
Static Lines (RSL) which
add still more layers of
safety. [top]
How
fast do I fall?
When
you leave the aircraft,
you are moving horizontally
at the same speed as the
aircraft, typically 90-110MPH.
During the first 10 seconds,
a skydiver accelerates up
to about 115-130MPH straight
down. (A tandem pair uses
a drouge chute to keep them
from falling much faster
than this). It is possible
to change your body position
to vary your rate of fall.
In a standard face-to-earth
position, you can change
your fall rate up or down
a few (10-20) miles per
hour. However, by diving
or "standing up"
in freefall, any experienced
skydiver can learn to reach
speeds of over 160-180MPH.
Speeds of over 200MPH require
significant practice to
achieve. The record freefall
speed, done without any
special equipment, is 321MPH.
Obviously, it is desirable
to slow back down to 110MPH
before parachute opening.
[top]
Once under parachute, decent
rates of 1000ft./min. are
typical. A lighter student
with a bigger canopy may
come down much more slowly,
and, obviously, a heavier
person may have a somewhat
faster decent. Experienced
jumper's can descend (in
normal glide) at up to 1500ft./min.
During radical turns, the
decent rate can go well
over 2000ft./min. [top]
How
hard is the landing?
The canopies used today
bear little resemblance
to the classic round canopies
of years gone by. Today,
nearly all jumpers and jump
schools use "square"
canopies for parachuting.
These canopies are actually
rectangular in shape, and
when open, act like an airplane
wing (or an airfoil). They
are more like gliders than
umbrellas. The
aerodynamics of the square
canopy provides it with
exceptional maneuverability,
allowing the jumpers to
land almost anywhere they
wish. This wing shape also
provides tippy-toe soft
landings for even the novice
jumper. The days of landing
like a sack of flour are
history. Most students land
standing up on their first
jump. As a precaution, instructor
will show you Parachute
Landing Fall (PLF) and drills
on landing on tree and water.[top]
I
wear spectacles / contact
lenses. Will this be a problem?
No
problem. Goggles to fit
over spectacles will be
provided, and these will
securely retain your spectacles
in place. Goggles will also
protect contact lenses and
prevent them from being
displaced. [top]
What
if the weather is bad on
the day of my jump?
All
aviation activity is dependant
on suitable weather conditions.
Parachuting is no exception.
Weather is difficult to
predict, especially more
than 24 hours in advance.
The normal procedure would
be to phone the evening
before or on the morning
your booked to jump to check
the local weather. If necessary,
we would reschedule your
jump. [top]
What
types of jump mostly recommend
for first time jump?
Mostly
we recommend Static Line(SL)
or Instructor Assisted Deployment
(IAD) jump as a first time
jump. In all we believe
that static jump lets you
see what parachuting/skydiving
is all about so that you
can decide if you would
like to carry on in the
sport and if so you can
go ahead with Freefall/Skydiving.
[top]
How
long does it take me to
progress to freefall?
There
is no definite timeframe
as qualification will depend
on the performance of the
jumper during his static
jumps. The jump instructor
will observe whether the
jumpers are able to execute
a good stable exit during
the jump. Obviously we are
targeting a minimum of 5
SL or IAD jumps as a guideline
before you could advance
further. We had experience
a parachutist completing
his 17 jumps before deciding
to advance to progression
freefall/skydiving. Normally
a student would be able
to do his first freefall
on his sixth jumps! [top]
What
do I get upon completing
the course?
You
will be given a certificate
upon graduating. If you
intend to continue jumping,
you are required to obtain
a Parachuting License issued
by the Department of Civil
Aviation Malaysia. This
license which is one time
payment and renewable every
two years with a standard
price and is recognised
internationally. The license
is catogorised into five
classes - from a student
license to a 'D' license.

Do
I have to buy my own gear?
The equipment is very expensive,
in the range of about RM7,000
to RM20,000+. Our advice
is, for your first few jumps,
it is better for you to
rent it from us. Once you
are hooked to the sport
than you can decide to buy
one for yourself. We supply
all parachuting equipment.
Wear casual clothes and
sport shoe or runner boots.
Boots with lacing hook are
NOT suitable. [top]
Where
will the class be held?
The
ground training will be
held at Ballzaction, which

at 2 location:
(1.) Segamat DZ, Johor and
(2.) Bidor DZ, Perak. It
is located about 140km up

BIDOR and head toward Bidor
Town. After the traffic
light turn to the right
and proceeds your journey
