Welcome to "License Requirements & Benefits", or "What?
There's still more to this Skydiving thing?"
The first step in your Skydiving career is to obtain your 'A' License. This qualifies you to pack and use your own parachute (more commonly called 'rig'), and is the next step to having even more fun as you build on your existing skills. Of course, once you're using your own equipment, jump prices drop dramatically because you are no longer paying for rig hire or instruction. Jump prices then generally range from between $30 and $40 per jump. As you progress in your Skydiving career, you train for the next level of license which has certain requirements and benefits.
Click on the various license types on the left to see a table below
which briefly details the requirements and benefits for each license (the table is intended only as a guide and not a substitute to the published APF Operational Regulations - contact the APF to obtain an official copy of the Operational Regulations booklet).
