Skydive course for beginners
Fallskärmsklubben Aros offers a modern form of parachute training, AFF. You will learn what you need to know about the parachute, how to control, land, and pack it. You will practice exits and body positions in free fall, and gain knowledge about safety, aerodynamics, and weather.
All courses take place at Johannisbergs airfield on the outskirts of Västerås, where we jump all year round. For more information, read our FAQ.
Age and health
The minimum age for parachute jumping is 15 years. If you are under 18, you must have parental consent. You must be in good health, which means you should not suffer from any epileptic condition or have serious respiratory diseases.
Before you can jump, you need a health certificate to be filled out on a specific form. The medical examination is scheduled independently and must be completed before the first parachute jump. Note: The medical examination is not included in the course fee.
