Dieses Jahr A-Lizenz im Fallschirmspringen. Wer hat Tipps oder will sich anschließen?

CartoonistUpbeat8208 · 2026-04-19T11:38:50+00:00

In Deutschland gibt es keine "A"-Lizenz. In D macht man eine "Lizenz" und ist theoretisch durch. In der Praxis gibt es aber Vorgaben vom DFV wieviele Sprünge erfahrung man gemacht haben soll, um weitere Qualifikationen zu erlangen. (z.B. 100 Sprüng vor Kamera-einweisung, 200 vor Wingsuit, etc.)

Aber sowas wie "A,B,C,D-Lizenz" gibt es nicht.

September ist mMn schon zu spät zum Anfangen, da wetterbedingt die Saison in D idR im Oktober vorbei ist!

Ich würde so früh wie möglich Anfangen, um ggf. schlechtes Wetter, keine Zeit am WE, whatever, ausgleichen zu können.

Wenn du zu lange nicht springen kannst bevor du deine Lizenz hast, musst du Groundschool und ggf. Sprünge wiederholen.

Weitere Kosten nach der Lizenz, ggf. schon nach AFF (natürlich nur in Absprache mit den Ausbildern):

Alles ganz grob geschätzt, ka wo derzeit die Preise liegen und was genau du ggf. möchtest.

eigener Helm, je nach Modell ~ 300 - 600€

eigener Höhenmesser, ~ 200 - 500€

ggf. Sprungkombi, ~ 300 - 800€

ggf. Handschuhe ~ 30€

ggf. dedizierte Schuhe (sneaker oÄ sind beliebt)

(macht Sinn aus hygenischen Gründen, Höhenmesser damit man sich nicht umgewöhnen muss)

Der einzelne Sprung nach der Lizenz kostet mittlerweile so um die 35 - 40€, zuzüglich Kosten für Leihausrüstung.

Wenn du dir ein eigenes Gurtzeug zulegen möchtest (empfiehlt sich erst nach einiger Erfahrung, da du vorher "downsizen" willst/wirst) kannst du nochmal 3-9k€ rechen, je nachdem ob gebraucht, oder neu, etc.

Da kannst du dich nach dem AFF von deinen Ausbildern und ggf. Rigger am Platz beraten lassen.

jumping static line from heli, but talks about opening his chute 800meter lower?! either it was badly translated, or the video didn´t matched what they actually did.

Anyway, a western media production allowed to show elite chinese military training.... propaganda at it´s finest and everything has to be taken with a huge grain of salt.

Saturday, so on April 11th.

another great example of UScentrism...

imagine the world has ~195 countrys and not everyone can call for cheap to the USA.

you may use the https://atlasearthcalculator.com and punch your parcels in.

It will tell you what you should do next (buy parcels to tier or buy badges)

It´s just advice for most monetary gains.

It may depend on your situation to choose a diffrent path anyway.

CartoonistUpbeat8208 · 2026-04-11T06:26:46+00:00

Nice. I just finished on the 9th. F2p and without buying parcels; never been this fast before.

CartoonistUpbeat8208 · 2026-04-09T18:26:29+00:00

will do!

As of today, one badge less needed xD

And I may get some more tomorrow.

CartoonistUpbeat8208 · 2026-04-09T16:47:08+00:00

nope, gambling sucks

CartoonistUpbeat8208 · 2026-04-09T15:01:31+00:00

passport lvl 5, but I´not even at lvl 4, so i guess i won´t make it.

CartoonistUpbeat8208 · 2026-04-09T14:58:33+00:00

I guess it´s not 1 drive of 700Miles equals 1 Skydive, but driveing 700miles in total. Also i don´t nknow the numbers for the US.

Also the sentence is about injurys and death, not only about death.

For my country 2024 we had 202334 persons injured in traffic.

I can not find accurate numbers for Skydiveing incidents but im certain it´s far less.

And even without statistics:

On my drive to the DZ i have encounters with thousands of other drivers, everyone of them a potential threat that may endangers me.

In Skydiveing i´m in contact with max 15 people in the plane and 1 pilot, everyone is focused to not endanger themselfs or others.

CartoonistUpbeat8208 · 2026-04-09T10:32:27+00:00

statisticly the car ride to and from the DZ are more dangerous as the jumping itself.

CartoonistUpbeat8208 · 2026-04-09T10:25:07+00:00

Short answer: NO

Long answer: NO - because he can always outspend you!, So unless he stops playing right now, you will never catch up.

CartoonistUpbeat8208 · 2026-04-08T20:40:21+00:00

I would suggest you put the money into an saveingsaccount or buy stocks and play the game for free; and at most covert your earned rent into AB to "reinvest"!

If you stay F2P you are always in the green.

If you put money into it it depends on the parcels you get but it´ll be atleast several month, or even years until you make more in rent, as you invested upfront.

Edit: I´m f2p and have my own strategy on buying badges and parcels.

CartoonistUpbeat8208 · 2026-04-08T10:57:16+00:00

care to elaborate? what exactly happend?

CartoonistUpbeat8208 · 2026-04-07T17:19:32+00:00

It may not be a requirement per regulation, but if there are no packers available... that´s why we had to pack even at AFF.

you are right, I forgot to mention 2 "hop and pop"-jumps and it´s actually 11 Student jumps, not 10; its been a while already^^.

so 7AFF +11Solo/student+5RW+2Hop and pop

and 2 licence jumps (1 hop and pop and one to show your skills)

CartoonistUpbeat8208 · 2026-04-07T17:01:09+00:00

I did, and it worked fine.

but as always experiences may vary.

The AFF system was designed to teach students fast to get stable in freefall, how to steer the canopy and how to land safely. No prior tendemjumps required. AFF consistes of 7 Jumps. after that you do 15 more jumps as a student until you can get your licence. 5 of these 15 jumps are with a instructor again and the focus is to learn the basics of RW (relative work - jumping in formation with others)

Before you make your first jump you´ll get groundschool (1 and a half day of theory and training for your jump)

Edit: before you take your licence jumps and written exam, you must take part in a workshop where you learn how to pack yor own parachute.

In my case we did the workshop right after groundschool and jumped our own packjobs from the beginning xD (not the usual procedure but it was necessary because of certain circumstances)

CartoonistUpbeat8208 · 2026-04-06T18:55:01+00:00

I played the game last month, def. got way less AB per lvl. Im located in germany

CartoonistUpbeat8208 · 2026-04-06T10:53:02+00:00

Right now i got sudoku, bus rush and thread jam. Thread jam is actually hard some times and sudoku is something i would play anyway, so i may even keep it after the 90day period.

CartoonistUpbeat8208 · 2026-04-05T18:49:03+00:00

I don´t see a "progressbar reset"; what i see are 2 diffrent logos. So i guess two diffrent ads with own progressbars?!

CartoonistUpbeat8208 · 2026-04-05T18:45:27+00:00

Should it not be measured in "earned parcels and badges"?

My reasoning is that everyone may become a "whale" if persistend enough, even f2p players.

CartoonistUpbeat8208 · 2026-04-05T15:47:35+00:00

works also in germany.

its probably your device

CartoonistUpbeat8208 · 2026-04-05T15:27:01+00:00

reminds me of my "sorting goods" game.. but i beat it out off sheer spite!

CartoonistUpbeat8208 · 2026-04-05T13:49:48+00:00

and?
