This is the best way to go IMO. Probably costs the most but it's the safest.  |
This is your best bet. Although here we do give the option of vertical wind tunnel during the 5 hours of ground instruction. Some of the students have enjoyed the wind tunnel, and it aided them in stabilzation once out of the bird.
Depending on the the instuctors, the wind tunnel may be mandatory with an additional cost. It seems to vary from USPA facility to another.
In a nutshell TS gives the easiest way to start the AFF program to advance to the USPA "A" license. Eventually she'll be doing unassisted AFF dives.
