Flight limitations:
• Never fly below the airfield takeoff elevation
• Always go above 1500 feet (450 meters), for
Tandems 3000 feet ( 900 meters)
• If dropzone offset has been adjusted, never fly
below the intended DZ elevation
Failure to observe these limitations can cause injury or death..
in turbine aircraft, as the pilot is concentrating on
max airspeed, and typical aircraft VSI instruments
are heavily damped and “peg” at 3,000 ft./minute.
Note: in the case of Student CYPRES, always
make sure the jumpmaster has switched them off
prior to descent in ANY aircraft.
Note: in the case of WSC on board:
Once you have overflown 2000 feet and thereafter
descent with less than approx. 8,5 m/s but
more than 2.5 m/s for more than 10
seconds (may vary on user’s set-
tings) in the
range of between approx. 6500 feet and approx.
1500 feet above the ground and have WSC users
on board you might trigger their units to change
from Wing Suit Status to Canopy Status. That does
not apply for the first 500 feet which you descend.
Inappropriate descend rate can result in unintended
reserve activation, causing serious damages or
even plane crash. When descending with WSC users
on board, do not exceed 3500 feet/min vertical below
2000 feet.
