Wind speeds are measured in knots and directions
are based on origination of wind. This information
is usually based on data collected from National
Oceanographic & Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) or by a drop zone support team leader
(DZSTL) who monitors the course of a Pilot Balloon
(PiBal) released from the ground at the DIP and wind
streamers dropped from aircraft.
Jumpmaster is capable of handling doglegs in wind
direction.
Select
Clear All
from the Options Menu of this page
to clear the list of wind speeds and directions. Wind
speeds and directions must be entered as a pair to be
valid. Those pairs left as “_ _ _” will be ignored in
calculations.
Constant Setup
The Constant Setup allows you to fine-tune certain
aspects of the planned jump.
Constant Setup
All jump types also can use a
Percent Max
to
increase or decrease the range or their jump. Entries
less than 100% decrease drift distance to the DIP
while those greater than 100% increase drift distance.
More experienced jumpmasters may choose to use
smaller numbers while those less experienced may
use larger numbers.
