For HAHO and HALO jumps, wind speeds and

The wind setup must be completed before entering
values for forward throw and course to HARP.
Wind Setup
Wind speeds and directions are added on the Wind
Setup page.
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) monitoring the course of a Pilot Balloon
(PiBal) released from the ground at the DIP and wind
streamers dropped from aircraft once the HARP is
calculated.
Jumpmaster is capable of handling doglegs in wind
direction.
To use the Wind Setup Page:
1. Select
Clear All
from the Option Menu of
this page to clear the list of wind speeds and
directions.
2. Enter wind speeds and directions as a pair to
be valid. Those pairs left blank are ignored in
calculations.
3. Press the
Quit
key to return to the
Jumpmaster Setup Page.
