the drop altitude. Common values for an opening
altitude range from 2,000 to 6,000 feet AGL.
Static jumps require a drop altitude of at least 1,000
feet to be specified. A constant wind speed and
direction for the duration of the jump is assumed.
For HAHO and HALO jumps, wind speeds and
directions can be entered for every 1,000 feet of
canopy drift (CD) and every 2,000 feet of free fall
drift (FFD). These wind speeds are entered on the
Wind Setup page by selecting the
Wind
button.
Forward Throw
and
Course to HARP
allow a user
to determine the direction and magnitude the aircraft
will carry the user after jumping and before free fall
or canopy drift begins.
A number of additional constants are entered on the
Constant Setup page by selecting
Constant
.
A check box at the bottom allows for auto-navigation
to the DIP. If you want your GPSMAP76CSx to
determine when you have jumped, this box should
be checked. A message appears describing how to
manually navigate the route.
Selecting the
Goto HARP
button begins the
navigation process and takes you to Wind Setup. If
Wind Setup information is missing, the GPSMAP
76CSx automatically sets up the route with the
calculated HARP and the selected DIP before taking
you to the Navigation page.
