To access the Jumpmaster:
On the Setup Menu Page, highlight the
Jumpmaster icon, and press Enter.
You can set the Jumpmaster to
one of three types of jumps:
HAHO, HALO, or Static. The
jump type selected determines
what additional setup
information is required. For all
jump types, altitudes (drop or
opening) are measured in feet
above ground level (AGL).
To set the type of jump:
1. Highlight the Jump Type field, and press
Enter to view the list of jump options.
2. Select the jump type, and press Enter. The
page changes to display options for the
selected jump type setup.
A desired impact point (DIP) must be set for all
jumps. This is a waypoint that you have previously
marked or another location from the Find Menu where
you want to land.
To select an impact point:
1. Highlight the Desired Impact Point field and
press Enter to view the Find Menu.
2. Select the desired point from a list of waypoints,
or from one of the other Find Menu options.
A drop altitude of at least 1,000 feet must be specified
next. Jumpmaster uses the drop altitude as the
opening altitude for HAHO jumps while HALO and
Static jumps contain a separate field for this feature.
Common values for a drop altitude range from
12,000-24,000 feet AGL.
For HALO jumps, the required information is the
same as the HAHO jump type, plus an opening
altitude. This altitude may not be a larger value than
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.
