Jumpmaster is an accessory designed for experienced
skydivers. A jumpmaster is the individual in charge
of a group of skydivers coordinating a group or
cargo drop. A list of abbreviations and acronyms for
jumpmaster settings can be found on page 79.
The Jumpmaster follows military guidelines for
calculating a Jumpmaster’s high altitude release point
(HARP). This accessory can auto-detect when you
have jumped to begin navigating toward the desired
impact point (DIP) using the barometer and electronic
compass.
