Squeak 17 #27 October 10, 2005 Quote Besides the all this good advice, + contacting local airports etc... Does anybody use or think it could be reliable to use one of those hand held portable wind meters? eg. ("Kestrel wind meter") Maybe not as the only source, but as an on the D.Z. last minute check. they use on at my old DZ, but you need to ad 25% to it, as wind speeds drop close to the ground. so a reading of 12knots would be 15knots, and therefore above students for APF Op Regs.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
