ZigZagMarquis 9 #27 July 21, 2005 Breakoff??? Ah! Somewhere before IMPACT! ... but seriously... I wind up organizing a lot of loads... 2-Ways to 20-Ways... folks with 100 to 200 jumps to folks with 4000ish jumps... I've pretty much gone to a 4.5K break-off no matter what the number-way... might bump it up or stage it on the larger-ways... I've got my Dytter set at 4.5K and haven't changed it in I can't tell you how long... if its a smaller way with some of my more experienced buddies and its going well, I'll stick with turning points through the end of my Dytter's alarm at 4.5K vice splitting when it starts going off... take that for what its worth, my 2 cents... works for me.

RichardR 0 #28 August 4, 2005 Wow! I'm amazed at how many replies you got. That's great. I'm sure you have had plenty of advice by now, but one more can't hurt. I personally like to have 1500 feet between my planned breakoff altitude and minimum planned pull altitude (for 4-way). I'm comfortable pulling at 2K, so I wish to break off by 3500. If you like to pull at 3k, maybe a break off at 4,500 is best for you. The altitude for tracking should be expanded if you have something bigger than a 4-way. If your new team puts you at an altitude (after sufficient tracking) that you are uncomfortable with, and they are unwilling to change it, find a new team. Anxiety in the air is no fun. Best of luck to you.Richard Rothery Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
