- Landing Pattern – Landing Approach Simulation - by Alexander Shyrokov
Landing Pattern is an interactive computer simulation program for ram-air parachutes. It is similar to
flight simulators, such as Microsoft Flight Simulator. One can fly a landing approach of a parachute in
different wind conditions. Currently only Skydive New England is available in
the simulation as a virtual drop zone, but more will be added in the future.
