Would my AAD have worked in this situation?

Recommended Posts

So i just bought a Tony Supermach and did my first jump on it this past weekend. I was curious of my total flight time after i got down so i went into the info section of my Vigil 2 and its telling me that on the last flight i had 2 seconds of freefall and my vertical speed was 44mph. Does the AAD deactiveate itself after the registered freefall is over? Once i saw that the AAD only registered those two seconds i was curious as to if i had a cutaway above that 1000ft mark would the AAD still fire even though it thinks the freefall ended a few minutes before that? Thanks in advance for the replys!

AADs have an activation speed of 78 mph at an altitude of 750ft,
Regardless of deployments or whatever else happens before.

to be a bit more precise,

3.3.1. “PRO” Mode
The Vigil® releases at 840 Ft. (256 meters) and below till 150 Ft. (46 meters),
if the freefall speed is equal or superior to 35 m/sec. (78 mph or 126 km/h)*

Yup, it has nothing to do with a wingsuit. People have been doing high (and low) hop n pops, which equate to short freefalls and long canopy rides, long before wingsuits came around.
