dthames 0 #1 January 21, 2014 I am posting this for some of the would be and beginning WS pilots that are hungry for anything related to wingsuiting that might be helpful. Saturday was pretty windy and I only made one flight, which was a solo. I fly a lightly loaded main, so on windy days I need to deploy well upwind of the landing area. The uppers were 40+ as well, so this would be "fun". The wind in the morning was something like 35+ all the way down to 200 feet. Even with better conditions in the afternoon, I was still concerned about the winds in the 1500-3500 foot range. My navigation was not "textbook", partly because of the strong upper winds from the west. But I did deploy where I had planned and stayed well away from the other jumpers. I selected my deployment point on the map and picked a place that I could spot easily. Before exit, I made sure I knew where we were relative to the landing area. Here are my notes and data.
