Altitrack - deployment altitude

Recommended Posts

Question to AltiTrack owners: how does it calculate deployment altitude?

Is it the altitude when you start decelerating (canopy begins inflating)? Or the device is smart enough to take that that extra time into account when you actually throw out the pilot chute?

Thanks.

I'm guessing that it's based simply on your rate of descent with a different threshold for each jump type. I don't think there any correction in there. The number is closer to the inflation altitude than pilot chute deployment.
