Mauro Calderon 0 #1 Posted April 13, 2019 What is the speed that takes the drop off a tandem or how is the wing charge calculated between the two people in the tandem and the cameraman? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,462 #3 April 13, 2019 Drogue fall is normal belly speed, on average. About 120 mph (a bit under 200 kmh). The drogue slows the tandem pair down to 'normal' speeds. That's done for safety, as tandem terminal has a tendency to blow up canopies and hurt jumpers. The fact that it makes it easier for the camera flyer is just a side benefit. Under canopy is not an issue, the camera flyer and tandem pair need to be a safe distance apart. The camera flyer also has to get down first to film the landing.
