vertical speed following 360 turns

[lrozyn 0]

Hi,

I am flying a 170 spectre at 1,45 wing load

Upon 360 and 450 turns on altitude below 800 ft I tend to loose ca 500 ft of altitude

The speed of the decent is what concerns me - I have a vigil 2 AAD which activates at 35 m/s
I wonder whether it is possible that I come close to AAD activation speed of decent which may result in reserve deployment

Has anyone come across any articles which may indicate what are the decent rates for specific wing loads/canopies at 360/450 turns?

Cheers

normally you shouldn't come close to those speeds on such a canopy with your wingloading.

the people who are flirting with these speeds are flying faster canopies (faster profiles) and higher wingloadings (2+)

nevertheless any AAD can fail.

Isn't there some logging possible with the vigil? See which speeds it has logged.
But do not worry. You are not in the dangerzone with that canopy and that wingloading.
