Blahr 0 #1 May 29, 2003 Hi Folks, Can anyone point me to a simple chart that graphs simple freefall times? ie: Exit at 13,500ft and pull at 3000ft = X seconds freefall Obviously there can be no difinitive answers as fall rates vary for a lot of reasons. I, myself, happen to fall like a block of neutronium and thus have to wear a circus tent to do RW I'm just looking for average times for average fall rates. Thanks, Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlmiracle 7 #2 May 29, 2003 Its in the back of your log book - if you bought a real log book, it should be in the back of it. Should list 2-3 different "fall rates" along with the different altitudes. JudyBe kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

jlmiracle 7 #4 May 29, 2003 Of course, they need to change the chart and add a couple averages for freeflying. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 35 #6 May 29, 2003 There's also a cool freefall time calculator that you can download to help you add up all your times. Sure does make it easier when you don't do it for a long time. I just added time for 150 jumps last weekend! Do a search on the forums for it, I got it off here a while ago.

There was a 206 as well back in that day flown by a guy named Jake. Is he still around? yup, both with 300 hp engines and wingtips upgraded props (3 blade... longer). Jake was gone before i started in aug '98, i never met him. The second pilot now is Greg, a glider instructor in real life (can you have a better person in case of an engine out?)... kickass pilot and a hell of a guy to party with.
