Wind drift calculator online

Recommended Posts

Hey, where is that wind drift calculator online where you can type in what type of groups get int the plane, what altitude they exit at, when they pull, what the wind is honking at-THEN get a great animated show of what will happen?

Thats not the one, thanks for trying though. It gives you the ability to put in your fields yourself such as number of people in the group, Free flyers, belly flyers and so on. Then there is a graph (kinda) with a plane above and a dotted line showing where everyones path goes to.

Holy cow I just realized I replied to TOM!!! Hi:) I was so glad when you talked about that drift calculator at the saftey meeting. I really thought you were talking about the other one that John found. Now John has to go look for it again. It's actually a bit more in depth from what I remember than the one on that link you left. But thanks for posting so fast:):):)

OK, you made me dig out the search engine and find the interactive freefall drift chart. I think the one you are talking about can be found at http://www.iit.edu/~kallend/skydive/
