Break off altitude doing downplane

the lowest I have seen was "recovery arc" :o



Going from break-off directly to flaring the landing is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. You only get one chance to get it right. :S

Zero feet, and we impacted on a concrete runway - not recommended!

Safe breakoff height depends on canopy choice, wind conditions, your orientation to the windline immediately before breakoff, other traffic in the circuit and the skill/experience of the canopy pilots.

Although skydivers will appreciate the difference between a breakoff at 400’ and one at 100’, most members of the public won’t. Keep it high and safe; take it from someone who knows!

Pete.
