  1. yeah, I'm aware about the hip mounts ... just not sure about it ... at that point I would personally prefer to concentrate more carefully on the ground that is closing on me rather then hip mount alti ... i dono ... are there more point of vews on that topic from other swoopers?
  2. For the initial set up, I use wrist digital. Lower then 1300 (my first canopy audible alarm), I switch to audio and visual. Only if in doubt for the audible signal or/and visuals I double-check with wrist digital alti. My personal experience tells me that the closer I get to the point of turn initiation the less time there is to look at wrist alti. There are just too many things to do just before the turn: last traffic check, locate right place for turn to make the gates, keep constant visual with the ground, locate front risers …
  3. "Landable" and "jumpable" do have two different meanings in the content of the accident since its was not a landing issue. RIP
