    Haha! Ok, so now that we have that cleared up, I have to ask a really dumb question... why does the elevation matter? I mean, my alt is set based on ground level, so is it just in how high AGL the plane will go, or...? What am I forgetting/missing here?

    Thanks!




    Density Altitude is the official term.

    ******Keep in mind that both these DZ are way above Mean Sea Level.




    Not exactly true. Lake Elsinore CA is at an elevation of 1296 ft. Perris Valley is at 1414 ft. Neither are considered to be high altitude DZs.

    Which are both a little lower than SDAZ where the poster is from. :)
    Have fun in SoCal!

    That is why I deleted my post the first 5 minutes in. I was thinking ..... Hey, Eloy is HIGHER than Perris, she will be fine .... duh .... :S

    During his first jump, the goggles over this AFF student's glasses come loose.
    Student takes his glasses off, folds it (the temples?), hands them to one of the jumpmasters, puts his goggles back on and continues with his jump (practice pulls).



    Sounds like he/she will make a great freeflier ..... ;)
