Jumpmaster

Jumpmaster is an accessory designed for experienced

skydivers. A jumpmaster is the individual in charge

of a group of skydivers coordinating a group or

cargo drop. A list of abbreviations and acronyms for

Jumpmaster settings can be found on

page 81

.

To access the Jumpmaster:

On the Setup Menu Page, highlight the

Jumpmaster icon, and press ENTER.

The Jumpmaster follows military guidelines for

calculating a jumpmaster’s high altitude release point

(HARP). This accessory can auto-detect when you

have jumped to begin navigating toward the desired

impact point (DIP) using the barometer and electronic

compass.
You can set the Jumpmaster to one of three types of

jumps: HAHO, HALO, or Static. The jump type

selected determines what additional setup information is

required. For all jump types, altitudes (drop or opening)

are measured in feet above ground level (AGL).

To set the type of jump:

1. Highlight the

Jump Type field, and press

Enter to view the list of jump options.

2. Select the jump type, and press

Enter. The

page changes to display options for the

selected jump type setup.

A desired impact point (DIP) must be set for all

jumps. This is a waypoint that you have previously

marked or another location from the Find Menu where

you want to land.
