How loud is an audible?

Scoop,

Do you have 13 jumps and jump with an audible?

Might a make a suggestion?

In order to develope good "skydiver instincts", you MAY want to try setting your beeps for just after break of, just after deployment.

You should be altitude aware and break off BEFORE you hear the beeps. As you turn, your Pro Dytter will let you know you are on track. Same for deployment. You should be reaching back and going through the pull sequence as the Dytter beeps.

Do this for about 100 jumps. That way you are training yourself to rely on you instead of a mechanical device. One day the batteries may die, or the unit may fail. And it would suck to see you waiting for that beep until your other backup device fires.... assuming you have one.

Just a thought.



Good advice. :)

I I am just questioning if I am going to be able to hear the beeps when I am flying with all the wind noise. Does anyone current jump an audible in this configuration?



I can't hear my pro-track on terminal jumps with my current or previous open-faced skydiving helmet. It's set on the "loud" volume setting.

I dont mean to embarass myself by asking a silly question but is there some truth in that? In the same way that by wearing ear defenders you cant hear very loud noises but you can hear someone talking to you? I hope I havent made myself look very silly :D

You can still hear the very loud noises, they just don't hurt. Same with your audible.
People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

There's a lot of noise up there we should be protecting our ears from, like engines and freefall. If you do it over and over, it will eventually take its toll on your hearing. Once you lose your hearing in a certain range, it's gone. You won't get it back. A 120 dcb audible's not too cool either. I wear earplugs and a Mindwarp helmet, with my Pro Dytter tucked into a pocket in the padding that's there for that purpose. I can hear the beeps very nicely, but without the excessive piercing decibels.
