Decision Altitude For Landing Out??

Recommended Posts

I don't do it based on a particular decision altitude,
I do it by continously projecting ahead all the way
down.

One thing I've learned from many (many) out landings
is to think ahead and decide high and land somewhere
reasonable.

One big advantage of learning on round canopies was
that you really *had* to plan ahead.

Also I think a lot of people are not well trained on
canopy flying (I'll forgo this opportunity for a soapbox
rant this time :-) and getting down low and then trying
to do some last minute move on today's sophisticated
gear is unwise.

Projecting ahead takes some practice, but I think it's
worth the effort.
