mountainman 0 #1 September 30, 2001 Hey all.......just a question for all of you who use a Pro Track. Everytime that I have jumped with someone who uses a Pro Track, their exit altitude is always a couple hundred feet lower than what I had on my alti. Now, this didn't happen only once, but a LOT of times.It seems that to me (I'm no expert) that maybe it is starting its reading after a few hundred feet because when you exit you are not losing altitude vertically. Does that make sense??I'm just wondering if this happens with everybody or do you not even use your wrist alti now that you have your AA?? --------------Brandon Wren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aviatrr 0 #2 September 30, 2001 The exit altitude typically matches my Digitude altimeter, but my digitude normally reads different(by a few hundred feet) than most other peoples altimeters....but it normally agrees with the aircraft altimeter(my DZ is at sea level).. The deployment altitude is normally 700ft lower than I actually pull.. I think the ProTrack senses the rate of descent, and when it drops below a certain level, it calls it your deployment altitude.. Maybe it's meant to show the approximate altitude you get under canopy? That's what mine normally shows....around 2100-2300.. I pull at 3k..Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybird 0 #3 October 1, 2001 altimeters can have a variance at altitude +\- a couple of hundred feet. i have noticed my alti being 200 feet off of someone else on same load. jaybird Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff 0 #4 October 1, 2001 I'd really be impressed if they generally agreed within 200ft!. Look around at the other altis on the plane, and you'll see variations of at least 500ft once you're at 12000ft or so AGL.Geoff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk 2 #5 October 1, 2001 he he i dont even look at mine at 14000 i got a 32 000 ft one so at 14000 it just sits in d middle of nowherei live my life 14000 ft at a time, nothen else matters, in that 60 seconds or less im free Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess that Laura and my altimeter are always within 100ft of each others. true there are others that are maybe older and might be a bit off compared to mine, but i was just wondering if that may be the reason. AND, for the same reasont that Mike said.Just curious --------------Brandon Wren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
