FallinWoman 1 #1 December 30, 2001 Out of curiousitu, what altitude/altitudes do you have your pro-track (or other audible) set for? I can set it for three altitudes, but I am not sure that I want to. What do you do?Thanks!Anne"by stitches, cloth, and cord,...a god of the sky for those immortal moments."-Lindbergh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheMarshMan1 0 #2 December 30, 2001 Break-off altitude, deployment altitude, and the "now or never" altitude (for example: in the event of, say some line twists...that is the altitude that I will quit trying to fix the problem and cutaway). Basically, the "now or never" altitude is the time when I make the final decision as to what canopy I'm going to land under. I'm sure everyone has their own way of doing things...but since you asked- thats mine.

I usually only raise the break off altitude if I'm doing big ways and I've hardly ever heard the flatline.René Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SkydiveMonkey 0 #4 December 30, 2001 I've got mine set at 5000, 4000 and 2000 feet. I pull at 3500 so it gives me a couple of seconds to sort myself out and wave off before the pull.
