The wind line is usually the direction of flight of the jump aircraft.I think it is a holdover from the days of the round parachute.In those days the aircraft would fly to a point upwind of the dropzone an amount that would allow the round to drift back to the point of intended landing.These days its pretty much the direction of flight.If you track up or down the wind line you run the chance of an airspace conflict with the group ahead of or behind you.Whenever I go solo I'll track right after exit and in groups its at break off altitude.As the groups get larger someone almost always ends up tracking up or down the wind line,as they turn 180 from the formation,thats why there should be more separation between larger groups.

Big sky theory almost got me at Eloy.We (Two way) were first out followed by a solo then the freeflyers.We both tracked off the wind line and damn if the solo didn't blow by me at 2800 about 35 yards away.

From the Atair web page I am experiencing hard openings, what could be the problem? Please follow our checklist if you are having hard openings: 1) Did you read the "Atair 2-stage deployment" tech sheet? If not please do so. You will not fully enjoy your equipment if you do not use it correctly. 2) What diameter is your pilot chute? Is it f111 or ZP? Is it kill line? Recommended pilot for cobalt 150-170 is a 24” zero-p kill line collapsible. Recommended pilot for Cobalts 65-135 is a 22"-24" zero-p kill line collapsible. Note: many containers come standard with a 28-32" pilot. This is more than double the recommended surface area required. A 28" pilot will cause brisk openings especially at higher speeds.

Its been my experience that you can just schedule time and work with whoever it is thats working the tunnel at that time.If you do it ,go with specific goals to work toward.All the tunnel rats can instruct.I think that camps are geared for more advanced training.
