    Spotting

    I regularly get 75-80sec tracking (in regular clothes) ... I sure hope I get over 90sec in a wingsuit. Then again, I'm not trying for anything other than a safe dive practicing the basics: spotting, exit, pattern, practice pulls, practice emergency procedures, altitude awareness, and deployment.

    Spotting

    Ok, I'll scale back on the 2min and the 1.5 glide ratio. Do you think 90sec and 1.0 glide ratio is a good estimate (considering I will be doing drills)? I won't have a coach or instructor but I should have an experienced wingsuit pilot. Regardless, I'm trying to understand how others determine their spot on a regular (L-Shaped Pattern) dive.

    Spotting

    I will be receiving my first wingsuit (Phoenix-Fly Phantom 2) in a couple of days and would appreciate some advice on spotting. I would currently determine the spot by ... Winds: 12,000ft, 26mph @ 310' 9,000ft, 28mph @ 320' 6,000ft, 25mph @ 305' 3,000ft, 20mph @ 335' Winds Average: 24.75mph @ 317.5' Freefall: 8,000ft, 2min (Is 2 a good estimate?) Freefall Drift: 0.83mile Freefall Fly: (Is 1.5 a good estimate?) 1.51mile Canopy: 5,000ft, 5min Canopy Drift: 2.06mile Spot: ~3.23mile @ ~317.5' Is this correct? PS: If you have question regarding my numbers please feel free to ask. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
