the drop altitude. Common values for an opening 

altitude range from 2,000 to 6,000 feet AGL.
Static jumps require a drop altitude of at least 1,000 

feet to be specified. A constant wind speed and 

direction for the duration of the jump is assumed.
For HAHO and HALO jumps, wind speeds and 

directions can be entered for every 1,000 feet of 

canopy drift (CD) and every 2,000 feet of free fall 

drift (FFD). These wind speeds are entered on the 

Wind Setup page by selecting the Wind button.
Forward Throw and Course to HARP allow a user 

to determine the direction and magnitude the aircraft 

will carry the user after jumping and before free fall 

or canopy drift begins.
A number of additional constants are entered on the 

Constant Setup page by selecting Constant.
A check box at the bottom allows for auto-navigation 

to the DIP. If you want your GPSMAP76CSx to 

determine when you have jumped, this box should 

be checked. A message appears describing how to 

manually navigate the route.

Selecting the Goto HARP button begins the 

navigation process and takes you to Wind Setup. If 

Wind Setup information is missing, the GPSMAP 

76CSx automatically sets up the route with the 

calculated HARP and the selected DIP before taking 

you to the Navigation page.

Wind speeds and directions are added on the Wind 

Setup.
