Wind speeds are measured in knots and directions 

are based on origination of wind. This information 

is usually based on data collected from National 

Oceanographic & Atmospheric Administration 

(NOAA) or by a drop zone support team leader 

(DZSTL) who monitors the course of a Pilot Balloon 

(PiBal) released from the ground at the DIP and wind 

streamers dropped from aircraft. 
Jumpmaster is capable of handling doglegs in wind 

direction.
Select Clear All from the Options Menu of this page 

to clear the list of wind speeds and directions. Wind 

speeds and directions must be entered as a pair to be 

valid. Those pairs left as “_ _ _” will be ignored in 

calculations.

The Constant Setup allows you to fine-tune certain 

aspects of the planned jump.

All jump types also can use a Percent Max to 

increase or decrease the range or their jump. Entries 

less than 100% decrease drift distance to the DIP 

while those greater than 100% increase drift distance. 

More experienced jumpmasters may choose to use 

smaller numbers while those less experienced may 

use larger numbers.
