Q

What does the formula DKAV mean?
a. D = KAV, where D = drift in meters, K = the load drift constant, A = drop altitude in hundreds of feet (i.e., 1,000 feet = 10) and V = wind velocity in knots.
b. D = KAV, where D = drift in yards, K = the load drift constant, A = drop altitude in hundreds of meters (i.e., 1,000 meters = 10) and V = wind velocity in mph.

Q

What is the DKAV formula

A

Drift = Constant (eqpmnt, ttbs, pers) x Altitude of drop (expressed in 100s of feet. ex 1,000 = 10) x velocity of surface winds in knots

Drift = 1.5 eqpmnt or 2.4 ttbs or 3 pers x 10 x 5

Drift = 3 x 10 x 5

Drift = 150m
