Must have visual conditions

Air Force Combat Control Teams (CCT) or Air Force Special Tactics Team (STT) are not required on the DZ

No special aircrew or A/C requirements

Question 5

Who creates the RP during GMRS operations?

Answer 5

The DZSO/DZSTL is responsible for computing the Release Point (RP) and placing the markers IAW the RP computations.

Question 6

What three factors are taken into account to compute the RP?

Answer 6

DISPERSION
WIND DRIFT
FORWARD THROW

Question 7

What is dispersion?

Answer 7

The the length of the pattern formed by the impact of the jumpers

Question 8

What is Wind Drift?

Answer 8

Wind drift is the effect that the MEW and drop altitude will have on a parachute with no Jumper input.

Question 9

What is Forward Throw?

Answer 9

the horizontal distance the jumper or bundle will move from exit to parachute opening in the direction of flight

Question 10

What is the forward throw from helicopters?

Answer 10

Speed in knots divided in half

Question 11

Answer 13

Inverted L
T
H
