Formulas

Question 1

PI shift formula

Answer 1

First calculate D=K×A×V
COS(DH-MH) × [D=K×A×V]

MH = MEW Heading
DH = Drop Heading

Question 2

circular DZs formula surveyed

Answer 2

√ (w÷2)^2 + (L - Smallest PI)^2
round up

Question 3

circular DZs formula Mission specific

Answer 3

√ (w÷2)^2 + (L÷2)^2
round up

Question 4

Drift formula

Answer 4

D = K × A × V
always round up
K = 3 pax,
2.4 satb/ttb
1.5 DB/EQ
0 free drop
A = AGL/100
V = MEW

Question 5

What is the T=D / R formula used for

Answer 5

To calculate the number of jumpers or door bundles the drop zone can accept in one pass (GREEN LIGHT)

Question 6

What is the formula
D = R × T used for

Answer 6

To calculate the amount of drop zone needed for a given number of jumpers or door bundles being dropped

Question 7

What is the D = K × A × V formula used for

Answer 7

To calculate the amount of drift experienced by a load or a jumper under a Parachute (drift always round answer up)

Question 8

What are the values for K in the D=K×A×V formula

Answer 8

3.0 = PAX
2.4 = TTB, SATB
1.5 = DB, CDS, HE
0.0 = FREE DROP, HV-CDS

Question 9

DZ formula; distance in meters from 2 grid points

Answer 9

X= √ (E - E)^2+(N - N)^2

Question 10

DZ center point formula

Answer 10

E + E + E + E ÷ 4 = center point easting

N + N + N + N ÷ 4 = center point Northing
