WHAT SKYDIVERS SAY

With the addition of winds aloft report for the selected airport/drop zone this ap has improved greatly. Developer is willing and eager to take suggestions too! A big plus. Latest updates are great. I like the ability to switch weather stations. This app has really grown since it started. My latest discovery: If your DZ isn't on the app that doesn't mean it can't be! Add it yourself! I really do like the continued development of this product. I also saw that they will have a WEB based version for the DZ. Great idea. Great tool.

Pretty cool Gives student skydivers a better idea about how landing patterns change with current wind conditions, allowing Google maps satellite-view to help set up targets for each leg of the landing pattern. (At least that's how I use it.) Plus there's a cool weather feature with winds aloft and cloud ceilings.

Land me upwind if you can.

November 1, 2016 Andrey Kan

Spot Assist is used by hundreds of skydivers every day. It can help to visualize landing pattern in current wind conditions. It allows to manually set landing direction, and some jumpers just play with this feature. What happens next is a question: why Spot Assist doesn't set the pattern directly upwind?

May 2, 2016 Andrey Kan

How to find equipment after you cut it away to save your life? Cutaway can be stressful or easy by the book. It can even be fun for some jumpers, who have them often . But one thing for everybody remains the same: you have to find the main canopy and a freebag.

Skydiving Forecast Evolution

February 22, 2015 Andrey Kan

There are big names, like weather.com, accuweather.com etc. They will show you a lot of information: humidity, sunset/sunrise, Temperature RealFeel etc. But what skydiver really wants to know is a combination of very few parameters: wind speed with gusts, wind direction, temperature, and clouds coverage.
