Main Menu > Jumpmaster To set the drop and open altitude values: 1. Highlight each field and press Enter to open the numeric keypad. 2. Enter the desired values and select OK to enter each value. For HAHO and HALO jumps, wind speeds and directions can be entered for every 1,000 feet of canopy drift (CD) and every 2,000 feet of free fall drift (FFD). The wind setup must be completed before entering values for forward throw and course to HARP. Jumpmaster is capable of handling doglegs in wind direction. Wind Setup Wind speeds and directions are added on the Wind Setup page. 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) monitoring the course of a Pilot Balloon (PiBal) released from the ground at the DIP and wind streamers dropped from aircraft once the HARP is calculated.
