Jumpmaster
WARNING
The jumpmaster feature is for use by experienced skydivers
only. The jumpmaster feature should not be used as a primary
skydiving altimeter. Failure to input the appropriate jump related
information can lead to serious personal injury or death.
The jumpmaster feature follows military guidelines for
calculating the high altitude release point (HARP). The device
detects automatically when you have jumped to begin navigating
toward the desired impact point (DIP) using the barometer and
electronic compass.
Jump Types
The jumpmaster feature allows you to set the jump type to one
of three types: HAHO, HALO, or Static. The jump type selected
determines what additional setup information is required. For all
jump types, drop altitudes and opening altitudes are measured
in feet above ground level (AGL).
HAHO: High Altitude High Opening. The jumpmaster jumps from
a very high altitude and opens the parachute at a high
altitude. You must set a DIP and a drop altitude of at least
1,000 feet. The drop altitude is assumed to be the same as
the opening altitude. Common values for a drop altitude
range from 12,000 to 24,000 feet AGL.
HALO: High Altitude Low Opening. The jumpmaster jumps from
a very high altitude and opens the parachute at a low altitude.
The required information is the same as the HAHO jump
type, plus an opening altitude. The opening altitude must not
be greater than the drop altitude. Common values for an
opening altitude range from 2,000 to 6,000 feet AGL.
STATIC: The wind speed and direction are assumed to be
constant for the duration of the jump. The drop altitude must
be at least 1,000 feet.

Applied Ballistics Glossary of Terms
NOTE: The Applied Ballistics feature is available only on the
Foretrex 701 device.
Shooting Solution Fields
DOF: The direction of fire, with north at 0° and east at 90°. Input
field.
TIP: You can use the compass to set this value by pointing
the top of the device toward the direction of fire. The current
compass value appears in the DOF field. You can select
ENTER to use this value. You can manually enter a value by
selecting or .
NOTE: The DOF is used only for calculating the Coriolis
effect. If shooting at a target less than 1,000 yards away, this
input field is optional.
ELEVATION: The vertical portion of the aiming solution,
displayed in MIL (milliradian) or MOA (minute of angle).
RNG: The distance to the target, displayed in YDS (yards) or M
(meters). Input field.
W 1/2: The wind speed 1, wind speed 2, and wind direction. For
example, if the wind direction is 9 O'CLOCK, the wind is
blowing left to right as viewed by the shooter. Input field.
NOTE: The wind speed 2 field is optional. Using both wind
speed 1 and wind speed 2 is not an effective way to account
for different wind speeds at different distances between you
and the target. Using these fields is a way to bracket the wind
values and calculate minimum and maximum windage values
for the solution.
WINDAGE 1: The horizontal portion of the aiming solution
based on the wind speed 1 and wind direction, displayed in
MIL (milliradian) or MOA (minute of angle).
WINDAGE 2: The horizontal portion of the aiming solution
based on the wind speed 2 and wind direction, displayed in
MIL (milliradian) or MOA (minute of angle).
Additional Output Fields
AERO JUMP: The amount of the elevation solution attributed to
aerodynamic jump. Aerodynamic jump is the vertical
deflection of the bullet due to a crosswind.
COS INCL: The cosine of the inclination angle to target.
DROP: The total drop the bullet experiences along its flight path.
H COR EFFECT: The horizontal Coriolis effect. The horizontal
Coriolis effect is the amount of the windage solution
attributed to the Coriolis effect. This is always calculated by
the device, though the impact may be minimal if not shooting
at extended range.
LEAD: The horizontal correction needed to hit a target moving
left or right at a given speed.
TIP: When you enter the speed of your target, the device
factors the necessary windage required into the total windage
value on the Applied Ballistics page.
MAX ORD: The maximum ordinance. The maximum ordinance
is the maximum height above the axis of the barrel that a
bullet will reach along its flight path.
MAX ORD RNG: The range at which the bullet will reach its
maximum ordinance.
REM ENERGY: The remaining energy of the bullet at target
impact, displayed in foot-pounds (ft. lbf) of force or joules.
SPIN DRIFT: The amount of the windage solution attributed to
the spin drift (gyroscopic drift). For example, in the northern
hemisphere, a bullet shot out of a right-hand twist barrel will
always deflect slightly to the right as it travels.
TOF: The time of flight, which indicates the time required for a
bullet to reach its target at a given range.
V COR EFFECT: The vertical Coriolis effect. The vertical
Coriolis effect is the amount of the elevation solution
attributed to the Coriolis effect. This is always calculated by
the device, though the impact may be minimal if not shooting
at extended range.
VEL MACH: The estimated velocity of the bullet when it impacts
the target, displayed as a factor of mach speed.
VELOCITY: The estimated velocity of the bullet when it impacts
the target.
Environment Fields
AMB/STN PRESSURE: The ambient pressure (or station
pressure). Ambient pressure is not adjusted to represent sea
level (barometric) pressure. Ambient pressure is required for
the ballistics shooting solution. Input field.
TIP: You can manually enter this value, or you can select the
USE CURRENT PRESSURE option to use the pressure
value from the internal sensor in the device.
HUMIDITY: The percentage of moisture in the air. Input field.
LATITUDE: The horizontal location on the Earth's surface.
Negative values are below the Equator. Positive values are
above the equator. This value is used to calculate the vertical
and horizontal Coriolis drift. Input field.
TIP: You can select the USE CURRENT POSITION option to
use the GPS coordinates from your device.
NOTE: The LATITUDE is used only for calculating the
Coriolis effect. If shooting at a target less than 1,000 yards
away, this input field is optional.
TEMPERATURE: The temperature at your current location.
Input field.
10 Appendix
TIP: You can manually enter the temperature, or you can use
the temperature value from a connected tempe sensor.
WIND DIRECTION: The direction from which the wind is
coming. For example, a 9 O'CLOCK wind blows from your left
to right. Input field.
WIND SPEED 1: The wind speed used in the shooting solution.
Input field.
WIND SPEED 2: An optional, additional wind speed used in the
shooting solution. Input field.
TIP: You can use two wind speeds to calculate a windage
solution that contains a high and low value. The actual
windage to apply for the shot should fall in this range.
Target Fields
DIRECTION OF FIRE: The direction of fire, with north at 0° and
east at 90°. Input field.
NOTE: The DIRECTION OF FIRE is used only for calculating
the Coriolis effect. If shooting at a target less than 1,000
yards away, this input field is optional.
INCLINATION: The angle of inclination of the shot. A negative
value indicates a downhill shot. A positive values indicates an
uphill shot. The shooting solution multiplies the vertical
portion of the solution by the cosine of the inclination angle to
calculate the adjusted solution for an uphill or downhill shot.
Input field.
RANGE: The distance to the target, displayed in YDS (yards) or
M (meters). Input field.
SPEED: The speed of a moving target, display in mph or km/h.
A negative value indicates a target moving left. A positive
value indicates a target moving right. Input field.
Profile Fields, Bullet Properties
BALLISTIC COEFFICIENT: The manufacturer's ballistic
coefficient for your bullet. Input field.
TIP: When you use one of the Applied Ballistics custom drag
curves, the ballistic coefficient will display a value of 1.000.
BULLET DIAMETER: The bullet diameter measured in inches.
Input field.
NOTE: The diameter of the bullet may vary from the common
name of the round. For example, a 300 Win Mag is
actually .308 inches in diameter.
BULLET LENGTH: The length of the bullet, in inches. Input
field.
BULLET WEIGHT: The bullet weight measured in grains. Input
field.
DRAG CURVE: The Applied Ballistics custom drag curve, or the
G1 or G7 standard projectile models. Input field.
NOTE: Most long range rifle bullets are closer to the G7
standard.
Profile Fields, Gun Properties
HORIZONTAL SIGHT SCALE FACTOR: A linear multiplier that
accounts for horizontal scaling. Not all rifle scopes track
perfectly, so the ballistics solution requires a correction to
scale according to a particular rifle scope. For example, if a
turret is moved 10 MILS but the impact is 9 MILS, the sight
scale is 0.9. Input field.
MUZZLE VELOCITY: The speed of the bullet as it leaves the
muzzle. Input field.
NOTE: This field is required for accurate calculations by the
shooting solution. If you calibrate the muzzle velocity, this
field may be updated automatically for a more accurate firing
solution.
OUTPUT UNITS: The output units of measure. MIL (milliradian)
is 3.438 inches at 100 yards. MOA (minute of angle) is 1.047
inches at 100 yards.
SIGHT HEIGHT: The distance from the center axis of the rifle
barrel to the center axis of the scope. Input field.
TIP: You can easily determine this value by measuring from
the top of the bolt to the center of the windage turret, and
adding half of the diameter of the bolt.
TWIST RATE: The distance it takes for the rifling of your barrel
to make one full rotation. Rifle twist is often provided by the
gun or barrel manufacturer. Input field.
VERTICAL SIGHT SCALE FACTOR: A linear multiplier that
accounts for vertical scaling. Not all rifle scopes track
perfectly, so the ballistics solution requires a correction to
scale according to a particular rifle scope. For example, if a
turret is moved 10 MILS but the impact is 9 MILS, the sight
scale is 0.9. Input field.
ZERO HEIGHT: An optional modification to impact elevation at
zero range. This is often used when adding a suppressor or
using a subsonic load. For example, if you add a suppressor
and your bullet impacts the target 1 inch higher than
expected, your ZERO HEIGHT is 1 inch. You must set this to
zero when you remove the suppressor. Input field.
ZERO OFFSET: An optional modification to impact windage at
zero range. This is often used when adding a suppressor or
using a subsonic load. For example, if you add a suppressor
and your bullet impacts the target 1 inch to the left of the
expected impact, your ZERO OFFSET is -1 inch. You must
set this to zero when you remove the suppressor. Input field.
ZERO RANGE: The range at which the rifle was zeroed. Input
field.
Profile Fields, Gun Properties, Calibrate Muzzle Velocity
ENTER RANGE: The distance from the muzzle to the target.
Input field.
TIP: You should enter a value as close as possible to the
range suggested in the shooting solution. This is the range
where the bullet slows to Mach 1.2 and begins to enter the
transonic range.
ENTER TRUE DROP: The drop in MIL or MOA at the target.
Input field.
Profile Fields, Gun Properties, Calibrate Drop Scale Factor
ENTER RANGE: The range from which you are shooting. Input
field.
TIP: This range should be within 90% of the recommended
range suggested in the shooting solution. Values that are
less than 80% of the recommended range will not provide a
valid adjustment.
ENTER TRUE DROP: The drop in MIL or MOA of the bullet
when fired at range. Input field.
