This video is about jump runs and choosing a directions to track, how to take drift into account and many other things. This is not a you must spot or build a jump run like this but more of a discussion on our opinions on how we come up with a spot and what we take into account. There are many ways to spot and create a jump run, so please be open minded. if you have any comments, questions or would like to add something to this video please add them below in the comments section.
ADDITIONAL remarks and thoughts for the section around 11:11 below:
The main reason you should not track down wind of the upper winds is due to the main line of a groups drifting over the tracking group AFTER the tracking groups canopies have opened and they are flying back to the dz. Even if the canopies fly parallel to jump run after opening there is still a chance the main line may drift over them. Even if its just 1 person while breaking off.
It is ALSO not necessary for the trackers to always get out of the plane first. You are able to put them along the jump line many different ways. They do not always need to go 45 degrees off jump run but can also fly 90, 180, many different ways. the main focus point should be "where" do they open, "how" do they get back to the Dz, "what" is their flight path in freefall, "what traffic will they encounter. These are all things that should be also taken into account when figuring out the direction of flight of a tracking group.
