Plan in 2D, explore in 3D, then share. Use the Wind, Pattern, Canopy and Brief tabs at the bottom of the panel.
- Choose the dropzone and landing point.
Select a site using the dropzone name at the top of the panel. In 2D, drag the red target to fine-tune the landing point.
- Set the wind.
In Wind, check the forecast source and update time. Use Refresh for a new forecast, or adjust wind direction and speed manually. The winds-aloft status explains whether the 1,000 ft AGL forecast or previous data is being used.
- Enter canopy size, body weight and equipment weight.
In Canopy, enter area in sqft and body weight without equipment in kg. Equipment starts at an editable 12 kg estimate; use measured weight when available. The displayed total includes both and is used for wing loading and the route. Older records retain their total until you enter body weight; check whether that total already included equipment.
- Shape the pattern in 2D.
In Pattern, choose left or right and set the three leg heights in ft. Tap the route to switch sides or drag it around the landing point. Solid is wind-adjusted; dashed is the no-wind baseline.
- Explore heights and turns in 3D.
Tap 3D to see heights, descending turns and the landing point. On a phone, twist with two fingers to rotate and pinch to zoom. On a computer, right-drag to rotate and use the wheel to zoom. Recenter brings the whole route back into view; return to 2D to edit it.
- Review and share the briefing.
In Brief, check landing coordinates, wind, final heading and the three leg heights. Share Briefing includes a link with the current settings. If system sharing is unavailable, the briefing text and link can be copied.
On a phone, tap the chevron to open or collapse the panel; drag the header up for more room. Panning, pinching or rotating the map collapses the panel. Editing fields keeps it open.
In Safari, choose Hide Toolbar from the page menu; tap the bottom edge to restore it. For fewer browser controls, add the site to your Home Screen and turn on Open as Web App. The site cannot hide the iPhone status bar and does not offer offline use.
Use the briefing for pre-jump discussion. Confirm the actual plan with your instructor, local wind observations and DZ rules.
