- KineticLensman 6y agoThey also throw wind drift indicators out of the plane before commencing the jump run
- chrischattin 6y agoWind drift indicators are more to determine the winds at altitude vs on the ground. We drop them right over the landing zone and watch where they land. Then, adjust the jump run, exit point, and pattern accordingly. So, not necessarily determining the direction of landing, because winds can be different on the ground and at altitude.
