Parachute Performance: Density Altitude, Turbulence & Weather Effects on Canopy Flight

Master parachute performance and weather safety! This comprehensive guide covers how density altitude, turbulence, and weather conditions affect your canopy flight - essential knowledge for safe skydiving at any dropzone. In this video, you'll learn: → How air density affects parachute performance → Density altitude explained: the single number that dictates "feels like" altitude → Why higher density altitude means less flare power (up to 4% weaker per 1,000 feet!) → The physics behind altitude, temperature, and humidity effects → Four types of turbulence: mechanical, thermal, frontal, and wind shear → Turbulence behind other canopies and how to avoid it → Weather hazards: thunderstorms and the invisible threat of dust devils → What to do when encountering low-altitude turbulence → Practical advice for traveling skydivers and downsizing decisions Perfect for licensed skydivers planning travel to high-altitude or hot-weather dropzones, anyone considering downsizing, or skydivers wanting to understand how environmental factors affect canopy performance and safety. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Introduction to parachute performance and weather factors 1:17 - How humidity decreases air density (Ideal Gas Law) 2:59 - Density altitude: the single number you must know 5:05 - Why higher density altitude means less flare power 7:48 - Understanding the four main causes of turbulence 9:15 - Caution: turbulence behind other canopies 11:51 - What to do when you encounter low-altitude turbulence 13:34 - Practical advice for traveling skydivers & downsizing 📚 FREE SKYDIVING RESOURCES: → B-License Study Guide: https://skydivefundamentals.com/b-lic... → All Free Resources: https://skydivefundamentals.com 🎓 ABOUT CHRISTINA: USPA AFF Instructor and Coach Examiner with 10+ years experience in skydiving education.
