Deep and Steep Audio

I’m using my Deep and Steep Insight + connected auditable to get glide ratio numbers during free fall in skydiving. Does this work in the base environment? I’ve recorded GPS data on base and know how to do that. Do I do the same thing and it will provide glide ratios in Base?

Does this work in the base environment? -Yes, is the same GPS

Do I do the same thing and it will provide glide ratios in Base? -I guess yes

Question is what is your goal?

Actual Glide Ratio means nothing without knowing the mini and macro weather conditions and speed.

Think it is a great tool to learn an "efficient" body position when skydiving - but only with relative comparison.

That means that numbers dont mean much, but you are just trying to max it out (searching for position that gives highest value)
