Dirt Dive: Skydive Altimeter
Practice altitude awareness
Free
A simulated jump on a real-feeling dial, four altitude alerts with their own tones, a log of every practice. Simulation only. Never an altimeter, never for a real jump.
*** This is NOT a real altimeter ***
Dirt Dive is a skydive altimeter SIMULATOR. It exists so a skydiving student can practise altitude awareness on the ground: looking at the altimeter regularly through a dive, knowing the altitude at every moment, and hearing the alerts at the altitudes that matter. A dirt dive is the rehearsal you walk through before a jump. This is that rehearsal, on a dial.
It measures nothing. There is no barometer and no GPS; every altitude on the dial is computed from a descent profile. Never use it on a jump, and never in place of a real, certified altimeter. The alert altitudes that ship are simulation defaults, not procedural advice: your real altitudes come from your training, your dropzone and your instructor.
FEATURES
• A whole simulated jump on an analogue dial, from the exit altitude down to the landing, with a digital readout and one word for each phase: Exit, Freefall, Pull, Canopy, Landed
• Feet and metres, each with its own dial face, scale and markings, as two real instruments would have
• Exit altitude you set yourself (14,000 ft, 4,000 m, anything your dropzone flies to) by dragging the ruler on the edge of the screen
• Four audible alerts, each at an altitude you set on a slider, each with its own tone and a buzz: breakoff (for example 5,500 ft), pull (3,500 ft), hard deck (2,000 ft) and canopy check (1,000 ft)
• Fall rate by body position: belly, tracking, sit fly and head down, so a fast freefly profile rings its alerts at the right moment
• Opening altitude and canopy descent rate on sliders, and the alerts are evaluated over every foot crossed, so a fast profile never skips one
• Surprise mode: the dive starts at a random moment, so you have to watch the dial instead of counting
• Saved profiles for the jumps you actually do, one tap away
• A log of every simulated dive: the altitude, the position, the time from exit to ground, the four phases as a strip, practices this week and days practised
FOR WHOM
AFF students between jumps, licensed jumpers coming back after a winter, coaches showing what a hard deck looks like, and anyone who wants the altimeter habit to be automatic before it has to be.
