Good evening,
My device has multiple times accidentally gone into freefall mode after we dropped off some hop and pops. (And Iām still in the plane)
It doesnāt happen every time but a couple of times.
We are ascending, levelling of for the hop and pop, 3500 and 5500 ft and as they close the door, the alti goes into freefall mode, it stays like that for the whole climb to 13000ft and the jump, nice thing is that I logged about 9 min of freefall. And Iāve been able to show other friend Skydiverās how the dekunu looks during freefall. Must be some fix to this?
Iām quite sure it doesnāt have to do with the way the pilot Is flying but it has to do with the high pressure peak that occurs when we close the door. Some times many of us also get the low altitude warning ļø screaming from our beepers, as we close the door. Anyway I guess they can fix this by changing the way the software reads the data, so that a peak like this will not directly put it into freewill mode.
I constantly exit from 15K after people have exited from a lower altitude. . Pretty much every time it goes into freefall mode when the lower altitude jumpers exit
Strange. I had a hop & pop in almost every load I jumped with my dekunu and it never went into freefall mode before I was on jumprun at 13000 or 15000 + open door.
I was jumping these past 2 weekends and I had this issue multiple times. logbook in the dekunu shows long freefall times but in the cloud all looks ok. What is the status of this issue. Thing is that I want to see the heading and the speed on exit. When it is in freefall mode this is not possible.
@buzz_lightyear I believe this is being tested as we speak, if all goes well it will be rolled out in a firmware update, I donāt have an ETA at the moment
