Dropzone Landing Area Update - User Input

US522 · June 1, 2018, 1:09pm

Hi Tracy…

I visit Switzerland for an amazing jump out of an dc-3 but I’m not shure is the landing zone known in my one.

For all, maybe a dz list, sorted by country would be helpful?!

In my case I’m looking for

Monbéliard (F) And Kappelen (CH)

When my tee is washed, maybe there is a photo possible.

Greetings
Urs

Hey Tracy,

Can you please add Sunshine Coast Skydivers - Skydive Caloundra.
26°48’13.7"S 153°06’24.8"E
-26.803802, 153.106892

And Byron too, coords for the pea pit:
28°35’44.4"S 153°32’50.2"E
-28.595678, 153.547279

Thanks!

@US522 Is this Monbéliard?

I think the Kappelen DZ may be ‘Swiss Boogie’? I have updated that drop zone on the Cloud with all of the info from their website, I did notice a calendar of events that included DC-3 jumps so it must be the correct DZ.
You don’t half get around! I’m not jealous at all…

@gemhodges Thanks Gem, I have sent you a quick email, Byron landing areas are already on the Cloud but added Sunny Coast for you.

Thanks Tracy, is the reason I couldn’t find Byron in the dz list because it wasn’t in my cloud as a preferred dz? Or is this a bug I should raise?

Can you put Vectorfest - Skydive Pink Klatovy in the database please. I expect it will be used by a lot of Dekunu users this month.

K Letišti, 573, Chaloupky, 339 01 Klatovy, Tsjechië
49.419516, 13.323843

Main landing area: 49.419120, 13.323932
Swoop pond: 49.420302, 13.324915

@stirre added for you, thanks heaps

Tracy · June 7, 2018, 1:15am

Hey @gemhodges, I believe it would be because the GPS was not syncing with satellites, the device picks up your nearest DZ based on that. If Byron had been in your regular DZ’s it would have shown up either way. No need to report, the fix is on its way, hopefully the weather improves a bit and we can complete the test jumps before the weekend!

Hey Tracy, please add Skydive Stadtlohn Germany

Tracy · June 8, 2018, 1:47am

@Valkyrie84 done

@Valkyrie84
Du solltest keinen Valkyrie springen, Du kriegst ja nicht mal ne Flugzeugtür auf ohne Dir weh zu tun.

Please change the dropzone Germany - Fallschirmsportclub Münster E.v. to this GPS coordinates.
(51.9437726,7.7722136)

Currently it is located in Africa somewhere close the equator.
The street addres is correct though.

Thanks.

@Tracy
I cannot find the Vectorfest - Skydive Pink Klatovy in the database.

BR, Bruce

stirre · June 8, 2018, 12:27pm

It should be in the DB as Skydive Pink Klatovy.

Tracy · June 8, 2018, 1:00pm

https://dekunu.cloud:8081/dropzone/2037
Here is a link to that drop zone @stirre

Bruce · June 11, 2018, 9:36am

Ok found it, but Skydive Pink Klatovy is in the database twice.
ID 318 and ID 2037.

Is 2037 for the Vectorfest only?

BR,
Bruce

Tracy · June 12, 2018, 5:55am

@Bruce well spotted, 2037 will be removed. Only 318 should be on the Cloud, it should be corrected in the next day or two. Thanks!

My home DZ, Skydive Spaceland Houston, is already uploaded, but landing areas are not. I would love to have this added to my DZ!!! Landing areas are as follows:

Yellow: UPSA D license and above
Red: General landing for all
Purple: Swoop pond and alternate landing area- open to all with any pattern (left handed preferred but not required in alternate area)

Tracy · June 14, 2018, 1:00am

@clcaruthers I have added the landing areas as points (separated the swoop and alternate landing areas), I will be able to highlight an entire area soon as well as any hazards like power lines etc.
Thank you
