The parachute flight path refers to the trajectory that a parachutist follows from the moment they exit an aircraft until they land on the ground. This path is influenced by factors such as the initial velocity, the parachute's design and deployment, wind conditions, and the weight of the jumper. The flight path typically includes a free-fall phase followed by a controlled descent under the open parachute. Understanding this path is crucial for ensuring safety and accuracy during parachuting.
Yes, the shape and size of a parachute can affect its flight and landing. A larger parachute will create more drag, slowing down the descent. The shape of the parachute can also impact how stable it is during flight and how smoothly it lands.
No, you cannot bring a parachute as a carry-on item on a flight. Parachutes are considered hazardous materials and are not allowed in carry-on luggage.

To determine a flight path, you must first specify your starting location.

The flight path follows a Northeast direction.
Indeed why? There are videos of examples where a parachutist has deliberately set fire to their parachute in flight, however this is part of a stunt. For 99.9999999% of skydivers, they do not set fire to their parachute as it is needed to save their life. For your information, all skydivers wear a reserve parachute for use in the case of a malfunction of the main parachute.
if you mean a parachute jumper, its called freefall.
Yes. AEs understand the flight mechanics of parachutes.
