Operation of ARABS in Delayed Opening Mode
Operation of ARABS in Delayed Opening Mode - Continued WARNING It is highly recommended that free fall bundles he ground controlled. A parachutist descending below an ARABS in free fall could possibly risk collision upon deployment of his main parachute. Free fall rate of descent is directly related to the size and weight of the payload. A heavier payload with the same drag area will have a proportionately higher rate of descent. As an example, a 500 pound payload with a drag area (bottom surface) of approximately 1.4 square feet (10 x 20 inches) will descend under the drogue at approximately the same speed as a free fall parachutist, while a load with the same area and only 200 pounds in weight or a 500 pound payload with a standard size of 30 x 40 inches (8.33 ft2), will descend at roughly half of that rate. With larger sized payloads, the rate of descent would be proportionately less. This is an important consideration if the load is to be accompanied in free fall by a parachutist, for air control of the load. It would be ultimately impossible for a jumper to follow a bundle that is only descending at 60 mph. 2-67
