Read full description

Parachute Log is the iOS app for tracking parachute operations — built for military paratroopers, sport skydivers, and jumpmasters who need fast, detailed, reliable records of every jump. QUICK JUMP LOGGING Log a jump in seconds with a streamlined form that captures everything that matters: • Date and location — manual or auto-detected via GPS with reverse geocoding • Jump type — Static Line, Freefall, Mass Tactical, or Tandem • Aircraft, exit altitude, and MSL — in feet or meters • Duty position — Student, Parachutist, or Jumpmaster • Canopy type and sortie count • Conditions — Day/Night, Equipment/Hollywood, Water, and Oxygen Save your most-used values as defaults so repeat jumps take just a few taps. Swipe to duplicate a previous jump and pre-fill the form for similar operations. LIVE WEATHER Real-time weather from the Open-Meteo API records temperature, wind speed, wind direction, and conditions alongside every jump. Units respect your preferences — Fahrenheit/Celsius, mph/km/h. JUMP HISTORY Browse your complete log in a searchable, chronological list.
