Percent Max.: Sets the jump range for all jump types. A setting less than 100% decreases the drift distance to the DIP, and a setting greater than 100% increases the drift distance. More experienced jumpmasters may want to use smaller numbers, and less experienced skydivers may want to use larger numbers.

Safety Factor: Sets the margin of error for a jump (HAHO only). Safety factors are usually integer values of two or greater, and are determined by the jumpmaster based on specifications for the jump.
