Paradrop troops and cargo

Paradrop troops/cargo using the following method:

Identify and confirm the designated LZ prior to approach.
Calculate drop alignment point above the LZ, accounting for wind strength and direction. Flying into the wind is preferred to improve drop accuracy.
Establish level flight at low, stable airspeed during approach to the drop point.
Perform the drop
1. For cargo drops: initiate drop sequence approximately 7 seconds before reaching the drop point using the cargo interaction menu
2. For troop drops: announce drop status over comms:
  1. Communicate “RED LIGHT” to the Jump Master 20 seconds before reaching the LZ.
  2. Communicate “GREEN LIGHT” to the Jump Master 10 seconds before reaching the LZ.
Maintain steady flight path through drop execution.
After release, immediately egress from the drop zone and resume mission flight profile.
