Dropping Accuracy ...

Being completely ignorant on such matters ... I'd appreciate a little understanding on the science affecting dropping accuracy ?

I assume its a function of Load Weight, Load Morphology, Type of Chute along with Aircraft Air Speed, Height and Time of Release versers Wind Direction/Strength and possibly Drop Zone Alt ... but how does the LM bring all this together to produce an accurate drop ?

AA62 ... I do appreciate in large part it's skill and experience

Drag ... If you plan to jump in on this one ... keep the Maths light mate
