Abstract
A parachuting method may include: (1) determining a release point where parachute items must be released from an aircraft, (2) determining a first end point that is located on a straight reference line downstream of the release point where the release of parachute items must stop, (3) determining a second end point that is located on the straight reference line downstream of the first end point where parachuting is ended, (4) performing a first parachuting sequence by guiding the aircraft along the straight reference line and releasing some of the items to be parachuted between the release point and the first end point, (5) determining a flight circuit for the aircraft to return from the second end point to follow the straight reference line until it reaches the second end point, and (6) performing additional parachuting sequences.
