Disclaimer: This calculator is for reference only. Canopy selection should always involve consultation with a qualified instructor or coach. Wing loading is just one factor — canopy design, planform, and pilot skill all play critical roles in safe flight. Always follow your instructor's, DZO's, and USPA's guidance.
