for a PCA jump from a 100 m bridge , which one is recommended ?
38' or 46' V pc ?

i would use the 46

42.... If you dont have one, get one. Thats the workhorse on the vast majority of my jumps.

what he said!

I fully agree withthe 42" thing said by others. But the question is 38" or 46"? GO 46"!!!

100 meters = 328 feet

The pilot chute on a PCA deployment does 2 things:

1) serves as back-up for your helper
(in case he drops your bridle early...)

2) it applies drag to your parachute
(which affects your glide, honestly not
sure how it affects the canopy's sink)

So I would chose my PC based on the LZ
and the amount of faith I had in my friend
