The embodiments of the Parachute Landing Assistant are comprised of a battery pack, a power switch, an LED indicator light; an audio jack; a microcontroller; and a ground proximity sensor. The LED indicator light informs the parachutist as to whether operation is enabled or disabled and indicates when the unit is charging. The microcontroller controls the components of the Parachute Landing Assistant. The ground proximity sensor senses the distance from the ground of the parachutist. The ambient pressure sensor allows the unit to determine its height. During a jump the ambient pressure gauge will sense the pressure change and turn on the Parachute Landing Assistant. It will also be used to send a warning to advise the parachutist of upcoming flare tones established by the ground proximity sensor and microcontroller.
