This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
This is one of the system i made that used on my map, since i think there's no such thing like this yet so...Hope you like it...

you can try 0.03125 with custom script 
otherwise, it's not a matter, just performance wise (save 1.33 operation per second).
it's decent system, oh yeah, reminds me of Red Alert Paradrop or Airborne
(Love to spam them back then before I start switching from US Airborne to Korean Black Eagles).
EDIT :
Perhaps you might explain some variables on the triggers (maybe the example triggers for the least)

Some things to think about:
If you want you can write it via custom script, but the performace boost of TriggerEvaluate towards TriggerExecute is minor.
- wind direction and wind force
- disable movement while flying
- disable attack while flying
-
Trigger - Run Pcht_dropEndTrigger (ignoring conditions)
If you want you can write it via custom script, but the performace boost of TriggerEvaluate towards TriggerExecute is minor.

Custom script: call TriggerEvaluate(udg_Pcht_endTrigger[Pcht_index])
