We investigate quasinormal mode frequencies \ensuremathωn of gravitinos and generic massive spin-(3)/(2) fields in a Schwarzschild-AdSD background in spacetime dimension D>3, in the black brane (large black hole) limit appropriate to many applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence. First, we find asymptotic formulas for \ensuremathωn in the limit of large overtone number n. Asymptotically, \ensuremathωn\ensuremath≃n\mathrm\ensuremathΔ\ensuremathω+O(lnn)+O(n0), where \mathrm\ensuremathΔ\ensuremathω is a known constant, and here we compute the O(lnn) and O(n0) corrections to the leading O(n) behavior. Then we compare to numerical calculations of exact quasinormal mode frequencies. Along the way, we also improve the reach and accuracy of an earlier, similar analysis of spin-(1)/(2) fields.
