Most jump sites have a 1,000 foot ceiling. Allows you enough time to deploy your secondary chute if there’s an issue. When I was jumping, I was required to have an Automatic Activation Device that would deploy my chute if I was in freefall and under 1,000 feet.

Students were required to be self aware of their altitude and wave off their instructor at 5,000 feet.
