What is the minimum altitude for a parachute jump from the T-6?

The minimum altitude for a parachute jump from the T-6 is 2,500 feet above ground level (AGL). This altitude is important for several reasons, primarily related to safety and ensuring that there is adequate time for parachutists to deploy their parachutes successfully. At 2,500 feet AGL, jumpers typically have sufficient altitude to complete the necessary procedures for a safe jump and parachute deployment, allowing for a margin of error in the event of complications. Additionally, configuring jumps at this altitude aligns with standard operating procedures that prioritize safety during training exercises or operational jumps. This altitude provides a balance between safety and operational effectiveness, making it the established minimum for parachute jumps from the T-6.
