High Altitude Parachute Descents Page 6 of 26 New Zealand Parachute Industry Association Ltd ©️ Discussion Document High Altitude Tandems become severely impaired usually within minutes or even seconds, depending on the altitude. However it should be noted that individual tolerances vary markedly. The length of time an USPA Raises Minimum Deployment Altitude by Ed Scott One of the actions arising from last week's meeting of the USPA Board will raise the minimum deployment altitude for C- and D-license holders in the Basic Safety Requirements from the current 2,000 feet to 2,500 feet. The board had discussed this idea at previous meetings, and it has now come to the conclusion that the change will save lives.
