    • 500 ft

    • 1000 ft

    • 1500 ft

    • 1800 ft

    Correct Answer
    A. 500 ft
    Explanation
    Jumpers may remove their helmets at 500 ft during the climb. This altitude is likely chosen because it is considered a safe height where the risk of injury from removing the helmet is minimized. At this point, the jumper is still relatively close to the ground, but high enough to have some time to react and put the helmet back on if necessary. Removing the helmet at a higher altitude could potentially be more dangerous due to the increased speed and potential for unexpected turbulence.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    The Jumpmaster will remove his or her seat belt at 500’ AGL or _________________.

    • As soon as the aircraft is clear of the runway and climb is established
