Deployment altitudes for DZ's with multiple aircrafts in use

[flygirl1 0]

I'm headed down to jump at Perris over christmas and I was wondering what there policy about a higher pull altitude was. I usually pull at 5,000ft - 4,500ft and I was wondering if that was to high considering the amount of planes they have flying. I don't mind pulling a little lower than that I would just like to know what to expect.

Also how about jumping the jet? do they have a special set pull altitude because of the higher traffic in the air or do they factor that in to the exit order like normal jump planes?

Thanks

No set-in-stone policy. Just tell manifest and the people on the load. They'll generally accommodate you. If you just want to pull high to play with the canopy, they do H+P's at 5000 feet pretty regularly.

>Also how about jumping the jet?

Since it's never been jumped there before, I have a feeling they will have to figure that out!

When will you and Brian be at Perris? I plan to be at some point from the 26th-30th still TBD. Just curious.

I think a hop and pop from the jet would be a pretty rude experience.

That was my exact question at Perris and Elsinore both when I first got there a few weeks back. They were both accommodating just like any other dz I've been to.

In fact last time at Perris at the Square One store there was a guy in there that said he never deployed below 5.5K and he didn't mention any issues about it.

Can't wait for the xmas boogie as bad weather has limited jumping (grrrr)
