Purpose
The purpose of this document is to communicate a set of best practices in order to lower the risk associated with sport high-altitude skydiving operations. For the purposes of this document, High Altitude Skydiving Operations (HASO) are defined as those jump operations initiated at altitudes at or above 14,000 ft. MSL and up to 22,000 ft. MSL. These altitudes were chosen to cover the range that most drop zones will ascend to when offering high-altitude jumps. A separate section will be developed to cover altitudes above 22,000 ft. MSL. It is understood that there will be some overlap between the information presented in this document and the document that covers 22,000 ft. MSL and higher. The recommendations in this document are for jumps where the planned canopy opening altitude is at or just slightly above what is considered the normal opening altitude for the specific activity planned.
