25%
Wind speed should be measured at a height of 30 feet (nine metres) above the DZ, but where measured at eye level, the wind speed must be recorded as the actual reading plus 25 per cent.
12 kts
Night descents must be made only under the following conditions:
(a) The aircraft is operated to night VMC, VFR or IFR procedures;
(b) The target is illuminated so that it is clearly visible throughout the descent; and (c) Ground wind speed is below 12 knots.
2500ft
For student parachutists, the main parachute must be open by 2,500 feet AGL.
90 days
2.3.2 Student or Novice Parachutist
A student or novice parachutist who has not made a descent within the period of 90 days immediately preceding the intended training descent, must be assessed by the DZSO prior to undertaking a descent.
10 minutes
Wind speed should remain below the specified limits for at least 10 minutes before commencing or resuming operations.
500m
A personal flotation device that complies with APF Equipment Standards must be worn by each and every parachutist in the following situations:
(b) A student parachutist if the target is within 500 meters of a water hazard.
1000 ft
A parachutist must not be carried in an aircraft during parachuting operations unless the parachutist:
(a) (b)
has been instructed in the use of the parachutist restraints fitted to the aircraft; and
wears the parachutist restraint at all times below 1,000 feet AGL and at any other time as directed by the pilot.

Separation Height
Parachutists on any type of freefall RW descent must discontinue RW and separate at least 1,000 feet above the planned deployment height.
20 kts
Holders of a Certificate Class A or B
30 feet
Wind speed should be measured at a height of 30 feet (nine metres) above the DZ, but where measured at eye level, the wind speed must be recorded as the actual reading plus 25 per cent.
10000ft
For wingsuit training progression descents, the minimum exit height must be 10,000 feet AGL.
2000ft
For all other descents except tandem and Display Open descents, the main parachute must be open by

CRW Minimum Working Height
(a) During CRW training descents, the minimum working height must be 2,000 feet.
(b) During CRW descents that do not involve any training, the minimum working height may be determined by the DZSO.
10 seconds
- Visual Altimeter Requirements
- The CI may authorise in writing an exception to this regulation for specified descents where the delay does not exceed 10 seconds.
