The jumpmaster feature allows you to set the jump type to one of three types: HAHO, HALO, or Static. The jump type selected determines what additional setup information is required (Entering Jump Information). For all jump types, drop altitudes and opening altitudes are measured in feet above ground level (AGL).

HAHO

High Altitude High Opening. The jumpmaster jumps from a very high altitude and opens the parachute at a high altitude. You must set a DIP and a drop altitude of at least 1,000 feet. The drop altitude is assumed to be the same as the opening altitude. Common values for a drop altitude range from 12,000 to 24,000 feet AGL.

HALO

High Altitude Low Opening. The jumpmaster jumps from a very high altitude and opens the parachute at a low altitude. The required information is the same as the HAHO jump type, plus an opening altitude. The opening altitude must not be greater than the drop altitude. Common values for an opening altitude range from 2,000 to 6,000 feet AGL.

Static

The wind speed and direction are assumed to be constant for the duration of the jump. The drop altitude must be at least 1,000 feet.
