The official minimum deployment height for Cirrus parachutes is 400 feet agl in level flight or 920 feet in a spin, but factors such as speed affect the altitude required. FAA-certified tests have shown full parachute inflation could occur as low as 260 to 290 feet agl for some aircraft, according to BRS.
