  NOTES: 1. Combination drops use the highest airdrop altitude. A combination drop exists when either of the
  following occurs:
  * When different aircraft drop different types of loads in same pass over DZ.
  * When different type loads exit same aircraft in same pass over DZ.
  2. Minimum airdrop altitude for heavy equipment using the 5,000-pound parachute release is 1,000 feet AGL or by
  parachute type, whichever is higher.
