Not a free fall jump.  Static line only.  Figure 6 - 10 seconds in the air.
Little round chutes.

The idea here is to get down quickly.

  Yeah but you can console yourself knowing that cold air tends to be calm
  air. :-)

  That's damn low for a full chute especially with rotor downdraft. I assume
  you use special chutes similar to those for base jumping? What do they
  figure time from jump to fully down, clear and situated to be? Like 15-20
  sec?
