About 11,500, which is about 10000 max... Once you start getting higher than that, air density and alt become factors... Your jumpin from 10K AGL (above ground). Things start to get iffy for a piston airplane, especially a small one where the center of gravity shifts so quickly. Plus anything much higher and you and your jumpers start feeling the effects of hypoxia.....
So 10K is about all you get, 11500K on the altimeter....
