I can't think of any excuse for a jump plane to be below his jumpers, no matter how much other jump pilots justify it. The jumpers have the right of way. It's careless/reckless operation and most likely negligent homicide. Actually jumpers DO NOT have the right of way. And I fail to see why the jump plane getting down before the jumpers is in itself reckless. Jumpers under canopy have a lousy descent rate and the jump plane has good reasons not to just circle around waiting for these guys to come down. |
