Barry, I always wondered: Were there ever any close calls between skydivers
and traffic on Route 91, on a windy day? "B A R R Y" wrote in message ...

A few years ago, we had a C172 vs. skydiver @ Northampton, MA. The pedestrian knocked the tail off the plane and suffered a broken leg. All aboard the aircraft perished. |

The Monk Really gives you an understanding about how fast the chute is coming down. Looks like the jumper was in freefall until just before crossing the flight level of the a/c. You can see his left hand catch the riser as the canopy is deployed. |

Big sky theory really does not apply near airport traffic patterns. I
am not a skydiver, but most skydiving seems to take place at airports. Dallas wrote: "Flyingmonk" http://www.nothingtoxic.com/media/11...by_an_Airplane Guy almost hit by airplane while skydiving. So much for the "Big Sky Theory". Dallas |

Sky divers are supposed to notify ATC and there are NOTAMS.
Not everybody really knows or follows the rules. Jump areas are supposed to be approved, but hey, a lot of jumpers break into buildings, climb bridges and otherwise break the law. -- James H. Macklin ATP,CFI,A&P -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome. some support http://www.usdoj.gov/olc/secondamendment2.htm See http://www.fija.org/ more about your rights and duties.

Jump areas are supposed to be approved, And the approved area will never be at the airport, always away from it unless it is for some kind of airshow type demonstration. |
