I hope for your own sake you do not fly or god forbid fly for meatbombers. Your knowledge or lack of is quite astounding. I know it is very naughty of me to quote regulations because most meatbomb organisations say"whats that" we can't understand them as they interfere with our income.
Lets start with CAO Part 29.1 which deals with Parachute Operations
4.2 The pilot in command of the aircraft from which the parachute descent is made and each parachutist shall ensure that:
4.8 A parachute descent shall not be commenced unless
(a) meterological conditions are such that the dropping zone is clearly visible to each parachutist at the commencement of the Parachute descent.
It then goes on to say that the parachutist must not enter cloud.
I see this as the pilots responsibilty to see that the above are complyed with or he/she is liable for prosecution.
Your Call
