TNB i dont believe that the APF has any control over pilots, however casa does & In case you are wondering AIP ENR5.5(2) & From memory Cao 29.1 Car 152 has some info on this. I would love to know how many parachutists actually spot the a/c these days even in 8/8 blue let alone how they do this with 8/8 cloud. Why do we always have pilots sticking up for these rouge operators could it be that some are actually skydivers trying to be pilots as well & are actually thinking with their skydive brain engaged. Seems that we will only learn when we have an accident related to jumping through cloud or a non rated ifr pilot looses it & spuds it in with a full load of tandem passengers heaven forbid, wont the media have a field day then.
