Pilot In Command
The CASA rules applying to pilots, lift driving for meatbombs. AIP ENR 5.5-4/ 2.1.1 states [Parachutist must not be dropped if descent will will result in their entry into cloud] The AIP's are not designed for Parachutists but the person in command, piloting the aircraft from which they drop.
I did not complain about the IFR flying operations only the fact that the fools were dropping through cloud and that the pilot will be held responsible.
As for having an axe to grind you are not wrong these fools endanger the lives of myself, my passengers, my students and all other airspace users in the area.
Thanks for your input, if just a little misguided, only time will tell, but I feel the noose is getting tighter.
Cheers Q
