Whether student or qualified pilot, the incident is inexcuseable. Strathallan, Fife and Errol all have parachute symbols superimposed on them on the charts. Scottish will pass info on activity too, as will Dundee and Leuchars. This is an issue of airmanship, and situational awareness (or lack, thereof).
I'm sure we've all seen this
Catastrophic just doesn't begin to describe the consequences of even a glancing blow - to either party.
I got a briefing on join, transit and departure procedures at a paradropping strip, from a jump pilot some years ago. I learned a lot from him, not all of which was necessarily obvious. Perhaps a CAA safety sense leaflet would help.
