Hello,
I have a question for all of you, in a Terminal control aerea of class D if you have at the same time IFR (approach or departure) and Parachute activity from FL130 (this level is actually outside the TMA) but landing on ground (inside the TMA), how would you provide separation for your IFR aircraft vs. the paras?
I would say that in a case like that you should stop on or the other activity until you have confirmation that all the jumpers are on ground or at least below the lowest level of the TMA. Please tell if I'm wrong but the only way to have an effective separation inside a controlled airspace, would be to create a segregated area where the paras can jump and keep the IFR at least 2.5 NM around?
In case instead the same situation happen outside the controlled airspace, like in airspace class E, the paras could jump from everywhere and it's responsibility of the PIC to avoid them?
Thank you.
