Stephen McDonnell The pilot is fully instrument qualified (commercial pilot!), parachuting/skydiving itself does not follow the same rules as flying. We can for example jump when fully overcast, skill and experience permitting. Over a designated DZ a special rule for other traffic will however be in place. On an airmap it will be marked as a danger area with hights, frequencies in use etc...

@@daveslow84 ... no offense but the pilot being IFR Rated does not allow to fly IMC during skydiving operations. Skydiving operations are conducter under VFR rules. No SID/STAR are followed by they pilot, and no flight plan is filed so... Also, skydivers are "supposed to see the ground" before exiting the airplane.

congratlation ! Stange but I never thought that Mrs. Gravity was so fierce! This error is due to my poor experience with only the soft part of Gravity, i.e.: calculations only. I know that it can become even fatal because if one cord is broken then we have to apply the general gravity equation for velocity with respect to time which is: v = gt + vi Since the initial velocity vi = 0 of a parachutist is negligible at the moment where a rope tears, the equation reduces to:v = gt where v is the vertical velocity of the object in meters/second (m/s) or feet/second (ft/s) g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s2 or 32 ft/s2) t is the time in seconds (s) that the object has fallen the power with which we hit the ground leaves now no doubt that Mrs. Gravity has to be feared...
