Hey there guys and gals,

I have been having a hard time finding concrete rules regarding parachuting from an airplane. First and foremost, this is purely hypothetical, seeing as I am in no position to allow anyone out of an airplane I am commanding with the hours I have accumulated thus far.

From what I have gathered out of the FAR/AIM rulebook, the legality of parachuting from and within uncontrolled airspace is limited only to the preparation of packing a parachute.

Part 105 clearly outlines that parachuting into controlled airspace requires a two-way radio communication with the air traffic control 5 minutes prior to the jump, a visibility of 5 miles or greater at or above 10,000 ft, and CoC within the jump radius.

Nowhere does it outline or mention uncontrolled airspace, the legality of a Private Pilot PIC, etc.

I have also been unsuccessful in finding a website which outlines the rules. I have also searched our forums, and have come up with nothing related to a request like this. It would be great to shed some light into this vague corner of FAR/AIM interpretation.
