Who is responsible for ensuring cloud-clearance requirements are met during a jump?

The pilot alone
The jumper alone
The jumper and pilot jointly
The ground crew

The correct answer is: The jumper and pilot jointly

The responsibility for ensuring cloud-clearance requirements are met during a jump falls jointly to both the jumper and the pilot. This collaborative effort is crucial for safety and compliance with regulations. The pilot is tasked with navigating the aircraft in a manner that avoids clouds and adheres to visual flight rules (VFR). However, the jumper must also be aware of the conditions before exiting the aircraft, which includes assessing the visual cues of cloud cover and ensuring that their intended jump area meets the legal minimum distance from clouds. By working together, the pilot provides critical information about the flight path and altitudes while the jumper must make informed decisions regarding their exit from the aircraft. This joint responsibility ensures that both parties are actively contributing to a safe jump environment, thereby minimizing risks associated with cloud cover and maintaining proper visibility.
