Jämi tourist jump weekend, 17-19 July 2020
For the attention of aviators at Jämi:
We ask you to take into account parachute jumping activity that deviates from normal in all air traffic on 17-19 July 2020, as Tampere Parachute Club is running a tourist jump event.
The parachute jumping deviates from normal in that, weather permitting, tourist jumpers open their parachutes considerably higher than usual (around 3000 m) and further from the field (possibly over 10 km) in the upwind direction.
Jumpers fly under canopy in the jump sector for about 10 minutes towards the field, in groups of up to four jumpers, descending as they approach the airfield.
Jumpers do not carry aviation radios while under canopy. The jump aircraft and ground personnel do have aviation radios. The pilot of jump aircraft OH-AIK will announce jumper drops on Jämi’s aviation radio frequency, 123.650 MHz.
In addition to the tourist jumps, normal parachute jumping activity will take place during the event.
