AvSafety webinar – Operating safely near parachute drop zones

Flying near parachute drop zones requires careful planning, clear communication, and an understanding of how parachuting operations work.

In this 45-minute webinar, Aviation Safety Advisor Shaun Holmes will be joined by guest presenter Mark Edwards, National Aviation Officer at the Australian Parachute Federation. They will share insights on how pilots can operate safely when parachuting activity is underway, and how to share the airspace to maintain safe separation.

They’ll cover:

• Australian Parachute Federation background

• parachuting operations – drop zone information and size, required radio calls, types of parachutists, and their descent times and airspace use

• practical tips for pilots – from pre-flight planning to confirming activity in-flight, sharing responsibilities, and avoiding active drop zones.

Secure your spot, tune in online, and bring your questions.
