Reference pointer:

Federal Aviation Regulations Part 105.

You can find most of the important stuff in the Skydiver's Information Manual -
that ugly blue binder that sits on the corner of every packing table in the
United States.

Basically, if you are going to jump at the DZ you'll need.
-premission of the DZ/Airport owner.
-A plane STCed for door removal.
-An emergency rig for the pilot.
-Written notification of the nearest FAA Flight Service Station.


Blue Skies.
