Jumping from History: The Skydiving DC-9 Hot Rod Flies Again
It’s been over a decade since a former SAS Scandinavian Airlines DC-9 took to the skies over southern California for a skydiving mission. It finally made its return to the skies last week! (avgeekery.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
You are correct, sir.
I think what it means is that it's a Scandinavian jet but still has a US FAA registered N number.
The article is quoting the video at the bottom of the article where the pilot says "FAA registered aircraft". Clearly that's not accurate terminology here. I'm not sure what regulation (if any) actually applies regarding the safety briefing - I've certainly never had one on a jump plane.
Part 91.519 requires the PIC to ensure passengers are given a safety briefing.
Not to be too picky, but it isn't the DC-9 that is skydiving.
"Although this aircraft is a privately owned skydiving jet, it still bears an FAA registration."
Don't all aircraft in the US, regardless of ownership, have to be FAA-registered in order to fly?
