Narrative:

While on a jump run for skydivers several times throughout this day, I observed a clear hole through the broken layer of clouds at 5000 ft AGL. Releasing the skydivers through this hole was executed several times throughout the day and, on several occasions, the cloud clearance rapidly diminished or the hole moved enough for the clearance requirements to be broken while the divers were falling. The day had convective activity, and the clouds were constantly condensing. To prevent further occurrence I feel that a possible lower altitude for release, or not jumping at all would prevent this situation.

Title: AN SMA PLT RPTS THAT HE DROPPED SKYDIVERS THROUGH HOLES IN CLOUDS SEVERAL TIMES IN 1 DAY. FAR VIOLATION. NON TWR ARPT UNICOM.

Narrative: WHILE ON A JUMP RUN FOR SKYDIVERS SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THIS DAY, I OBSERVED A CLR HOLE THROUGH THE BROKEN LAYER OF CLOUDS AT 5000 FT AGL. RELEASING THE SKYDIVERS THROUGH THIS HOLE WAS EXECUTED SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE CLOUD CLRNC RAPIDLY DIMINISHED OR THE HOLE MOVED ENOUGH FOR THE CLRNC REQUIREMENTS TO BE BROKEN WHILE THE DIVERS WERE FALLING. THE DAY HAD CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY, AND THE CLOUDS WERE CONSTANTLY CONDENSING. TO PREVENT FURTHER OCCURRENCE I FEEL THAT A POSSIBLE LOWER ALT FOR RELEASE, OR NOT JUMPING AT ALL WOULD PREVENT THIS SIT.
