Narrative:

Don't know anything about casa 212 pilots' ratings, only comment is they land when chutist still in air near runway. Location D73. Parachutist crossed runway in front of landing casa (about 500 ft estimated). Casa 212 pilot pulled up clearing chutist 35 ft or so. Normal landing area for chutist on west side of runway. Note: the jump plane gives required warnings but there were 30 jumpers landing at about same time.
