ACR FRT ACFT HAS NEAR MISS WITH A SKY DIVER!

Narrative

IN ADDITION TO THE RPT SUBMITTED; I BELIEVE THE PARACHUTE JUMPING ACTIVITY SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTAMED. THE JUMP ACTIVITY SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 3 MI TO THE SIDE OF CLOUDS. APCH SHOULD HAVE VECTORED MY ACFT EARLIER; AND I SHOULD HAVE REQUESTED A VECTOR AWAY FROM THE PARACHUTE JUMPING ACTIVITY EARLIER. THIS LETTER CONCERNS THE NEAR MISS BTWN MY ACFT AND A PARACHUTE JUMPER. ON AUG/XX/93 AT XA00Z. POS; PAE VOR 085 DEG RADIAL AT 8 DME. ALT: 6000 FT. WX: BROKEN COVERAGE; BASES 3000 FT; TOPS 10000 FT. CUMULIFORM TYPE CLOUDS. VISIBILITY UNRESTRICTED. COMS AS I RECALL. XA52 APCH: TFC; A JUMP ACFT OVER HARVEY. RPTR: THANKS. XA59 JUMP ACFT: SEATTLE APCH; JUMPERS AWAY IN 1 MIN. APCH: (UNINTELLIGIBLE GRUNT). XA59:30 APCH: 12 O'CLOCK; 1 MI OUT OF 10000. RPTR: OK. XA59:45 RPTR: APCH; HOW ABOUT A DIVERGENT VECTOR? APCH: TURN R; NO; TURN L 270. RPTR: 270. XB00 RPTR: I JUST MISSED A JUMPER BY 1/4 MI. APCH: ROGER. RPTR: HE HAD AN ORANGE CHUTE; HE WAS IN AND OUT OF THE CLOUDS. OBSERVATIONS: IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL IF A MIDAIR WOULD HAVE OCCURRED IF THE VECTOR WAS NOT FOLLOWED. HOWEVER; THE PROX OF THE JUMPER WAS EVIDENT BY THE DETAILS VISIBLE; WHITE DROUGE; ORANGE CANOPY AND DARK JUMP SUIT. THE JUMPER WAS CLEARLY IN AND OUT OF A TALL CUMULUS CLOUD.
