2 SKYDIVERS JUMPED FROM A DHC6 TWIN OTTER WITHOUT THE PLT'S PERMISSION OVER A CLOUD DECK.

Narrative

I WAS FLYING SKYDIVERS OVER X26 SEBASTIAN ARPT. THERE WAS A SCATTERED LAYER OF CLOUDS WITH BASES ABOUT 5000 FT. ONE CLOUD WAS OVER THE N SIDE OF THE ARPT. THERE WAS ADEQUATE SPACE TO THE S OF THE CLOUD TO LET THE SKYDIVERS OUT LEGALLY AND THEY WOULD STILL BE OVER THE ARPT. I WAS GOING TO ACCOMPLISH THIS BY FLYING 2-3 PASSES TO GET EVERYONE OUT LEGALLY. ON MY SECOND PASS; THERE WERE 2 JUMPERS LEFT; A TANDEM AND HIS STUDENT. I TURNED THE 'GO' LIGHT OFF AS WE APCHED THE CLOUD. I WAS GOING TO OFFER THE JUMPERS ANOTHER PASS WHEN THEY LEFT THE AIRPLANE WITHOUT MY AUTH. WE WERE OVER CLOUDS AND I DID NOT VIEW THEM ON THE WAY DOWN; BUT THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY JUMPED THROUGH THE CLOUDS. I QUESTIONED THE TANDEM MASTER AND HE DENIED GOING THROUGH CLOUDS. I ALSO WARNED THAT IF HE DOES NOT WAIT FOR MY AUTH IN THE FUTURE; I WILL NOT ALLOW HIM TO FLY ON MY AIRPLANE. WHEN I LANDED; I NOTICED SOME MEN TAKING PICTURES. I AM NOT SURE WHETHER THEY MAY HAVE BEEN FAA OR NOT; BUT THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE MY LICENSE VIOLATED FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S BAD JUDGEMENT.
