uncontrolled airspace other than those previously covered in paragraphs 15 through 19. The ATC facility or FSS nearest to the proposed jump site should be notified at least 1 hour before the jump is to be made, but not more than 24 hours before the jump is to be completed.
NOTIFICATION OF AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF JUMPING. FAR Section 105.23 (b) provides for ATC to accept a written notification from a parachute jumping operation for a scheduled series of jumps to be made over a stated period of time not to exceed 12 calendar months. Notification should be filed with the ATC facility at least 15 days, but not more than 30 days, before the jumping activity is to take place.
22. INFORMATION REQUIRED AND NOTICE OF CANCELLATION OR POSTPONEMENT OF JUMP.
a. FAR Section 105.25 prescribes that applicants for an authorization under FAR Section 105.19 or FAR Section 105.21 and those submitting a notice under FAR Section 105.23 are to include the following information in that application or notice.
(1) The date and time jumping will begin.
(2) The size of the parachute landing area expressed in the nautical mile radius around the target.
(3) The location of the center of the parachute landing area in relation to:
The nearest very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) facility in terms of the VOR radial on which it is located, and its distance in nautical miles from the VOR facility when that facility is 30 nautical miles or less from the parachute landing area or drop zone.
(ii) The nearest airport, town, or city depicted on the appropriate Coast and Geodetic Survey World Aeronautical Chart (WAC), or Sectional Aeronautical Chart, when the nearest VOR facility is móre than 30 nautical miles from the center of the parachute landing area or drop zone.
(4) The altitudes above the surface at which jumping will take place.
(5) The duration of the intended jump.
The name, address, and telephone number of. the person requesting the authorization or giving notice.
(7) The identification of the aircraft to be used.
(8) The radio frequencies, if any, available in the aircraft.
Each person requesting an authorization under FAR Section 105.19 or FAR Section 105.21, and each person submitting a notice under FAR Section 105.23 must promptly notify the FAA ATC facility or FSS from which it requested authorization or which it notified if the proposed or scheduled jumping activity is cancelled or postponed.

23. AIRCRAFT OPERATING AND AIRWORTHINESS REQUIREMENTS.
a. Procedure. Owners or operators of aircraft listed in Appendix 2, who are interested in obtaining authorization and operating limitations for these aircraft to be flown with the door open or removed, should forward a written request to the FSDO having jurisdiction over the area in which these operations are to be conducted. The request should contain the following information:
(1) Name and address of the registered owners) of the aircraft.
(2) Make, model, serial, and registration numbers of the aircraft.
(3) Place where the aircraft is normally based.
(4) Reason the aircraft is to be operated with a door open or removed.
b. Installation and removal of equipment must be handled in accordance with the applicable sections of FAR Part 43. The original alteration to the jump configuration is required to be performed by an appropriately certificated person and recorded in the aircraft records. The equipment list and weight and balance data are required to be revised to show both the jump configuration and the standard configuration. Subsequent conversions may be made by the pilot in command if the work falls within the scope of preventive maintenance (see FAR Part 43, Appendix A, paragraph (c)). The installation or removal of equipment in an aircraft or the increase in passenger loads, other than that already approved for that aircraft, requires some form of FAA approval such as a type certificate data sheet, supplemental type certificate data sheet, or FAA field approval, if applicable. Anyone applying for approval to alter an aircraft for parachute jumping operations should submit sufficient evidence to the local FSDO to permit evaluation of the following:
(1) The effect of any aircraft alteration such as door removal or external protuberances on the controllability or handling qualities of the aircraft.
(2) The relationship of the maximum number of persons to be carried aboard the aircraft to the emergency exit requirements of FAR Section 91.607, safety belt requirements of FAR Section 91.107, and the aircraft's published weight and balance envelope for takeoff and landing.
(3) The effect of the parachute jump exit procedures to be used, and how they may affect the aircraft weight and balance and controllability during jump operations. Suitable placards will be required to define any special procedures needed to maintain controllability.
