Hello Everyone, just thought I would post this as you can see I dont post alot, because I dont know alot, but as a novice skydiver and proffesional Air Traffic Controller, I know a little on this one. If the DZ is at a non-controlled field then the pilot of the plane is required to make a broadcast on (CTAF) also reffered to as Common Traffic Advisory Frequency to let all the other planes in the area know of skydiving operations, and crossing runways and taxiways should be no problem because of everyones awareness of the operations. However if the airport is a controlled airport then the ATC facility is required to (sterilize) the airspace in the event of Jumping operations therfore as a controller I know that a jumper will not be carrying a radio to communicate with the tower upon landing so I can expect him or her to walk to where he needs to be after landing unless other preparations have been made for pickup. but if those had been made you would know about them I would think, but just remeber it is called an airport for a reason and it would be in everyones best interest to look for a landing plane befor crossing any active runways.
