Where can information about parachute jumping sites be found?

1. Aeronautical charts

2. Chart supplements U.S.

3. NOTAMs

4. Pilot Operating Handbook

The correct answer is: Chart supplements U.S.

Information about parachute jumping sites is specifically included in the Chart Supplements U.S., which is a comprehensive resource providing details about airports, flight procedures, and additional aviation-related information in the United States. These supplements contain critical data that include the location of parachute jump zones, altitude restrictions, communication details, and any applicable advisories. This resource is regularly updated to ensure pilots have access to the most current operational information. Although aeronautical charts do show various areas of interest for aviation, they are not as detailed for specific activities such as parachuting. NOTAMs (Notices to Airmen) provide temporary information regarding flight safety and changes in facilities, but they are not a comprehensive source for all parachute jumping locations. The Pilot Operating Handbook is specific to aircraft performance and operations, not for general aviation site information. Hence, the Chart Supplements U.S. is the most reliable and authoritative source for locating parachute jumping sites.
