operation;
(2) Within or into a Class A, B, C, D airspace area without, or in
violation of the requirements of, an air traffic control authorization
issued under this section;
(3) Except as provided in paragraph (c) and (d) of this section, within
or into Class E or G airspace area unless the air traffic control facility
having jurisdiction over the airspace at the first intended exit altitude
is notified of the parachute operation no earlier than 24 hours before or
no later than 1 hour before the parachute operation begins.
(b) Each request for a parachute operation authorization or
notification required under this section must be submitted to the air
traffic control facility having jurisdiction over the airspace at the
