What about the part that specifies clearance from clouds? I think it's part 105. Somewhere in there it says: if you're jumping from <10k' MSL you have to have 500' horizontal clearance from clouds, you must be at least 1000' above any clouds and at least 500' below any clouds (I'm not sure I remember the numbers correctly). In any case, it is fairly well established that punching clouds is prohibited by the FAA. Later, - sparkie
