Final report RL 2011:08e, incident involving AT72 and seven skydivers, Gärdet, AB County, Sweden 21
On 21 August 2010 a Golden Air Flyg ATR 72 under ATC control in Class C’ airspace was vectored close to three parachutists who had been dropped from a helicopter as part of an air show because of confusion between the ATC unit with responsibility for the incident airspace and the adjacent unit to which that responsibility had been delegated because it was nearest to the air show site. Additional confusion was caused by poor R/T practice by both ATC units and by different portrayal of a holding pattern on charts held by ATC and he flight crew.
