Ethics question on day jumping
Hey guys. I have a question for you caused by an earlier topic. Most would agree it's ok to day jump an object in a remote location, but the definition of remote will vary...which leads me to my question. What criteria do you use to judge whether an object is jumpable in the day? Where do you draw the line?

Some criteria I considered (let me know what you think about these please):

Local population density
Visibility
Quality of object (500' freestander in field vs 300' guyed tower w/ LZ in only 1 section)
Traffic flow
Temperature/conditions for region (below freezing and cloudy vs 70 and beautiful)
Time of year (holidays/etc)



Would you consider a summer dawn jump (early sunrises) to be "dayblazing"? (obviously depends on location...a bank downtown vs an A thats on the outskirts of town)

If you can repeat that day jump within a week, then you're okayWink
