I didn’t see any final conclusions to the questions, maybe I missed it- Does anyone have specific information that they can point to: STC, Abnormal Procedures, Etc…. That can direct me to authorization of removal of the main cabin door for inflight skydiving- I have a 337E (full size door) and have been approached by a special forces group, that would like to train in the 337, as they will be using these overseas-
Thanks so much!

AC 105-2E would be the source of information for sport parachuting. Unfortunately, the more recent versions of this AC dropped the door removal information, but the earlier AC 105-2C mentions an STC SA190SO for the 337A. I've not found a copy of that STC. Without relief in the POH, the only alternative would be a local Field Approval.

Wouldn't jumping put you awfully close to that rear prop if your suit had a lot of drag, or you got snagged onto something?
