24-6. Jumpers should take the following actions during IMC: Check body position and count. Check canopy and gain canopy control. If the jumper has any type of malfunction or any reason to believe they are falling faster than fellow jumpers, they immediately activate the reserve parachute using the pull drop method, since the jumper cannot effectively judge the rate of descent. Keep a sharp lookout during descent. Do not slip, except to avoid collisions, until after breaking through the clouds. Give lower canopies the right of way; higher canopies slip to avoid them. Recheck the canopy. Make this check after breaking through the clouds if the canopy could not be checked while in the clouds. Prepare to land. Do not release equipment until the ground can be seen and it is clear below.Immediately after lowering combat equipment, slip into the wind and prepare to land. Land. Execute a proper PLF.
