On 12/3/71, [REDACTED], telephone [REDACTED], advised as follows:
Q. [REDACTED], given the following set of circumstances, the Boeing 727 which you are generally familiar with, the rear stairway flying at 10,000 feet through clouds at about 178 knots on IFR Flight, what would be the conditions that would exist as soon as the cabin was depressurized?
A. As soon as the hatch was cracked, there would be depression matters of the aircraft. The lowering of the stairwell would create a effect on the entire aircraft because the air flow is disrupted here which would naturally effect the aircraft.
Q. This would have no material effect on the jumper physiologically at this altitude?
A. No, not at 10,000 feet.
Q. This would be a very practical altitude in which to jump?
A. Certainly.
Q. Would this be an ideal type aircraft from which to make a daylight or night jump?
A. Yes.
