Narrative:

Flying several flts (15+) of jumpers for accuracy and student training, normally work abq center with a discrete for flight advisories, also local unicom on other radio for advisories to traffic and ground personnel. Called 2 mins prior to drop of jumpers over eloy para-center and cleared for traffic. After jumpers gave 'cut' signal announced 'jump X descending to the (direction)'. During descent at fairly steep angle looking down and both sides caught a glimpse of a high aircraft below me (and in some direction to northwest) and rolled right about 90 degree to clear him. Apparently he had overflown the jump area (southeast to northwest) as I was in close on the northwest corner of the E60 airfield area. Usually abq center will monitor and advise of observed traffic, also other pilots and ground crew at para-center will advise of observed lower level aircraft. The observed aircraft, a small small aircraft, probably did not 'skin paint' for there was no abq center warning or comment. There was a NOTAM on file for the jumps and radio announcements on center frequency (125.4) and unicom (122.8). This apparently was a transient aircraft flying parallel to the tucson/phoenix highway (and VFR/VMC). We have good relationship with abq center and are known to most local (az state) pilots and do not have 'hairy' flts. Knowledge of the area, knowledge of the map symbols, and the NOTAMS by transients would alleviate the few sightings of light aircraft crossing the field area during filed jumping hours. Workload allowing, abq center does give TA's to VFR aircraft who request it.

Title: AFTER PARACHUTE JUMPERS HAD LEFT ACFT AND PLT OF JUMPER ACFT WAS CIRCLING AND OBSERVING JUMPERS, SIGHTED SMA ACFT FLYING THROUGH JUMPER AREA. NO ADVISORY.

Narrative: FLYING SEVERAL FLTS (15+) OF JUMPERS FOR ACCURACY AND STUDENT TRAINING, NORMALLY WORK ABQ CENTER WITH A DISCRETE FOR FLT ADVISORIES, ALSO LCL UNICOM ON OTHER RADIO FOR ADVISORIES TO TFC AND GND PERSONNEL. CALLED 2 MINS PRIOR TO DROP OF JUMPERS OVER ELOY PARA-CENTER AND CLRED FOR TFC. AFTER JUMPERS GAVE 'CUT' SIGNAL ANNOUNCED 'JUMP X DSNDING TO THE (DIRECTION)'. DURING DSCNT AT FAIRLY STEEP ANGLE LOOKING DOWN AND BOTH SIDES CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF A HIGH ACFT BELOW ME (AND IN SOME DIRECTION TO NW) AND ROLLED R ABOUT 90 DEG TO CLR HIM. APPARENTLY HE HAD OVERFLOWN THE JUMP AREA (SE TO NW) AS I WAS IN CLOSE ON THE NW CORNER OF THE E60 AIRFIELD AREA. USUALLY ABQ CENTER WILL MONITOR AND ADVISE OF OBSERVED TFC, ALSO OTHER PLTS AND GND CREW AT PARA-CENTER WILL ADVISE OF OBSERVED LOWER LEVEL ACFT. THE OBSERVED ACFT, A SMALL SMA, PROBABLY DID NOT 'SKIN PAINT' FOR THERE WAS NO ABQ CENTER WARNING OR COMMENT. THERE WAS A NOTAM ON FILE FOR THE JUMPS AND RADIO ANNOUNCEMENTS ON CENTER FREQ (125.4) AND UNICOM (122.8). THIS APPARENTLY WAS A TRANSIENT ACFT FLYING PARALLEL TO THE TUCSON/PHOENIX HIGHWAY (AND VFR/VMC). WE HAVE GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH ABQ CENTER AND ARE KNOWN TO MOST LCL (AZ STATE) PLTS AND DO NOT HAVE 'HAIRY' FLTS. KNOWLEDGE OF THE AREA, KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAP SYMBOLS, AND THE NOTAMS BY TRANSIENTS WOULD ALLEVIATE THE FEW SIGHTINGS OF LIGHT ACFT XING THE FIELD AREA DURING FILED JUMPING HRS. WORKLOAD ALLOWING, ABQ CENTER DOES GIVE TA'S TO VFR ACFT WHO REQUEST IT.
