It's not cinematic, it's simplistic and insulting.Why?You can never learn everything in life, either.Actually, landing a parachute involves properly performing a PLF, and while it is a subset of tumble, if you do it wrong, you've eaten dirt and have a sprained shoulder at least, broken hips and back at worst. Piloting a parachute is like nothing else, and making it a subset of pilot is the same as saying because you can drive a car, you should be able to strap on a chute and perform a HALO jump.In our game, our PC's pack thier own chutes. We have to do an Airborne Check (DC: 10) for a normal chute. My character is a Jumpmaster trained, so he gains a +2 on his Spot checks to see if one is mispacked.And yes, I do pay attention to whether or not my d20 Fantasy players do maintenance on thier gear. You sheathe a bloody sword, it might get stuck the next time you try to yank it out.While it's cinematic, it ought to have a little realism.</blockquote>
