Here are your references:
4-4-4: A ball which touches a player or official is the same as the ball touching the floor at that individual's location.

4-35-3: The location of an airborne player with reference to the three factors of article 1 (inbounds/out of bounds, frontcourt/backcourt, outside/inside the three point line) is the same as at the time such player was last in contact with the floor or an extension of the floor, such as a bleacher.

In your play the ball gains FC status as soon as the airborne player touched it, due to his having jumped from the FC. It's a violation as soon as he lands in the BC.
