Wondering whether anyone could give me information about jump pilot (parachute drops) jobs in oz or nz?? Hold CPLs for both countries and got 15hours jump pilot experience in a 300hp C182.

Got a B.Av and am also a flight instructor. TT approx. 800hrs.

In actual fact...any info regarding my best chances would be appreciated...any type of flying as long as its flying!!!!

Thanks

BC,
just like almost all jobs in aviation you'll need to be on the spot to get anything,so if your in fiji and want something you'll have to get down here,look up the parachute federation on the net and that will give you a good idea where to go,but they will rape you for your expertise,and pay you peanuts.You'll need ten on type of what ever they are using so if they use 206s like most do you'll have to find 10 hrs.210 time will cover it though.
With those sort of hours why would you want to do that sort of work?
Mate,down here meatbombing is for the bottom of the pile,its either that or scenics.
If you just get down here and get on the spot you should do alright,save yourself the pain with mbombing.
