Jump Pilot Rating
Cougar,
you might just go to a drop zone and talk to the pilot(s) there.
I continue to find it "amusing" that people consider/think that flying jumpers is an easy road to go down. Outside flying AG, flying jumpers is potentially thye most lethal form of flying that you can get involved in.
Of the hundreds of wannabes that have spoken with me over the years, most are only looking for a steping stone to somewhere else.
It takes a long time to train up a jump pilot to the stage that they are able to do the job consistantly well. ie ..not frightening the jumpers and the operator.
It is all about aptitude, airmanship and dedication to task, unfortunately the first two are in VERY short supply these days.
