What's the most used parachute drop aircraft in Australia?
I went to a para drop place on the weekend who ran a c206 and after talking with the owners I found it's a waste of time introducing yourself for a job when you don't have a rating on the aircraft the operation uses.
I plan on getting a rating on a widely used drop aircraft but I need to figure out what that aircraft is.
I've been doing a bit of research on a few drop places but can't seem to come up with any answers.
Would any pilots in auzzie know of the most used aircraft for para dropping/charter work?
Also what do you all think about asking for a job at an operation when you don't have the rating for the aircraft in use?
Should pilots go out themselves and get the rating? or should that operator assist to give the pilot the rating?
Any help's greatly appreciated!
