Jump Pilot Approval

Polair 911
go to the APF web site and read the jump pilot manual; the answers to your questions are in there.
Things have changed a fair bit including the requirement to have a "jump pilot approval" issued by the APF before you can fly jumpers these days.
You could go to your local drop zone and see how they do it; talk/ask the local drivers about the skill set required it is demanding flying, to become efficient at it, if you choose to develope your skills that way.
