Jump pilots should be jumpers
Why? I started flying as a drop zone pilot, never jumped out of an aircraft and have no desire to do so!
flying jumpers and then you wont be trying to go as slow as possible in a 206/210
Actually, we were required to fly as slow as practical due to the fact that most of our jumpers were first timers and the drop zone considered it easier for them to stand on the step with slower speeds and idle prop wash. (C172/182)
Soarfeet We all had to start somewhere, for me it was banner towing, aerial photography, glider towing and dropping jumpers.... But this was back in the days when you could do this with a PPL
Dropping jumpers was incredible fun due to the atmosphere of the drop zone.
