Meatbombers & ex Jumper Dumpers. Help..
Hey, just wondering what I should do from here. I've got 300TT, super keen to become a jump pilot. I realize I need to hang out at DZs etc and make myself known, work as ground crew to get to know the operation and prove my worth, however theres 2 options that I can see:
Pay $3500 for 10hours in a C182 and a further $1700 for my JP Authorisation
Or
Pay $3600 for a 750xl endorsement/rating and $1000 for an extra 5hours in the XL which includes JP Authorisation?
Am 100% on being in an XL eventually, grew up around Crescos in NZ, loaded them in Ag ops for 3 years but don't want to go Ag anymore. Have always been keen on DZs etc. Starting my AFF in 2 weeks so I can have an excuse to hang around a DZ.
Will my Aus JP Authorisation convert to NZ easily?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
