DHC-6 Skydiver Operations

Pilots

does anyone have information about skydiver operations in a Twin Otter? I am interested in climb & descent rate and all valuable information that are essential to perform the complete drop off.

Thanks
Andre

get in touch with Perris Valley Skydiving or Skydive Arizona. They operate a whole gaggle of them and would be able to answer most of your questions!

It seems that C208s and PAC750XLs do the job much better at lower costs. Hard to find anyone using even a turbine twin. (Where are the Skyvans now, anyway?)

While we're on this, why did they axe the Let 410 that was in use at Caloundra a few years back? Did the noise lobbyists finally get their way, or did it turn out to be a dud anyway?
