A Skydive Pilot is responsible for flying aircraft used in skydiving operations, ensuring the safe transport of jumpers to the correct altitude and drop zone. These pilots must be highly skilled in handling small aircraft under variable weather conditions and must follow strict safety procedures. The role involves conducting pre-flight checks, communicating with ground crews and air traffic control, and maintaining situational awareness during flight.
Skydive Pilots often work irregular hours, including weekends and holidays, as operations depend heavily on weather and customer demand. They typically work for skydiving companies, tourism operators, or adventure sports providers, and must hold a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) with relevant endorsements and flight hours.
