Didn't we just have a thread on this? Geez, try using the search window at the upper left before starting new threads. This has come up 3 or 4 times this year. The insurance at most places with Otters requires 1200 hours, anyone telling you less is shining you on. If I were insuring Otter pilots I would want 1200TT, CFI and 250 hours of drop zone experience unless higher standards are offered (turbine and/or lots of total time). Be aware that drop zones use their turboprops to draw low-time pilots in with false promises. You start as an Otter pilot or else you don't go there.

Climb to 350 has ads for pilots for these airframes quite often. Drop zones grouped around the major US cities commonly use Otters, King Airs, CASAs, Caravans and a variety of similar turboprops to lift jumpers to altitude.
