Very few aircraft used in skydiving require two pilots. Usually the SIC is someone who already has skydiving operations experience. Casa-212s, DC-3s and the Shorts 330 are the only two pilot required jump planes I know of in the USA.

Great thread. As someone completely ignorant about these operations, can one of you explain what training a new jump pilot gets, and what special skills and demands makes one a good jump pilot (and what deficiencies makes one a bad jump pilot)? How many hours do you all rack up, and how is pay determined? Sounds like a fantastic part-time gig if one can get the skill set down. Thanks.
