jumpmasters
Skydive drop coordinators
Jumpmasters are military personnel or civilian instructors responsible for supervising parachute jumps.
They inspect equipment, control when jumpers exit the aircraft, and ensure safety procedures are followed.
The jumpmaster gives the final commands—Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door—and determines whether conditions are safe for the jump.
