How long do JMs have to execute JM duties from a fixed-wing high-performance aircraft to maintain currency?

Jumpmasters (JMs) must execute their JM duties within a specified timeframe to maintain their currency. The requirement is set at one year, which means that if a Jumpmaster does not perform their duties within that period, they may lose their qualifications and need to undergo refresher training or re-evaluation to regain their Jumpmaster status.

Maintaining proficiency is essential not only for the safety of the jumpers but also to ensure that JMs are familiar with current procedures, equipment, and any updates or changes to regulations that may have occurred within that year. Consistent engagement in JM duties allows them to stay sharp and knowledgeable about their responsibilities, ensuring efficient and safe operations during airborne training and missions.
