Jumpmaster
Also known as JMPI · Master Parachutist
Where this one stands
Jumpmaster prep is on the roadmap and not open yet, and of everything on this list it is the hardest to write honestly. The test is mostly performance: a timed inspection, in a fixed sequence, called out loud in front of a grader. A bank that only asked what a candidate can recall would flatter someone who would still fail the lane. So the open question is not when we can write questions; it is what a written question is worth here at all, and that gets answered before anything ships.
Common questions
When does Jumpmaster prep open?
There is no date. The honest blocker is not writing speed. This test is judged on performing a sequence under time, and a recall bank can tell you that you know it while you would still fail it. We would rather solve that than ship something that scores well and helps nobody.
What will Jumpmaster questions be written against?
The official airborne publications that govern static-line operations and jumpmaster duties. We are not naming the reference list on this page until the authoritative current editions are confirmed. A citation to a superseded edition still looks like a citation, which is what makes it worse than none.
Is there anything here for airborne soldiers today?
Pathfinder is the closest: its practice bank is open and free to start, covering sling load, drop zone and pickup zone operations, and air movement, with a citation on every question.
