How many people know this type of info about their DZ?
Really, too many factors come into play. You have year-round DZs and seasonal DZs, and within each catagory, there will be DZs that are open 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 days per week. Comparing them becomes tough when you have such a variety of days open per year.
Just wondering, why do you ask? My feelings are if I can show up to a DZ and make as many jumps as I want, the place is 'busy enough'. If I want to make 7 or 8 jumps per day, and they fly 25 loads and I get on every 3rd load, good for me. If they fly 8 loads, and shut down in between each one so I have time to pack, and I make every load, also good for me.

I have a lot of Cessna DZ friends that ask how can I possibly enjoy going to such a 'busy' drop-zone as mine.
It's simply because I an jump all day at my pace and not have to wait for a load...it's just 'busy enough'
Sure. 11 Otter loads is 231 slots, and it's not hard for a busy DZ to swing that. Consdier that on the weekends, some busy DZs are running two Otters non-stop, which could be 20+ loads (per plane).
So that's 40 loads per day, which equals 861 slots/day on Sat and Sun, for a weekend total of 1722 slots. If you're looking for a yearly total of 93k, that's 1788 per week, so a busy weekend takes care of most of their weekly quota. So factor in some weekday activity, and some weather days, throw in a boogie or big-way event (or both), and there you go.
One day this summer my home DZ had about 300 tandems on Saturday and another close to 200 on Sunday IIRC. They had two otters a sky-van & a caravan running nonstop.
I can't spring out the doe like the million airs above. (spelling is as intended)
