I'm no skydiving expert, but I don't think dive-bombing past your jumpers is SOP.

gotta get back to the LZ to pick up the next jumpers somehow.

You're joking, but I've seen an Mi-8 land before the skydivers it dropped reached the ground to pick up more people.

No skydiving expert here either.
But just for the sake of curiosity, the PC-6 payware (I don't remember the developer) does model a propeller mode used for skydiving ops in the real plane, that allows to nose down like you want to arrive to the deck before the jumpers.
