This post goes into more detail about why I think a Technomancer still gets his Matrix Perception bonus while jumped in rigging a drone.

Straight out the box Technomancer rigging any drone.

Technomancer "jumps in" to his drone to investigate a building. According to the section of 4A page 245 all his actions are now Matrix Actions.

Rigger starts looking for a way in and the GM calls for a Perception Test.

Because everything the rigger does is a Matrix Action it would normally be
Computer+Analyze+Technomancer Perception Bonus +Hot Sim

However the riggers chart on page 247 says that a jumped in perception test is

Sensor+Perception

If you are going to still allow the hot sim bonus because it is a matrix action then you have to also allow the TM Matrix Perception bonus because it is still a Matrix Perception check and the "jumped in" rules just say it uses a different Skill + Attribute.
