instructor question

[Craigeedee]

I am about to embark on a fixed wing course to get my ATPL. Mainly fixed wing because of the pay and job oppertunity.

I love flying so enjoy helicopters also.

Just wondering if anybody knew the answer or had any idea if the following is possible.

Once in a fixed wing job and i have come up with enough money and managed to get an instructors licence on a helicopter, would it be possible for the times that i am home and off work to be an insrtuctor.

...depends on the company's philosophy on "outside" flying and how hard they work you to the Flight Time Limitations (FTL).
In my previous existence on the 757/767 I wanted to do some freelance Twin Squirrel Public Transport work and the company said I could do it as long as I:
1) asked for the DFO's permission in advance (not every time, just once...:E )
2) kept the rostering department informed of flying hours to make sure the total limits were not exceeded.
3) did not infringe any statutory days off requirement. e.g. after a Florida "bullet" long haul we needed 3 days off - couldn't legally do any freelance work then.
Depends on whether we are talking Public Transport flying or Aerial Work, I have no idea what category instruction comes under....:confused:

Instruction is classified as aerial work.
