Flight Instruction - Australia

[deepi_cool21]

Hi . I am a 18 year old New Zealand CPL holder(girl), I am interested in instructing in Australia.
What are the wages like? ie- per ground hour and per flying hour.
I have done the conversion Exams in India and can take ground classes for Indian students for the DGCA conversion .:ok:

Also what is the procedure for converison of a NZ license to an Australian license????

Thanks :)

[Got the horn]

All you need is money to convert to an Oz licence. Let your fingers do the walking and go to caa.govt.nz and look for TTMRA.

[deepi_cool21]

Hey thanks....:ok:
Any idea about the job market for Instructors and salary in Aussie ???

Are you a national of India or newzealand?? Coz if you are from India then you will have problems finding a job in australia unless ofcourse you have an australian PR....

Anyways goodluck with your job hunt:ok:..

Ps.. PM me if you are looking for FI jobs in india...

Nice one. At 18 already got CPL:ok:. I'm 18 too with only PPL with only 63hours logged:{. All the best with the job hunt. My buddies with PPLs are intending to join the Air Force with one enlisting soon.

hey!!!
Well i am an Indian citizen :sad:. Didn't think it would be a problem bcz many instructors @ Canterbury Aero Club are from various parts of the world.Is it just difficult or impossible.

Actually i am more than keen on continuing in general aviation and instructing to me seems a good option as personally i think it is a highly satisfying job to see your student do well. And general aviation in India is not in a very good state at the moment. Although there r jobs there are a lot of other issues.:ugh:


Thanks so much for your guidance will definitely PM you.
thanks again

hey 9V-SKA
thanks a tonn...:)
i knew i wanted to do this since i was 5 !!!
got into it straight after school... all the best for ur CPL.:ok:

[9v-SKA]

Thanks deepi_cool21! I also knew that I wanted to fly very young. My dad got his PPL when I was 1. Maybe that got into my blood. I was rejected by the local youth flying club that sponsors local school students for a restricted PPL. Thought my dream was over.

Then my dad gave me the green light to proceed down under to work on my PPL. Anyway, I don't intend to get my CPL. I guess I'll be joining the Air Force once I complete my studies.

[deepi_cool21]

thats awesome.... Air Force would be a lot more fun i am sure...Good decision.. i wanted to join the Indian Air Force but i /have a slight power in my right eye(-1) so couldn't clear the medical

All The Best...

[harsh786techy]

Its good to hear from so many Indian nationals....
I wpuld like to ltell u that m doing mah CPL course from USA..about get mah PPL...80hrs....I want to be a FI..but in US seems to be a problem now, unless u have a green card...
I am looking for your advice on FI jobs in NZ or Australia...or any part of the world u have researched in....I am a tech graduate too...
will appreciate any comments from you...

[deepi_cool21]

Hi
Well u will have to convert your license to an Aussie license to begin with and get an instructor's rating (flight test and briefings ) .

Also i am not too sure if flying schools in Aussie consider American training standards as good as theirs , but anyway , best of luck...:ok:

[Blue Carpet]

Do you have an Australian work visa?

[deepi_cool21]

nope i do not have one...:ugh:

will need an employer sponsor the visa:sad:

If you have New Zealand PR, you will be able to work in Australia.

[MartinCh]

Lasiorhinus If you have New Zealand PR, you will be able to work in Australia.

what age do you live in? I'm sure you're saying this in good faith, but it hasn't been so for at least couple years. I don't bother to research exact TOD for this rule, but due to abusing NZ as easy path towards OZ, it was stopped.

Only full NZ citizen (current waiting time 5 years residence - not even work permit anymore) can work freely in OZ. Or, OZ residents/citizens can work in NZ freely, but that's because Aussies don't bother going to that wee place where all the youngsters run from right down to OZ or UK..

Deepi, sort it whichever way you want, but being pilot is NOT skilled job in ANZSCO list. I talked about this with a guy that's been doing some charter/air taxi on working holiday (Brit) in OZ in another thread. Too lazy to find it.

Hm, bit envious (I'm working on rotary career, slowly), but I wish you all best. If you're cute, fairly easy way is to be in LTR with Aussie citizen. No need to marry at all, common law relationship (even unmarried couple, not just same sex) is handy. One year of living in genuine relationship (with paper trail), submit residence visa application, you'll get it after another year.
No residence requirements.

Voila.

Not very known. I had such idea if I had got into Dubai and had some Asian Aussie girls around :-D /I know, I'm just a man/
I could only sort papers for UK for my future wife from around the world at the mo :-P Australia is great for gliding as well. Aaah, so lovely.

:eek:Dude! Dont let these chicks know all these stuff!! After pilotshortage,the next thing we're gonna see in INDIA is shortage for goodlooking girls!!:{

[deepi_cool21]

i so hope there was a shortage (pilot shortage)..... and though it is a cool idea but probably not something i can do ...

and i would love for all the other girls to leave...:)

[vinay]

Hi

me too looking for flying schools in AUSTRALIA to get trained as Flight Instructor and work as same there.. I have a FAA CPL.. Wuld u mind sharing yr research if any as to the availability of Instructor jobs in australia.. ?

[Cap'n Arrr]

There are a lot of jobs going in Aus for instructors, however due to the paperwork required, most schools would rather hire an Aus/NZ citizen (or at least with work rights). It is common to get hired on a student visa for 20hrs or less a week, have heard of a few people doing that, and I know a couple who've been sponsored but only 1 or 2. Get in touch with the schools in aus that interest you and ask them about it. Also try D&G for more local information.

[Cap'n Arrr]

eph6 - easiest if you have right to live and work here. You would obviously have to convert from JAA to Aus as well, but easily done through most schools.
