Just an off the cuff question... I was wondering if anyone knew what the requirements are to be a CAAFU examiner, and maybe being employed as a staff IRE for example. I am just curious more than anything since I am years away from having the required experience. Do the CAA head hunt people or can you apply for such a position.
Any info would be interesting.....

From what have seen of the chaps.
1. High tolerance of bordom
2. Sick sense of humour.
3. Healthy consumtion of a wee dram.
4. Have a very broad knowledge of everything aviation
5. And an ability to lie when dishing out weights for doing M&B calcs when flying singles. Mind you most exmainers have this ability when a suggestion of not taking full tanks is made.

CAAFU ceased to exist about 10 years ago!
