Thanks to Avyator for answering...

Turkish DGCA wants all foreign pilots to have min 500 hrs before they start Type Rating Training or employment with any Turkish Airline.

Are you sure?

Surer than sure

There is a lot of rumours, someone told me you are still able to do the program but you need a safety pilot during the hole line training up to 500 hrs. If it's true it will probably not stop the training, only raise the price.

Can you confirm 500hrs total time OR on type for employment?

Hello guys!

Please, don't you now any person or email address where you can try to apply for a FO position even if they do not advertise?
I'm type-rated with roughly 1600 hours on type.

Thanks in advance

Fulcrum -- go try an agency
and the rest --
The 500 hours total time is a condition for FOREIGN pilots to give TURKISH pilot equal chance of employment. 500 hours are total time not TIME ON TYPE. The statement said 'NO FOREIGN PILOT SHALL BE IN THE RIGHT HAND SEAT UNLESS THE PERSON HAS 500 HRS TOTAL TIME'. It has nothing to do with Line Training or safety pilot shizzle.

Hi.

The statement says '500hrs in multi-crew airplanes' not TT.
For people who know turkish this is the link to the page of the Turkish CAA.

Do Pegasus take type rated people or do you have to train with them first?

As long as you are willing to pay, it doesnt matter whether you are type rated or not

Good Luck

Mr GinoPino

hey guys...unfortunately i do not speak Turkish...but i'd like to know if does this document says from when this rule will be applicable?! any starting date?! any information appreciated!

sunturk1

bradyyeager

This means that the people that had signed with the company before this date don´t have these requeriments???

Good flights

sunturk1

People who started ground school before this date are unaffected.

this is truly amazing

The new reules are as fallowing:

To be employed with a turkish airline as a FO, the FO need to have 1500 total time and 500 hours on type. Will make it very hard for many TRTO that sells line training to pilots in Turkey.

Good for young turkish pilots.

Where did you get the information about the 1500TT? I didn't find any official document stating this.
The memo issued by the civil aviation only states 500 hours in multipilot airplanes
Let me know

sunturk1,

I saw the same information as corppilot74 about the 1500 hours TT in Pegasus Airlines jobs, payscales and entry requirements.

However, if you read the Turkish DGCA memo you will see that 1500 hours multi crew is a requirement only for Captains, not for F/O's...

So probably the one who wrote this comment in www.ppjn.com is wrong...

Safe flights,

sunturk 1,

if you are from turkey, then don't worry. They need turkish pilots.

good luck

sunturk1

Hey corppilot.

I am not worried. Luckily passed that phase long time ago. Just interested into what's going on.
I also think somebody got confused here with the requirements for captain. (1500hrs)
Still think the only requirement for foreign pilots is 500 multicrew
