Moving to the Top End for flying
Hi all,
I am a CPL pilot living in New Zealand with relatively low hours (about 275TT). I recently obtained my pilots license and have plans to move to Australia’s (ideally with a charter company, however I am open to anything) Top End at the start of next year in pursuit of a pilot job as New Zealand’s GA scene is pretty dry at the moment due to COVID. I also have no plans on getting an instructor rating currently due to cost and poor job opportunities (in NZ at least).
Could anyone please give me advice if this is a move that is worth doing, what the job prospects are like in the Top End, and any advice on what to expect with moving, flying and living in the Top End.
Cheers
