The Jet job in the USA is copilot?
Flying a jet as a copilot is child’s play in comparison. In fact, flying a jet is child’s play.
From US part 135 Cargo airline job section. The Beech 99 is an unpressurized King Air flown single pilot usually at night. Even the 1900 mins are lower than the Kununurra job.
Captain Positions
- BE99 Captain: 1,200 TT, 50 ME, 500 XC (defined as point to point), 100 night, 500 PIC, 75 instrument
- BE1900 Captain: 1,800 TT, 250 ME, 500 XC (defined as point to point), 100 night, 1,000 PIC, 100 instrument, 100 Turbine, 121 or 135 experience
I have done single pilot turbine and FO in a jet. If you think flying a King Air around the top end is harder than getting a jet in and outa Chicago in heavy snow, you are mistaken. If it's your leg you fly it.
Are you saying jet FOs in Oz just warm a seat?
