I don’t know the percentage of electronic instruments for an aircraft to be considered EFIS. Ideas for new threads…
For airbaltic’s requirements that people ask…
They also hired this period a Czech guy who was flying a LET410, that’s not an EFIS for sure. Maybe someone will say that if you install an ipad in LET410 cockpit might be considered as EFIS, at least for airbaltic hiring team.
They also hired an Italian guy with 0 hours on aircrafts above 5,7 tones.
But on requirements they ask EFIS and 300 hrs on airplanes above 5,7 tones.
I don’t know if the guys who ask in this thread can just apply without having these requirements or not. Maybe in a post soviet country the soviet mentality remains and is enough to know the right people to skip something. Maybe they are just not so strict.
I any case I think they should apply
Ha! Maybe that is the real reason they do the assessments on a prop sim
It's not the soviet mentality, it's a bad company mentality, you can find it in every corner of the planet.
They treat the pilots like sh#t and who are no any longer bonded and able to leave have already started leaving in after covid situation.
Company will find others to replace them even if they have to ignore the minimum requirements that they have set and now there is no time to wait for some company to collapse so to find qualified but desperate pilots. An airbaltic A220 skidded off after landing in Riga with 6 kt of wind, seems that didn't ring any bell
