Hi there, Im 23 and just starting my flying career. I have my Canadian commercial, Multi IFR, and Instructor rating. I’m presently flying charter work and instructing on the west coast of Canada. At some point in my life I would REALLY like to fly humanitarian supplies etc… in Africa. IE Red Cross etc… I was wondering if someone could tell me just how abouts one manages to get into something like that? Are most of the Aid missions subcontracted? What licenses are needed (FAA/JAA etc?) what sort of time and experience is usually needed? What sort of non aviation things are needed? Do you have to be a citizen XXX to work?
Id love to hear any comments or suggestions! I figure this is something that will take a few years to get too, but I guess now’s the time to start!
