Flugtak tells it how it is.
For some reason FI hours are not counted as valued experience, but Safety Pilot (Pilot's assistant) hours in a single pilot operation carry more weight when negotiating pay. Rostering could be better; it usually comes out 3-4 days before start of the next roster period. Would suggest paying for your own rating at Flightsafety if offered a job on the Kingair, as the bond is pretty extortionate, and am pretty sure it would come to less than £17k.

Great flying, with good variation. Couldn't really fault the flying part of the job, pity about the pay and conditions though.

No known vacancies on the Air Ambulance at the moment.
