OK, since no one else is answering and ElCap HAS corrected the spelling, here we go,


- Furgro's a good survey operator in Oz in regards to turbine survey aircraft?
Yep

- International postings are possible through Fugro? How common are they?
Do you get to choose or are you told?
Depends on how good you are, but generally, yes. It's generally arrived at by mutual agreement, but if they need you to go and you don't, then you will lose brownie points.

- Appoximatly 6 weeks on and 3 weeks off still?
Generally so, unless overseas and other considerations exist.

- Min requriements for employment straight onto a single/twin turbine? Or do you have to start somewhere and move up behind everyone else?
Depends on how good you are, but if you're light on experience, then expect to do a reasonable internship. Experience in low-level ops and precision flying is what you need. Ability to get on with other crew members is paramount along with the ability to think on your feet.

- Twin turbine single pilot or multi pilot?
Both. The CASA is multi-pilot, but the Skyvans are approved for and do often fly single pilot.
The Caravans are generally flown multi pilot due to the value of the equipment on board.

- Twin turbines consist of CASA 212 and...?
CASA212 and Shorts Skyvan with Dash-7 overseas.

- Appoximate pay? Still daily rate? Still accom, flights to home city, food etc paid for?
yes
