So,

Adios,

I dont understand the whole ATPL stuff. Do I HAVE to get ATPL to be able to do things like aerial photography, sky diving, airtaxi?

I was under the novice impression that this was only if i wanted to fly for the airlines that i had to have ATPL.

If i wanted to do the kind of work listed you mentioned in your post - what ratings and licences do i HAVE to have. I dont suppose you have any idea also what the pay margins for a job like this would be?

Last year I met the chief pilotof salt spring air which operate out of vancouver island and he said that he became a payed pilot in 2 years - I thought i understood this to be just his PPL and CPL and then he was in a payed job?

Thanks to every1 for replying so far you been very helpful, sorry for the late response i lost this thread and then Nashers found it for me - Thanks!
