Bush flying, volunteer flying, flying doctor.. etc etc
Hi all, ok let’s give this a go, I’m currently doing my ATPL ground school in the UK, I have 100 hours and a PPL. When I finish my ground school, I’m looking for a way to build up hours cheep. I am a little out the loop on how things are working though.... can anyone help?
Simply, I’m unsure what I need to do what!
What rating/qualifications do I need to be a bush pilot etc.
or a friend mentioned volunteer flying? What do I need for this? Are there people that will just take me with a PPL, or do i need IR, CPL and a load of experience.
If I’m in the UK, will flying in another country be possible, if it’s paid or unpaid? (Australia, Canada for instance)
What do I need to be paid as a pilot?
Thinking ahead, when I have finished the remainder of my training and have a CPL and IR. Does getting a job flying fire planes or bush work benefit me for an ultimate goal of the airlines? If so, again, how do I get there, and what do I need to get a job there?
Please ask if you need any more information regarding my questions.
Thank you!
