A further bit of thread creep.

airpolice
The RAF allow people to fly without having a CPL or even a PPL, so why not the Police?
and the Army & RN

Jeez, there are enough gripes and bad feeling of, 'Why do all the Air Ambo/Police jobs go to ex-military pilots' already, we surely don't need another. (By the way, out unit is 50/50 mil/civ line pilot split)

However, looking at the quote, who in their right mind is going to pay for 1500hrs tt, 500 hours twin, 50+ night etc 'under instruction and then realise that they don't have the required PIC hours for these jobs?
Kind of narrows the application profile!


there will be no shortage of ppl(h) applicants prepared to operate an R44 with a PCSO sitting beside them. All this for £12,500 a year and pay your own pension.
And here's me thinking I knew what that first 'P' stood for!
