FISO
Hi,
Apologies for hijacking the thread but i have some questions about FISO's
I have recently retired at age 52 following redundancy (non aviation related). I've been into all things aviation since the 70's and was looking at self sponsoring a FISO licence. I also hold a lapsed CAA PPL which i will hopefully be revalidating as well.
The question really is what are the chances of getting a FISO position either part-time or ad-hoc or whatever, don't care so much about the pay would just be interested in doing a FISO role but obviously need a position to get the MER aspect.
I'm in the Midlands and having looked at aerodromes with FIS towers within 50-60 miles they don't seem to be overly prolific. Don't mind paying my own way but not to waste it all if nobody wants me or its a bit of a closed shop or reserved for retired ATCO's etc.
Views and thoughts appreciated.
Regards
