I have under 500 hours TT, JAA CPL with IR on the AS355, also have an FAA CPL with IR.
No previous work experience, UK citizen.
If I acquired an R44 type rating, reckon I could pick up some work as a tour pilot somewhere in Europe or in the Canaries as listed above ?
Is 5 years on the ground too long ?
Appreciate your insight.
If you got your IR current, all of the UK offshore operators are currently hiring co-pilots.
PM me if you want some suggestions as to where you could do this.
