Apologies, you said you were having trouble understanding the award, i'll try and help you with it.
Above link is the latest award just incase.
Multi engine UTBNI 3360 kg $42,772 for Captain
Before we go on the Standard Rate is currently defined as "standard rate means the minimum salary for a Captain single engine UTBNI 1360 kg in Schedule B divided by 52" which is 36,734/52 = 706.42.
Not entirely sure what sort of operation your doing add the following as appropriate:
(a) A pilot flying a piston engine aircraft engaged on commuter operations will be paid an additional allowance of 183% of the standard rate per annum.
($1292.75)
(b) A pilot (excluding Fokker-28 pilots) required to hold and exercise the privileges of a Senior Commercial Pilots’ Licence or Airline Transport Pilots Licence by their company or CASA (or who operates under an exemption from holding that licence) will be paid 604% of the standard rate per annum.
($4266.78)
(c) A pilot flying a turbo-prop aircraft will be paid 797% of the standard rate per annum.
($5630.17)
B.1.4
Pilots (excluding Fokker-28 pilots) who are required to carry out flying using an instrument rating will be paid an additional allowance as follows:
Instrument flying rating
Percentage of standard rate
Command or Class 1 732%
($5171.00)
The bold parts are my working out, so assuming your required to hold an ATPL, flying M/E UTBNI 3360kg, with a CIR on Turbo-prop you'd be entitled to
$59,132.7. Your overall package will be higher if you have overnights of course and I honestly never could work out the stupid NT District Allowance anyway!
Keep in mind also there are additions for use of an Instructor Rating and/or Training other pilots, CFI, Senior Base etc...etc...
Any more specific questions feel free to ask.
