Does anyone know the training syllabus for newly arrived aircrew? Bristow have stated that there will be a nine month training period for newly arrived pilots and approximately six months for rearcrew.
New pilots out there now doing O&G and periodically dipping their toe in the SAR pond.
I was thinking more of for those going through the Managed Transition. It is for them that time will be tightest. On a concurrently running thread, a load of experienced ex-military pilots bemoaned how paltry their conversions to type have been in civil aviation compared to what they experienced in the military. Therefore it is encouraging that Bristow have declared nine and six month conversions for pilots and rearcrew respectively. I am just curious about how and where those months will be spent. There will be an awful lot of people to convert in a relatively short space of time. I imagine the NVG package will take about a month or so but how do the rest of the training syllabuses break down?
