I agree with Cypher - not always what you know.

Skydiving, banner towing, fire spotting, fish spotting, aerial photography, mustering all use new pilots.
And unlike instructing, YOU actually fly the aircraft. If you do not feel you could do the job justice, probably better to stay clear of it. I did.

Oz is an option. Many Kiwis here. TTMRA means license is fully recognised.
Huge percentage of Ag pilots here are ex NZ.
Some individuals slot right in. Some find it very hard. Seen examples of both. Not always related to experience level.

Good luck Kev2002
