Plenty of oil buisness in texas
hmm............ pay seems a low. good luck. here is the info for anyone that needs it.
Arik Air commenced operations with their inaugural flight on the 30
th
October
2006 using one of their three newly delivered CRJ900 aircraft. Since
October 2006 the airline has already increased their fleet size by introducing
2 x B737-300, 2 x B737-700, CRJ900 and Hawker800 aircraft. At present
their current fleet provides scheduled domestic passenger services as well
as ad hoc executive services. In August 2007 Arik Air will commence log
haul international services using two wet leased B747-400 aircraft. Further to
this the airline expects delivery of their first 777 aircraft in 2010 which will
facilitate the airlines international expansion.
In consideration of the airlines fast expanding operations they are currently
seeking applications from qualified flight crew personnel for permanent
positions with an operating base in Nigeria. Knowing that successful
candidates will originate from various locations worldwide the airline has
implemented a well structured schedule allowing crew members return home
for four consecutive weeks at a time after eight weeks of service.
Opportunities with Arik Air will offer successful candidates very positive and
attractive long term career prospects with the possibility of command
upgrades and even further possibilities to move on to larger aircraft
types as the airline continues to grow.

Arik Dash 8 has problems locating Port Harcourt
NAF Base was very interesting for a while this morning when an Arik Dash 8 who was given clearance for a visual approach (as is standard as there are no approved IFR arrivals in NAF Base) failed to find the field! He'd obviously slowed down trying to locate it and the aircraft behind was catching up. The tower made things even worse by issuing conflicting instructions as he had the aircraft visual and at one stage all aircraft were told to hold position (presumably all helicopters were expected to hover!) and the Arik was told to climb to 2000 feet and return to the POT VOR and contact Port Harcourt approach to get a new clearance. The NAF Tower controller then got furious when the Arik wouldn't reply to his queries as to his position (as he'd complied with instructions and changed to Port Harcourt approach). I guess it was one of the aircraft leased from Denim Air. Do their pilots get any route training before being released to fly here?

Harmattan is Coming - Know the Area
I was there, and it was a potentially dangerous situation. Thank goodness the weather was good so most other aircraft could see him. If this had happened later in the day when there was a heavy thunderstorm at NAF Base, things could well have turned out very badly. I certainly hope their pilots have proper route training. It's very noticeable that in the last few years the standard of local knowledge and procedures has deteriorated in Port Harcourt as aircraft numbers have increased, more new pilots arrive and commercial pressure is put on to release them to the line with borderline area knowledge sometimes by training staff who may be very experienced but have limited borderline knowledge themselves. With Harmattan due soon, it is to be hoped that all the companies operating out here will ensure that their crews have adequate training for and knowledge of the routes they are going to operate.

Well they should get a brief from the crew they have just taken over from on the rotation,and if they are green,they normally get a third pilot on the jump seat to show them the ropes,i guess VFR with the Harmattan haze can be a bit of a bother.... Around the NAF base.....i guess no water tanks to act as markers like the old Warri strip,the Aero guys used to use in the good old days.Hmmmm it can happen uncertain of your position

hotmj,
All aircraft operating out here are required to have a GPS fitted, there was no Harmattan haze at all this morning (visibility at the time was well in excess of 5 nm) and one thing that NAF has which the old warri airstrip didn't, is around 6000 feet of tarmac not 600 metres!!
Actually on the old Warri strip we used to use the sports stadium and new bright shiny house roofs (especially when they started using either red or blue aluminium in addition to wiggly tin
).

Seems it's not just Arik. Something happened today with a Virgin F50, also flown by Denim Air. He was holding over the POT VOR as the weather at NAF Base was 1500 metres visibility and asking the NAF Tower what the SVFR limits were into NAF for his company! The last bit of the final approach looked pretty amazing as it's not often you see even a small airliner using around 30 degrees of bank below 500 feet to get lined up on a runway when there's no wind! I hope they'll have improved when the Harmattan arrives because if not there's something bad blowing in the wind 
!!! looks like its owerri for me this christmas.

Nothing to do with security. There is no approved IAP for NAF Base, Port Harcourt. It has no navaids. There is an NDB but it has only worked intermittently for the last year and is currently unserviceable. The procedure for a VFR arrival for fixed wing is based on arrival overhead the POT VOR, let down on a radial from that, then right turn to line up for a VMC approach to runway 22.
