Read an ad in the NZ Aviation News looking for 5 CPL/C-Cat instructors for the upcoming summer season with Wakatipu Aero Club.
No minimum hour requirements, just hard working people with the right attitude and people skills.
Sounds like a good opportunity to get some VFR ATO experience in the mountains.
Check out your local newstands!!
Good Luck

Sounds more like the aeroclub has some repayments to make on their new C172.
5 pilots = 5 times a minimum 50 hours in the area to possibly get work?
I am thinking very hard about applying for this BUT some things I have been told to take note,
Need to fund mountain flying course of 50hrs @ $225hr ? C172 = a lot of money
and accomidation in Qtown (if you can find it) is very expencive, way beyond the earnings of a C-Cat instructor.

Can't remember the exact wording but I think there was something along the lines of "...no minimum hour requirements as all training provided" Could be wrong tho.
Also from my memory in galaxy far far away, I thought the 50 hours didn't have to be all your own time/cash. Time spent in a spare seat could count towards the hour requirment. Training as a group of three could potentially bring your hours down to 17-ish. Is this case???? or has it been like that in the past but now different??
