Getting a start on Biz Jets

[Howard Hughes]

Hey all,

Just looking for some tips on getting started in Biz Jets, as this has always been my goal in Aviation.

I am a 41 year old pilot with 5200 hrs total experience, including 4500 multi, 3500 multi crew turboprop and 2600 turbprop command.

I have been trying the Biz Jet operators in Australia without much success, probably because there is minimal Biz Jet activity in Australia.

Do any of you have any ideas for possible opportunities elsewhere?

Thanks in advance, HH.:ok:

Do you have rights to work in Europe?, (eg British grandparents etc) If so you will see from other posts on this forum that Netjets is planning expansion over the next few years. I believe they need a full ATPL so you would be eligible.

Thanks FF, I do in fact have a British Passport. Will take a look at getting the JAA ATPL.

Cheers, HH.:ok:

If you can't face the drama of getting a JAA ATPL you could try NJME, they are recruiting too.

Interviews coming up in January I believe.
