police/air ambulance pilots

[fastback]

Does anyone know what experience and qualifications are required for police and air ambulance pilots in the UK.

Also who`s the best person to speak to down at Gloucester.

Thanks

Home Office guidelines state
1500 hr's total
500 twin
50 (I think ) night
They also state that ex military is preferable but I don't think thats relevent these days.
Just direct the letter to the Ops Manager or Personnel

Speak to Director Operations or the Group Chief Pilot on 01452 857999. Best of luck!

Marco had the phone number. The head of Human Resources (posh title for personnel department)is Sue Barns.

Good Luck.

Many thanks for the information.

Time to decide if I want to do shift work again.

Might Gem - you do Paddy a great honour by promoting him to PAS Chief Pilot. He is in fact the Chief Training Captain. David Russell is the Group Chief Pilot.

Is there only one Company now doing this type of employment? Do AirOmega and MacAlpine's still supply Pilots?

[suckback 6]

Yes, Macs as OSS were and aeromega and Bond Air services all supply Police pilots. Sloanes also provide Air ambulance pilots

[MightyGem]

tbc, Paddy's such a good guy he should be the chief pillot.

OSS is now called MAS Ltd (McAlpine Aviation Services Ltd). Not to be confused with PAS's MAS (Medical Aviation Services. The name change was done to make the connection with McAlpine Helicopters more obvious. http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/cool.gif

what is a pillot?

[Chip Lite]

Similar to a pillock? :)

[MightyGem]

Pillots fly airyplanes and helichopters, I are one. ;)

And yesterday you couldn't even spell it? As the saying goes...
