Jobs with just a CPL

[Jay_solo]

With Just a CPL/ME or SE (no IR or Instructor rating), what entry level jobs can you do, or are available in the industry? :confused:

Hand j*** and Blow j***, and not a great deal else. Few threads on this.

Banner Towing, Aerial Photography, there is the occasional place that does Scenic Flights for tourists which can be flown on a CPL only.

However these type of jobs are quite rare but are around if you look.

Glider towing and para dropping are also options, those these are often done on (not always) a voluntary basis.

I am looking for a pilot job in South Africa some where.I have only CPL/Ir and i need to build hours.Canm any body help....

Here's a question...if you were a PPL & took along a professional photographer friend who shot away...

...& then you sold the photos, splitting the proceeds, would this be legal or not....?

Out of curiosity.

If the photographer owned the plane and employed you as 'an assistant' and payed you a salary then you would be fine. Other than that what your saying is illegal.

Neither of the above two posts are strictly legal.
