EASA are looking for a "Flight Crew Training Oversight Expert"

However, EASA must be on planet Zack if they think they are going to find an "expert" at €5500 per month!

[Apate]

Agreed, that's not the salary you'd associate with such a position. However they might get someone who's already picking up a good pension, or someone who's lost their licence?

I'll pass :E

[212man]

I think there are additional allowances and the taxes may be interesting. Additionally, there seems to be a Koln location markup on Brussels salaries, and this may be the standard EU Civil Servant figure before that multiplier?

[hueyracer]

The applicant will be tax exempt in his home country, but will be subject to a European tax.. Between 8 and 25 percent.

The salary in Cologne is slightly lower than in Bruxelles...

The allowances don't change the overall low salary, but this is an interesting job for someone coming to the end of his flying career as it includes a good pension scheme after (AFAIK) 10 years with the Organisation..


But keep in mind those positions are only temporary, usually a 2 or 5 year contract including a 9 months probation period..

NPAS are looking for 4 pilots at their North Weald base:

There no longer seems to be a requirement for an Instrument Rating, just the need:
to demonstrate instrument flying experience.

If it wasn't so time consuming to covert from the CASA/NZCAA to CAA this job could be filled easily. Maybe Brexit will change this.

Does the 139 request mean that they have finally convinced the RN to retire the remaining Dauphins - or just anticipation that sense will finally prevail and bring the FOST contract type up-to-date with a helicopter that doesn't regard those onboard as 2nd-class citizens?

[Channel Flyer]

I have been told of a possible equal time co-pilot position becoming available for someone with a twin rating. It’s a VIP operation. Requirement would be to be on base (near southern UK) for a couple of weeks, then off for a couple of weeks. Lots of sitting about. Not a great deal of flying. The money would be a daily rate sort of agreement but all expenses/accommodation /food/travel will be covered. If you want more info please PM me as I’m unable to find the rotary jobs thread at the moment. I’m also fairly certain that the job will be advertised soon, but this is just an early heads up. I can put you in touch with the guy who makes the calls. Thanks.

Guess it’s an S76, previous crew probably furloughed, and then let go...... as the espionage investigation carries on!

Looks like Babcock/Inaer Spain is looking for Bell 412 pilots again.


Resource group is looking for Bell 412 pilots to be based in Spain.
Must be spanish speaking.


(AFAIR Spanish level 4 is required as well as a valid type rating, an EASA license as well as the right to work in Spain).

Anyone interested contact Jeannette at Resourcegroup:

[sovereign680]

Well I am looking for an type rated AW109 Pilot any EASA license will do, Instrument rating not a must. VIP operation. If interested send me a PM.

NPAS looking for 7 pilots, again!

I know they have the 60 age limit, but why can't they keep pilots? Is £65,000 a year not enough pay for a VFR equal time job? Or is something else making them leave?

No doubt there will be a few more excited R22 pilots awaiting their interview, some who haven’t even flown a twin or scratched the surface of night ops, let alone IFR :rolleyes:

Becoming 60.

[rudestuff]

I think their problem is the application process: loads of police HR mumbo jumbo.

[highrpm]

although there is no twin requirement in the advert, and no IR requirement either. Maybe NPAS should invest in training people?

Precisely my point. We all need a break at some point, but should the stepping stone into flying at night in a degraded visual environment be flying single-pilot for the police? I’d be interested to hear what the bobbies make of it.

Some have made the hop from HEMS co-pilot on complex types with a few years night/NVG to police command which seems a good logical step, but, day VFR R22 with no IR to EC135 night VFR with no IR sounds bonkers. What good is a fresh IR anyway? You can’t legally use an IR single-pilot CAT until you have 100hrs IFR (unless this is permissible on a PAOC). Where do they get the IFR experience to have it as a safe and compliant tool?

[MightyGem]

and no IR requirement either.
That could have been dropped because it wasn't being used by pilots, certainly the ones that I've spoken to.

[highrpm]

Didn’t NPAS sign an agreement with Starspeed for 30 or so IRs? This would be an odd investment if they have decided they didn’t need them - I know of some who moved there on the promise of an IR being paid for by the company and seeing it as an opportunity for personal development. Perhaps the real reason for dropping the IR requirement is that they can’t attract people with the right experience, maybe because pilots are always wondering which base will be next to close...

[Same again]

I spent a few years flying for PAS in UK and I don't understand the requirement for a police helicopter pilot IR which could only be realistically used in an inadvertent IMC situation.

I would agree with that. In recent years a job with NPAS might well be regarded as giving little job security.

[DOUBLE BOGEY]

The good old days with Mark Trumble, Steve Bidmead and Korky running the PAS shop. A great Company to work for and good fun flying. Sadly I think those days are long gone in Police Ops.

[hueyracer]

In a VFR at night scenario, not having an IR is an advantage (i say this as a Chief Pilot).
It will ensure that pilots cancel flights in case of weather that is near their minimums, while pilots with an IR do (at least sometimes) consider their IR as a good backup-plan to have (i know that i did plenty of times)...

Having an IR-especially in the more "complex" modern cockpits these days-is something that requires constant training to maintain proficiency.
If a company/outfit does never use this IR capability-why would they spent tens of thousands of Dollars a year on it?

[Same again]

I know the NPAS thing has changed operational areas somewhat but PAS pilots used to know our own areas like the back of our hands and the local weather conditions. If your ops are VFR and you are professional and experienced enough to avoid IIMC and know how to exit safely, then the IR requirement would surely be a waste of time and money. Even flying IFR/IMC regularly on offshore ops the 6 monthly IFR sim check was never easy.

[MightyGem]

Didn’t NPAS sign an agreement with Starspeed for 30 or so IRs?
No idea I'm afraid.

[highrpm]

So they do see a need for their pilots to be instrument rated, to the tune of £700k. I’d be inclined to agree that any person flying an IFR equipped modern twin at night in marginal VFR should have an IR and the experience to go with it. I accept that those with an IR are more likely to willingly take themselves IMC by accepting the ILS in the ‘back pocket’ as a more commonplace event but if they are appropriately experienced, qualified, and have been diligent in their pre-flight planning there should be no degradation in safety. However, a newly IR’d pilot is neither likely to be experienced or complaint for SP IFR (short of the 100hrs IFR mandated by EASA Part CAT, is this mirrored in the PAOC?). This takes me full circle to my first point, is this a job for a commander who is new to the twin world and night ops?

[Same again]

An IR can only be regarded as an an added safety feature if the pilot has some IFR experience. Simply having an instrument rating, with minimal IFR experience operating Single Pilot, VFR at night with no IFR fuel reserves is an accident waiting to happen - in my humble opinion.

[handysnaks]

I see there are still a few out there who feel having an I/R encourages pilots to insert themselves into cloud whether they are prepared for it or not.

I suspect they would have been the sort of people who, in WW1 didn’t want the pilots to have parachutes because it would discourage them from staying with the aircraft and fighting the enemy.

[212man]

Captain and co-pilot roles are very similar. They both require the same piloting skills and qualifications, although the captain is usually more experienced than the co-pilot. The primary difference is rank - the captain is the senior of the two, and he is accountable for the flight. The co-pilot reports to the captain and takes his orders from him. The captain's additional experience and responsibility means he will earn a higher salary than the co-pilot. The captain also gets to wear four stripes on his uniform, while the co-pilot has three.

Unreal! I wonder if their client knows this is the level of HR muppetry being made public?

Most companies will use this "crisis" to get rid of "old" pilots and those on "good contracts" to get in younger (and cheaper) pilots....
