Hughes500, I suspect you’re likely referring to a rather different entity with a not dissimilar name?

• Minimum of a Commercial Pilot’s Licence (Helicopter) with RT Licence and Class 1 Medical (unrestricted)
I think the ‘unrestricted’ requirement here is the bit that excludes we older knackers.

Thanks handysnaks - I thought it was probably the case - very frustrating since we don't suddenly become incapable of doing the job safely just because the clock ticks past 60.

Yes, it's classed as Public Transport. To be honest, NPAS not withstanding, I was quite happy to retire at 60.

Although I enjoyed the work on them, I can’t say I miss the 12 hour night shifts! Although, who knows what the future holds.

3rd Feb 2022, 12:03
I actually do miss the night shifts - I'm a bit weird like that. Much of the best work was done after 3am in your patch, Handy - really enjoyed the buzz of going from cold to seeing the scrotes getting their collars felt within 20 minutes of the call. Then there would be the out-of-hours calls from non-24-hour forces - even D&C on one occasion, although that was called off before launch.

Having said all that, I can recommend getting a job in whatever they call the utility area these post-EASA days to ease you into retirement. Routinely managing over 4.5 hours a day, frequently more, with 80%+ at around 30-100' agl - what's not to like? I was ready to leave flying at 65 though - the eyesight, although up to the required standard, was never going to match that of the rest of the crew, and being a night-owl I never really enjoyed the getting-up-in-the-morning-and-driving-to-work thing.

Hello Mr. or Mrs. Assisgrass- not a Mi-26 pilot but we specialize in Russian helicopters. I imagine we can find your needed candidates and/or hardware for Mi-26 projects. Not our main aircraft (that would be Mi-17s along with Hind work) but 30 years in Russian aviation means we have good candidates (and not just Russian passports, of course). We are at vtsc.net and my email is gvose@ the same domain.

We may have need for an offshore qualified EC-145 pilot/instructor. This would initially commence as a contract position (90-120 days during summer of 2022) but depending on outcomes, could easily change into a full-time position. 90-120 day contract position would initially involve Night MEDEVAC standby. Russian language skills would be an asset but not essential. Any interested candidates please contact me at [email protected] and include CV. Additional details would be forthcoming to those deemed as suitable candidates.

A lot of people get hired at NPAS then don't pass the type rating and line training. Their recruitment procedure seems at odds with their internal requirements.

That depends on your point of view. In a buoyant market for operators the hours requirement would go up as they could be picky. If buoyant for pilots, the hours requirement comes down because there is a high demand. But in any case that particular job is for a VFR only pilot and that's the statutory minima in SPA.HEMS. Other operators still looking for higher hours (eg Babcock at Norwich Babcock Norwich Captain (https://jobs.babcockinternational.com/Babcock/job/Norwich-Norwich-Captain-Norf-NR6-6EG/764927901/) - 2000 hrs)

The VFR reference was to the NPAS (Police) job. The Babcock P1 job requires an ATPL(H) (which presumes the holder has an IR).

You can have an ATPL(H) without an IR, but I don’t know of any HEMS operators who are not mandating an IR in their recruitment as almost all aircraft used in HEMS are IFR certified, and crews are expected to be able to use that equipment if required.

Bravo73
11th May 2022, 17:10
You know, as well as I do, that the EAAA requires an IR.

Is the ATPL(H)/VFR even still a thing? Because under the skills test requirements on the CAA’s site, it states: “Applicants for an ATPL(H) shall pass a skill test in accordance with Appendix 9 to Part FCL to demonstrate the ability to perform as PIC of a multi pilot helicopter under IFR”. (My bold). But you will know the relevant regs far better than me.

Technically yes, according to the UK regulations, but in practice I can’t imagine it is used often - p136 details the ATPL pre-requisites https://www.caa.co.uk/media/kqzpwgxn/law-1178-2011-feb-2022.pdf

I believe that one of the reasons for removing the IR from the ATPL pre-requisites was that in other countries with no offshore industry where they conduct multi-crew crew load lifting in 332s etc there is no IR proficiency requirement, but there is a requirement to hold an ATPL to command multi-crew operations. But yes, it’s an academic point really, HEMS operators will generally require an IR, in the UK at least.

What's the point of a recent OPC - they are (by definition) Operator specific!

"What's the point of a recent OPC"

Know the area, not the customer or operator. Short-term contract, so looking for mercenary international pilots (as opposed to your nanny state, cradle to grave, hotel must have a manicurist).

My guess is that an LPC + recent OPC would suggest a pilot that needs a minimum amount of training to meet standard. Or taking the Australian approach, test to standard and then add training only as required (only slightly /s).

Pretty standard consideration for short term, also weeds out the non-current in case the customer is one of those "50 hours initial if expired two years".

The problem with FI jobs is the poor pay. Some schools are still only paying £45 per hour and expect you to pay for your own renewals etc. People will not re-locate for an FI job with low pay, and the insecurity of freelance work.

I remember a flight school owner saying "the thing is, instructing isn't a proper job", he expected his FIs to be there all day and only get paid when the engine starts. Then he drove away in one of his multiple high-end cars.

Welcome to everyday in The States for a pilot under 1,000 hours.

My ATPL(H) is restricted to 'Day only' due to not having sufficient night hours on helicopters to make it unrestricted. I know of one other pilot who has just gained a command on a large helicopter with the same restriction.

Nothing dodgy at all. Proof of recent Type simulator and LPC is a requirement of the aviation authority for the issuance of a license validation. This is a short term contract and consequently pays out at top rates. Clear details will be made available to candidates who tick the boxes. Up to 12 hours of FFS training will be made available to candidates that seem suitable but do not have recent simulator time. If a pilot doesn’t like using a Gmail address, they needn’t reply.

Out of interest, why the preference for non medical Technical Crew Members? Would it not be easier/more practical to train your HEMS Paramedics/CCP's as TCM's? This would allow significantly more payload for missions. Not such an issue on the 169, but certainly beneficial if deployed on a 902. This is the crewing model used in the majority of UK HEMS units and seems to work well.

Crewing model in UK HEMS is migrating more and more to 2x aviation front enders and the medical team in the cabin, just like London has always done, (albeit with 2 pilots)

MAGPAS has operated with non licensed, non medical TCM's for 10 years, 7 of those on 902 and that included many shifts with 3 person medical teams in the cabin, due medical training/supervision requirements. As you point out, the 169 has now made all this much easier.

I don't think it will spread any more. The extra pilot is a 90kg dead weight at scene and if it's a choice between a pilot and a parademic or a doc or even fuel I know what the medics would rather have at scene. Night/24 HR ops is different.

Very insightful 😝, but maybe you should consider that the ‘dead weight’ might just avoid dead crew! An extra “parademic” or doc is useless if the aircraft crashes on the way to the incident, on the way to the hospital or on the way back to base. Don’t wish away extra aircrew, as teams are continually asked or expected to do more than a single pilot can reasonable be expected to cope with. That route leads to the USA model 🤪

Or just stick to VFR day only HEMS with single pilot. You cannot have it both ways…

Depends. The UK has single pilot doing NVIS IFR HEMS quite happily with the right aircraft, training and operational support (min 2000 hrs of the right sort of flying - often ex military but not always. In the US they try to do HEMS in marginal VFR with limited IFR skillsets with severe commercial pressure. Different operating environment.

US HEMS VFR mins in uncontrolled class G airspace are 800/2 for local area day flights. Mountainous, non local night flights stretch to 1500/5 unaided. I don't think there is any severe commercial pressure to fly anymore. If in doubt just turn it down. I never got questioned once and pilots that pushed it were given a talking to.

We are looking for someone who can determine the safest routes, analyse flight plans and weather conditions, calculate fuel, and inspect operation systems and navigation equipment during all flight checks.

When any maintenance and daily checks have been carried out the Pilot will be expected to assist with any other departments on board.

We expect anything from 50-100 hours of flying time annually and these trips can range from Airport transport and exploration or any other specific missions. The vessel will be a world cruising program with expected time spent in the US and Caribbean and may venture further afield whilst often spending time in Europe.

There be Dragons!

Get that fully defined, clearly spelled out, and signed in blood, with certified copies.....and remember if it ain't in the Contract....it ain't in the Contract.

Being a Watch Stander on the Bridge.....assisting with navigation or ship. handling when not flying or engaged in aviation related duties....perhaps.

Polishing brass...being a rag wipe or deck swabber.....nope!

Can the single NVIS Pilot land at unsurveyed (crash) sites at night in the UK or is there two "crew" with goggs?

Yes - the single pilot can land at unsurveyed sites on NVIS as long as they have a suitably qualified TCM (aviation trained paramedic) beside them wearing goggles.
