Flight Test Eng in Aus
HI everyone,
I have a BEng (aero) and a PPL that i am slowly turning into a CPL. Currently i am employed in Aerospace as a Strucutral engineer. I am keen to move into flight test engineering and i was wondering if anyone could give me a headsup on companies in australia that do this kind of work. The only one i can think of at the moment is QANTAS but there must be some others out there too. I am interested in fixed wing, rotary, large aircraft or small. Anything that flies basically. Thanks |
Gippsland Aeronautics in Australia manufacture the Airvan. The Pacific Aircraft Company in New Zealand. Both these manufacturers make single engine utility aircaft, therefore if anywhere these may present some opportunities for FTO/FTE work, you would probably need to work in some other specialisation and have the FTE duties as a secondary role. You may need to keep an eye out for vacancies at these companies and expect to wait several years for the desired position to arise.
