P51!

We have a lot of unemployd pilots here, quite a few with rather good hrs to!

And you also have to convert your license!
We are talking several months in school as well as a few hours in the air. Maybe 15-25 hrs twin dep on experience and background.

So my advice is, Forget it! Itīs waist of good money, at least at the moment!

Good luck with your flying carrer!

Question

thanks for your advise
what are the minimum requirements over there anyway? what about becoming an instructor? 500 hrs where I live just cuts it with the smaller operators.

Well!

For the majors 1500hrs total incl 500 turboprop!

For the regionals i guess about 1000 total and 200 multiengine preferably turboprop but not essential!

Swedish ATP written is essential!

Taxi and smaller chartercompanys!?
Well it depends what you can offer them,with regards to trainingcosts, other skills etc!

Itīs no walk in the park for newcommers up here i would say! Trust me i spent seven years in the so called flyingswamp up here before i finally could move up to the "shiny" jets!

/M
