Any non passenger daytime only commercial work out there ?
 

I have a UK CPL and IMC rating and FAA CPL/IR as well as 1000 hours and 500 instruction (all SE so far)

Due to colour "blindness" my license is restricted to "daytime only" and "no passenger transport" - but as you can't keep a good man down I would like to know if there are any operators out there who conduct day only operations such as pipeline survey, parcel delivery, coastal patrol or anything similar that might pay a wage and keep me flying ?

Come on somebody must have a lucrative contract to spot Dolphins and Whales off the west coast of Scotland for the summer season :)

I'm afraid you are posting to the wrong forum (although I'm not sure what would be the right one here). The freight dogs here are mostly involved in a 5 to 120 tonnes capacity birds and business around such birds rather than single-engine and/or one man crew things...

Thanks Cargoone !


That explains the deafening silence:\

Also a lot of the people here have not been daytime current for many years:}
Wonder why i still have sunglasses in my flightcase!!

Neil, I will leave you to your nocturnal lifestyle but as you guys and girls are well advanced in your careers perhaps you would keep your ears close to the ground for anything that might get me sorted. I do have an exciting opportunity that I have fingers crossed for but it is taking a bit longer than expected hence my post (always have a plan B):)

Neil,
Have you been sleeping on the job?:cool:
Dust 'em off, I've been using mine the last couple of weeks!

Unfazed,
You know mate there are a few jobs in Africa that u might be interested in, there is alot of daytime bush flying in Botswana (8-900 hours a year and not bad salary) and also some bush jobs in Tanzania and a very few in Namibia. Give it a go, u never know!

keep them there....just in case you divert to italy.
"it's never too dark to be cool....":cool: ;)

Yes, Africa is where I would be headed. Plenty of day flying down there as Jetstream said. Don't hold your breath for a Every man and his dog would sell his mother for a job like that.
