Essential Requirements

2500 hours TT & minimum 1500 hours Command.

Desirable Requirements

Twin Otter Type Rating
I think the above would probably narrow the competition down though. Great experience all the same

You'll find the 'diversity statement' on every public sector job these days.

Will they really find someone with those hours willing to do the job? Ok, if I had the hours I'd jump at it, so I guess I just answered my own question.

<heads off to dig out friends number who works for the BAS, figure they might have need of a safety pilot >

I have become friends with somebody who has done this job and he assures me it is bloody hard work. Ever tried refuelling a twotter in the really really really freezing cold by yourself using 50 gallon drums of fuel?
