Jobs with PPL in Rotterdam
Hi everyone,
I am working to earn my PPL, later on earning before CPL and ATPL.
Would like to know what kind of jobs can i do with my PPL in Rotterdam (or around there).
I would like to earn my flying hours and also save up money for CPL and ATPL.
Any suggestions other than being a PPL flight instructor?
Thanks in advance guys.

I am sorry to say I don’t have any advice for you.
But I'd like to hear others views on having a PPL license and becoming a PPL instructor... has anyone ever been able to secure work from this?
I just cannot imagine FTO's being comfortable with an instructor who can’t fly IFR in an emergency weather situation if required - and having an instructor who has only marginally more hours than the student they are instructing?!

You need a CPL to earn money working as a pilot
You can't earn money with a PPL.
"no person who holds a private pilot certificate may act as pilot in command of an aircraft that is carrying passengers or property for compensation or hire; nor may that person, for compensation or hire, act as pilot in command of an aircraft"
The only exclusion on this is to be a Flight Instructor, but you still cannot be paid for this.
There are certain requirements for entering the course too, see below:
Most schools apparently are happy to recruit graduates from their FI courses, how true that is I don't know but considering they would be working for free, I wouldn't be surprised by it.
Have a good think, if you are keen on getting your CPL and IR, maybe doing your CPL first is a good idea, before your FI rating, it contributes some hours and lets you earn $$$, not much though remember.

- Hold a valid pilots licence, which includes a valid Single Engine Piston (Land) rating
- Meet the knowledge requirements for the grant of a JAR CPL (A)
- Have at least a CPL (A) or have completed at least 200 hours of flight time of which 150 hours as Pilot-in-Command if holding a PPL (A)
- Have completed at least 30 hours on Single Engine Piston powered aeroplanes of which at least 5 hours shall be in the 6 months preceding the pre-entry flight test).
- Have completed at least 10 hours instrument flight instruction of which up to 5 may be in a simulator.
- Have completed 20 hours cross-country flight time as PIC of aeroplanes including a cross country flight of 540km (300nm) with full-stop landings at two other aerodromes.
- Passed a specific pre-entry flight test within the 6 months preceding the start of the course.

Gordon,
You are incorrect my friend:
Specific requirements for the PPL aeroplanes - PPL(A)
FCL.205.A PPL(A) - Privileges
(a) The privileges of the holder of a PPL(A) are to act without remuneration as PIC or copilot on aeroplanes or TMGs engaged in non-commercial operations.
(b) Notwithstanding the paragraph above, the holder of a PPL(A) with instructor or examiner privileges may receive remuneration for:
(1) the provision of flight instruction for the LAPL(A) or PPL(A);
(2) the conduct of skill tests and proficiency checks for these licences;
(3) the ratings and certificates attached to these licences.

No probs.
FAQ Answer | EASA Transition | Personal Licences and Training
Note 2: Under Part-FCL the holder of a PPL with FI rating may be paid to give instruction for the PPL and LAPL. The 2012 amendment of Schedule 7 of the Air Navigation Order allows the holder of a UK PPL(A) with FI to be similarly remunerated for providing instruction.

So it would cost you just as much in hour building to get an instructor rating on a PPL as it would on a CPL, so you may as well just get the CPL then the FI, then worry about the IR later on.
