Hello, I am from Spain and currently living in Norway as an exchange student.

When I finish my career, I´m going to start studying for becoming a pilot, first PPL and then CPL, ME and IR. Afterwards, maybe I go to Canada to try to find a job and getting experience, maybe I study my CPl there because people have told that there are much more work as a pilot than in Spain (Spain is getting through a very hard crisis).

I am living near Oslo since two months ago and I must recognise than I love this country, I love the landscape, the people, the norwegian women, the cold but sunny weather...

Would it be possible finding a job as a pilot in Norway without spaking norwegian???

I mean flying cessnas, caravans, beech 1900, b-200...whatever¡¡

Would you advise me learning norwegian language or it would be better some like french, german...wich are spoken by much more people.

Thanks a lot.

Well, should I try to get a job in Spain without speakin Spanish? Or working in the US without speaking English? Don't think that is an option. Honestly, but good luck to you.

Of course¡¡

Well, first of all, thanks for your answer.

In Spain there are pilots in spanish companies than can hardly say "hola", which means hello, sometimes it´s enough having type rating, fluent english and high experience.

Hence my questions.

Hola.

The language thingy has to do, among other things with emergency evacuations and such.

Say your King Air is on fire and you have to explain to the little old Norwegian lady how to get out after the landing..Except she don't speak no Espanol or Ingle.

Having been in the seat of the Chief Pilot and having selected C.V.s for pilot positions, I picked candidates with skills such as communicating in the local language in addition to hours and ratings.

That being said, I have also worked in Arab speaking countries without knowing the language, but that was because the local airline had no other choice but to hire foreigners.

Not so in Norway, plenty of warm bodies to fill the seats and in a pinch they hire the odd token Swede or Dane..

Dito!

Guess it depends a bit.
I know plenty of people who have been hired around Europe as Norwegians, with only English as a second language.
As long as its a two-pilot operation, and at least one speaks the local language, I guess that settles it?
All up to the company though, and does makes you less marketable overall in any case

In a pinch it does..I disse ulvetider kan det være litt vanskeligere.

True that .
Just sayin it's not totally far fetched, haha
