Skydive drop Pilot in India? on afap
 
Have you guys seen the latest ad on afap for the skydive drop pilot in India. No company name and a yahoo.in email id. NZ$48000 a year which seems like a descent pay. But is the ad is genuine?

When did this ad appear? The last ad i can see on AFAP appears to be on the 14th of Jan?

Ixixly 30th Jan 2010 01:32

Nevermind, for some reason Firefox isn't showing it but IE is!!

I wasn't aware of a drop rating? Is that an Indian thing perhaps? And I didn't think India allowed expats to fly there anymore anyways?

having the same trouble with firefox.

The aircraft is probably ZK registered, hence the need for a kiwi pilot and a drop rating.

Good to see some decent money is being offered, especially if it is a kiwi operator.

scanned copy of drop rating sticker in logbook, drop rating licence front and back scanned copy
:confused::confused:

where do I get one of those?

Ixixly 30th Jan 2010 04:10

Did a bit of digging and its an NZ thing, they have an actualy Drop Rating that can be endorsed in someones Log Book.

What exactly is an 'avaitor'? :ugh:

Ixixly 30th Jan 2010 04:50

Another NZ thing?

Is indeed genuine. Know a guy flying for them in a pretty nice caravan. Need NZPIA Drop Rating and NZ CPL. Not sure if BGT is needed or not.

" descent pay". I get it!

Hmmm, seems pretty similar to this job advertisement.

Me too. Bit of thread drift here but are there any computer geeks out there who can shed some light on this? Firefox hasn't updated since 14 Jan despite refreshing, deleting cookies etc. I'd hate to miss out on all of the good job gossip on the AFAP site...

Tibbsy, try clearing the Cache as well. It seems to be working for me

so they wont look at Oz pilots for this at all?

An Australian CPL holder can easily get a Kiwi CPL under the Trans Tasman agreement.

Use google chrome, easier and faster than them all ;)

Tools> Clear Private Data... (Or just press Ctrl+Shift+Del)
Tick Cookies and Cache and leave everything else unticked (Make sure AFAP is closed at the time) - Also you can't untick "download history" - so don't worry about try to :ok:

Tibbsy 31st Jan 2010 09:31

Still not working :ugh: I might have to give google chrome a run eh?
