Thanks Steve76, thats very handy info. As for the experience i have a fair bit of remote time now but only a little sling.....hopefully it'll cut it.

Auto Relight, hopefully i'll be another accent in the air soon.....

Handy to have a little study before i go, and thanks for the heads up re customs, Paco and jinglejim.

Job Requirements in Canada?

Hi guys would just like to get some ideas of what I experience would be necessary to gain employment in Canada. Hours wise, turbine experience etc,etc,etc...... And what type of work your most likely to come across over there.

Just trying to set a plan of what I should be trying to work towards before I head over in the years to come.

Thanks

You should be employable with 1000 hours in turbine helicopters .

The type of flying would be resource [i.e. exploration] and fire fighting

Canadian CPL

Just about to convert to Canadian certificate.

Would like any advice on books to study, main (any) areas that drastically differ from the FAA CPL, where to purchase the books, and any other useful information.


Cheers

May I humbly offer my own Canadian Professional Pilot Studies ?

It covers everything in one book and can be obtained from most aviation shops in Canada. An AIP would also be helpful, but you can get that when you get there

Paco is correct, that is a good book!
You also need (should have anyways) the CAR's in plain english, by the same author.

You can also check out Transport Canada's website and download the other pubs you'll need.

You will need the Study and Reference guide for Commercial and private pilots, the Flight Test guide for CPL Helicopter, and you can read the CAR's on the Internet. I'd advise you to buy a Canadian AIP, however, you will receive it for free after you get your license (takes about 6 months though...)

If you need numbers for the books they are:
TP 3077E, Flight test standards PPL and CPL Helicopter
TP 2476E, Study and reference guide PPL and CPL Helicopter

Hope that helps!

Jobs in B.C. Canada?

Hey guys,

Just a quick question...

What sort of flying (heli-skiing/forrestry etc.) would someone with CPL(H) and FI rating be able to do in British Columbia with roughly 500hrs?

Perhaps some of you who work over there already could give me some advice and tips on approaching companies and what the chances are! If it helps I have R22/R44, B206 and AS350

Thanks for your time guys, HH

bc forestry will not take you without an approved mountain flying course and with those hours i highly doubt any heli-ski operators would take you even if you had as350 or bh212 time.
