Helicopter contract work.
Hello all,
I am starting contact work under EASA in Europe soon. As I have formerly only been an employee and not a contractor I was wondering what Helicopter contract pilots do when engaging with a new customer/ company.
Is it advisable to draw up a letter of intent or a contract of sorts, if so does someone have templates that I can use ?
Thanks!
Any other tips or advice regarding starting on contract work would also be greatly appreciated.

Which jurisdiction?
If you want people to advise you, you need to tell them which jurisdiction your client is based in. Contractual and social security rules very greatly between different European countries.

If you have multiple clients, a consultancy agreement under Dutch law should be all that is required. A quick look on Google shows various templates you can download. As paco says, it will be very important to include clauses regarding insurance and liability as well as defining the commercial terms (eg fees, hours, termination period etc).
Good luck
