Helicopter Jobs 2022
The restricted bit when you are talking job adverts is the above. Not able to send first solo. The CPL bit is a privilege that you get, not a restriction that you lose.
The problem with FI jobs is the poor pay. Some schools are still only paying £45 per hour and expect you to pay for your own renewals etc. People will not re-locate for an FI job with low pay, and the insecurity of freelance work.
I remember a flight school owner saying "the thing is, instructing isn't a proper job", he expected his FIs to be there all day and only get paid when the engine starts. Then he drove away in one of his multiple high-end cars.

My ATPL(H) is restricted to 'Day only' due to not having sufficient night hours on helicopters to make it unrestricted. I know of one other pilot who has just gained a command on a large helicopter with the same restriction.

Nothing dodgy at all. Proof of recent Type simulator and LPC is a requirement of the aviation authority for the issuance of a license validation. This is a short term contract and consequently pays out at top rates. Clear details will be made available to candidates who tick the boxes. Up to 12 hours of FFS training will be made available to candidates that seem suitable but do not have recent simulator time. If a pilot doesn’t like using a Gmail address, they needn’t reply.

This is a legitimate post and poster.
I inquired, and the poster worked at the same offshore heli company as me for many years. This isn't fishy, and I'm not sure what the issue with the email is; it worked fine for me.
Cheers.
Cheers.
I think noone questions the functionality of the gmail address. the we're insinuating that a person hiring Pilots professionally would have a company, complete with Internet Domain and company email.

UK HEMS Cockpit crew
Out of interest, why the preference for non medical Technical Crew Members? Would it not be easier/more practical to train your HEMS Paramedics/CCP's as TCM's? This would allow significantly more payload for missions. Not such an issue on the 169, but certainly beneficial if deployed on a 902. This is the crewing model used in the majority of UK HEMS units and seems to work well.
