AAIB Famil'.

I & several colleagues have been invited for a famil' day to Farnborough with the AAIB. Has anyone done the same? Was it interesting/worthwhile?

Go for it. Tho' I'm not sure whether you mean a familiarisation day or a family day? I visited there at the end of the last century and found it absolutely fascinating. I honestly believe that if every pilot-to-be was taken on a tour, the AAIB would have far fewer accidents to investigate.

Guys,

I am currently working as a Safety Enginner and was wondering about a job at the AAIB. Do vacancies ever come up?

Occasionally, usually looking for CEng, probably a second degree, and ideally a fair bit of breadth of industry experience - particularly in design and/or ops. They like some flying experience as well. The jobs that come up most often seem to be in ADR reading and analysis.

Hmm, thanks. Well, my degree is in Aero Eng, although it's my only one and I have a PPL. Any chance I could sneak in at the bottom of the structure as I'm still only 26?

It's always worth a try isn't it!, although I'd have thought that going for your CEng as early as possible may give you an advantage.

They occasionally advertise for inspectors in 2 categories - engineering and operations. The ops post usually require previous experience as a senior airline pilot.

I applied for the engineering post a year or so ago (along with ~500 others) and have CEng, CPL, FI and aerospace engineering experience; but I didn't make the final cut.

Flight International classifieds are a likely place to find their ads.
