Now you need 2000h jet to fly a SE Turboprop!
 

Most boat drivers calls the turboprop a jet-engine, don't worry it's not that bad yet :8

Well if you put a 10,000hr for E.G., jet jockey in a SE T/P you could be asking for trouble.

Oh the relative simplicity of a jet, turbojet!

Ahaha incredible! :} with those requirement I go straight onto EK 777!

And what if you read between the lines? I'll bet this a "private" operation. You'll earn good money, stay in posh hotels and probably eat very well. You'll probably get to drive your principal's cars/boats/motorcycles as well. But in return they expect a rounded, well qualified pilot who won't bugger off as soon as soon as jet job pops up.

Calling the PC 12 NG merely a SE turboprop shows a lot about your (lack of) aviation knowledge.

You guys think, by any chance, that flying RHS EK B777 compares in any way to flying LHS on a business aviation PC 12?

The Jet Provost 3 was a jet (barely!), replaced by the Jet Provost 5 with improved performance, replaced by the Tucano T/P, massive improvement in performance!

PC 12 NG is fantastic to fly however, as an on call pilot to the Middle East with 350hrs per year, expect alot of sitting around time and not much time at home unless your primary spends most of their time in Switzerland!

Otherwise, fantastic flying to be had in what seems a very responsible, negotiated salary ( ;-) ) position.

If you look at other job openings on their website, it states the same requirements for Global Express or Falcon 7X.

It seems to be a bad copy/paste, or the requirements are here to ensure you can move to a bigger bird later.

Wirbelsturm,
The tuc was cheaper to run than thr JP Mk5 but no way better performance!

You are entitled to your ignorance about my aviation knowledge! Yes, I have much to learn but a PC12 is a SE TP and my point was (as one who has Military and Civilian Jet and Turboprop experience and a degree in Aeronautics) TP jobs should be open to those with significant TP time not just jet jockies!

However I see the point others make if the fleet is mixed.

angelorange,

Also from a guy with military an civilian experience (with a degree in Aeronautics as well) having flown TP an jet I still insist that the PC 12NG is not a mere TP. Even more when you grealize that some operators use it on a single-piling operation.

This job opening from AMAC looks like a PIC position on a private operation. Given that I can understand why the owner of the aircraft requires that amount of experience.

TP jobs (as SIC or as DEC) should be for those with TP experience, I totally agree. But the PC 12 NG is not a regular TP...

Nevertheless I do feel the need to apologyze for my harsh statement. I could have made a different choice of words. My bad.

Probably my memory confusing it with the JP3! The JP5 was fun but then I enjoyed the Tucano immensly (quite a fair few years later I might add) so I'm probably a little biased! :E

At Ryanair you need 20,000.

Euro.

The 2000 hrs jet PIC could also be to avoid the dreamers who will leave at first sight of a jet-job.

Those with 2000 hrs pic on a jet have learnt - hopefully - that it's about quality of life and other such stuff, rather than about how shiny the plane is. They might end up getting applicants who want the job for the long term instead of some smuck who leaves them at first light with no pilot and loads of problems.

This is pilots own fault. Too many is running for the shiny metal without any wish to do the real flying, so companies need to weed out in the crowds. Looks to me like a company that is actually thinking ahead and planning to employ quality instead of quantity :ok:

Good on them, I hope some lucky guy will find he's long term dream job here :)

At Luton, there was an Apache job with a requirement for 8,000 hours. "we have Pan AM contracts. So need . . . bla bla bla."


Used to be for the early 1-11s. 8,000 for command, and 4,600 for F/O.

After two weeks, they wrote to me saying my flying had improved so much I could be an F/O with my measly 1,500 hours on the Viscount.
