Royal Flying Doctors of Australia
Greetings all,
Just have a couple of questions as regards the title of this post. What kind of experience do you require in order to get a job with them? What's the pay like? Roster? Do they only recruit Australians or do they recruit foreigners also? My understanding is that Australia is JAA,true?Flase? Answers to Q's greatly appreciated, Kind Regards, CP. |
No nothing about the Aus scene, but Aviation Sans Frontiers wanted 800 hours and "instrument experience."

PILOTS The large RFDS fleet is comprised of Beechcraft Kingairs, Pilatus PC XII and Titian C404. Positions are generally advertised in national newpapers, and competition for the limited number of opportunities is strong. The general skills and experience required are as follows: * Australian commercial pilots licence. * Current command instrument rating (multi-engine) with two renewals. * 2000 hours as pilot-in-command. * 1000 hours as pilot-in-command of a multi-engined aircraft. * 200 hours night operations as pilot-in-command. * Pilots with turbo-prop experience preferred. * A sound work ethic. * Demonstatable maturity and stability of employment. * Excellent communication skills. * A philosophy sympathetic to the ideals of the RFDS. * An empathy for the bush and its people. |
