Wildrose Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 Just wondering what is out there for someone just shy of 2000hrs for getting a foot into the twin engine world? 3 Quote
flingwinger Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 It seems there are more light twins arriving in Canada than there are experienced twin drivers, so there might be a gap to fill? The biggest hurdle is the customer, min 100Hr on type for BC Hydro for example. Could take a long time to meet those requirements once endorsed/ppc'd. Quote
Heliian Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 What a mess, with all these minimums to meet there will be no twin drivers eventually. Can you get a multi rating from a fligt school? Quote
flingwinger Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 No such thing as a Multi rating for helicopters, it's just a type endorsement, although you will need to do a PPC on a twin annually, and a ppc or pcc on a single - if you jump between both. Quote
Bif Posted February 22, 2014 Report Posted February 22, 2014 I guess the easiest transition is probably from AS350 into AS355. Or 205 into 212...Find a company that flies both types? Get IFR/ATPL? Quote
Winnie Posted February 22, 2014 Report Posted February 22, 2014 get an IFR helps, can get straight into a 212. H. Quote
HeliGridGuy Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 B212 or AS355 best options Quote
kiefk Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 U can write ur HAMRA HARON and come join Ornge with a CPL!! They'll give u the endorsement (S76 or AW139) plus benefits and a 4 days on 4 days off schedule... 1 Quote
Wildrose Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Posted February 24, 2014 Thanks for the info but I am wondering if there are any cojo jobs out there or something to start flying twins? Kiefk although that sounds appealing but moving is not an option for me. Quote
kiefk Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 Shame Wildrose I just got back from my 139 endorsement and 30 days overtime for training Try Phoenix they're in your neck of the woods.... Contact Ornge anyway as they have a touring base in Moosenee flying S76. I know 1 Captain lives in BC and they fly him in for his rotations...pay scale is slightly different but he makes it up in travel overtime. Quote
