Training that gets you hired

• Mountain flying course

  Required by many western operators before they let you into the hills.

• Longline and sling work

  Carrying loads under the helicopter: drills, firefighting buckets, construction materials.

• Night and instrument rating

  Needed for air ambulance and offshore flying.

• Aircraft maintenance training

  Some pilots hold a maintenance licence too, which makes you far more useful at a small operator.
