![]() ![]() I needed 25 hours on type before I could get an R44 job, but it's not always like that. Rotorhub, It's a while since I saw that school, there was no Enstrom in sight when my career stopped by, but things have obviously changed with the new owners.Īs Rotors88 correctly pointed out, it's not going to matter in 500 hours, but it will matter for the first job. ![]() Get your training started sooner rather than later and just get it done and get ready for the hard yards once you finish and go looking for work. I don't know anything about the aircraft so can't compare it to a R22 or a 300.Īt the end of the day however, the big thing which will get you a job is a CPL in your hands with an endorsement or maybe two for the aircraft most operators use ie R22/R44 and maybe Jetranger, though not many people will allow you to fly one straight off your CPL. As far as I am aware, the F28 has not been used before in Australia for training.and if it has been, it would not have been very widely used. Admittedly, the 300's are a little more common, albeit more of a training aircraft and some musterers use them. ![]() I would be inclined to ask more than a couple employers who tend to give fresh CPL's a start and see what they would think if you dropped a CV in front of them with all your training done in an F28, with a R22 and/or R44 endorsement completed.Ĭonsider that between the R22 and R44 they account for more than half of the helicopters on the civil register so you're more than likely going to fly a Robbie in your first job then any other machine. ![]()
