Looking to take on a contract job in Korea for a couple of months to work with a start up airline to do some flying, but mainly training. Im unfamiliar with the Regs. in that part of the world but it's been mentioned that initial operating experiance would be done for the Capt. and FO from the jumpseat!??. Here in the US that would never be allowed for initial or upgrade IOE as the Check Airman must be at the controls. Woundering if any one out there might have some experience on this subject.

Every country has its own little set of rules. One thing you have to lose is the we would never do that in the US or we do it in the US thins way. I work in HKG and all initial training for FOs is done with the training capt in the left seat. While upgrade is slightly different. for the first 90% of the sectors the training capt is in the right seat. A line check is passed and then the capt moves to the jumpseat and the right seat is filled by a regular line FO for the remaining 10%. I have heard in Mainland China they will actually put an FO in the left seat that is close to an upgrade with a regular FO in the right seat and a checker in the jumpseat.

Good Luck,

FO

Under no circumstances do you want to be in the jumpseat training pilots who do not have experience on type. That is a recipe for disaster and could place you in a very bad situation if an incident/accident happened.

I've trained pilots in 3 different countries and I have always been in an operating seat. I've had a few instances where I had to make control inputs to keep something bad from happening.

Common here in the US too.
