Its probably the best option as far as experience and development of good decision making skills. Your skills will literally double your first shift. Now if you learned at a 141 in the south with zero weather experience and never flown through a cloud it will be a tough transition. VFR in Alaska is basically 500' and 2 miles and you will shoot many special vfr approaches with 1 mile visibility. There will be many days Guys have to go missed on an IFR approach and you will fly right in on a special(thank god for Sierra arrivals and departures or Bethel would be a cluster). So if you don't have a good instrument scan, I would develop one.

Can somebody provide me with the minimums for pilot position with Ravn/Hageland? College kid with wet commercial looking to get on as SIC and build some time up in Alaska possibly.

Hey guys I was wondering what type of Simulator do they use for the training? One of those full motion redbirds?

Where's the info that says they will pay for your transportation to and from Alaska? Sounds like a doable gig if that's the case.

Thanks,

Yes. I looked at their site, but I didn't see anything about them paying for transportation.

Its on the APC page and I confirmed it w/ the chief pilot yesterday during the interview. They will keep doing this until Grant gets full CASS benefits. Right now Grant is cabin only CASS.

Ok, well some people are saying that people are only getting hired with 500+ hours and they aren't receiving class dates yet, so there's some conflicting data.

I just did a full week up in Bethel and loved it. I'm headed back up this Thursday to do my first full two week shift.

In my first week, I averaged 5 hours of flying per day, but that included two days of training/checkride and a few mornings of waiting for weather and/or mx. The days where I wasn't sitting around in training or waiting for weather/mx, I logged 6.5+ hours per day.



As mentioned, we're doing a lot of 600-2 VFR flying. First day I was a bit skeptical (as any low time pilot should be) but it really is flat as sh!t up there so you're good if you keep the blue side up. For when we did file, I ended up logging around 12 hours of actual IMC and 10 approaches last week.

Not a redbird. It's technically an FAA Level B FFS, but it doesn't really do a great job of mimicking the actual plane. That being said, it was great for learning the flows and getting used to the cockpit. Everything felt the same when I got in the actual plane for the first time.

I wouldn't count on it being full. Communication from their HR department is few and far in between, so you just need to be patient

Hi interested pilots, we have 2 ground schools coming up in the next few months. I am looking for qualified PIC candidates for our ground school beginning on July 17, 2017 and both PIC and SIC qualified candidates for a ground school starting September 17, 2017.

The final candidate list for July ground school will be published no later than June 19, 2017. Within the next few weeks I will ascertain how many SICs will be a part of our next ground school.

Potential SIC's: I have already hired a group of SICs that I have not assigned a ground school date to which is why we do not have room for any new SICs in our July ground school.

For those of you that have already been hired, we will have your ground school date to you in writing no later than June 19th.

Really appreciate all of your interest!

Erin

What do you know about Ravn?

We moved on to knowledge:
What class medical do you need for commercial cert
How long is it valid?
VFR Cloud clearances
Oxygen requirements
When is filing an alternate required?
Weather mins to file alternate?
IFR lost comm procedures
