Has anyone started the new home-based schedule? Two weeks on, one week off, two weeks on, two weeks off?
Is it available for all airframes? |

Hi, there!
This is separate from the UPS intern program. That'll still be a thing, but this is for pilots working here now and pilots that will be working here in the future (not through the intern gateway program). When we finalize the details, there will be a number of benchmarks the pilot has to fulfill (like professional development, personal development, length with Ameriflight, etc.) For current Ameriflight pilots, what they have done with us so far counts toward the program. So if they've been here for two years, that'll count toward the time requirement and if they have a certain number of hours with us that'll count toward the hour requirement and so on and so forth. Hope that makes sense! :) Thanks for the clarification. |

I thought I saw a cockpit photo on The AMF Facebook page that showed a STEC 30 installed. It looked like a Garmin GPS was installed as well, but I could not make it out. Anyone flying in the home based program of 2/7/2/2? How do you like it? Do you have the opportunity to upgrade to the 1900 relatively soon. Any details you could share would be appreciated.
Thanks, CD9 |

Garmin 430 and Stec 30 are standard for the 99. There are some still without either, but they are cycling through the fleet, one at a time to put the GPS in at the same time as the ADS B transponder.

Is it available for all airframes? I don't really know about the home based BE99. The very first pilots on that schedule are in the indoc class that just started yesterday. I don't even know if the schedule you cite is even correct. |

Home based for the type rated equipment (SA227, BE1900 and E120) has been going on for about a year. The official schedule is 18 days on/12 off but because of our flight schedules it usually runs a 14 days on/14 off. But you can be kept at your TDY station for a couple days beyond that if needed because of the official 18 on.

Does AMF require a training contract?

Thank you for providing all of the requirements.
I was a CFI/CFII but have not flown in some time. I am returning to aviation and just got check out for a 1st class medical and have my flight review/instrument schedule to be completed this month. My question is about how many current hours does Ameriflight require? PIC 850 Multi 43 CC 223 Complex 93 Night 46 There's really not a number of current hours required. What is required though is that you are IFR current. Other than that, you are good to go! |

Hi there.
I'm interested in the seasonal positions that you have posted. I saw that it is for certain bases and for the PA31 and BE99 only. Are we able to choose which one of those aircraft and which of those bases? Or is it what and where needed? I've been looking for a seasonal job like this so I can keep a helicopter seasonal summer job. Thanks. Glad to hear you are interested in the seasonal spots! Yes, you are able to choose. As long as you are qualified for the aircraft, you can choose it! As for the bases, it is a little bit of a choice. It definitely depends on where we need you. We pay for your housing, travel, and per diem, so typically location is not an issue. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions! |
Any idea on when the next classes with ACP spots will be? I'm doing my numbers here :)

Thanks, CD9 It looks like your first question was answered. The Home Based Captain schedule is 14/7/14/14. Upgrade time is relatively quick depending on your schedule. We have preferred BE1900 Captain mins that we need you to be at or near before you upgrade: 1,800 TT, 250 ME, 500 XC (defined as point to point), 100 night, 1,000 PIC, 100 instrument, 100 Turbine At the moment, we use a quarterly bid system to change aircraft and locations. Hope that helps! |

Is it available for all airframes? Yes, 14/7/14/14 is the schedule. This position is available for all aircraft except the Chieftain. Hope that helps! |

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Our best guess is January. Folks are upgrading to the left seat and opening up those spots, but we're not thinking we'll be able to take any until January. Hope that helps! |

Thanks :) I'm honoring my contract and I can't leave till December/January, so that would be perfect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
Is there a way we can apply for the ACP now or will you post it closer to January?

Interview Sim Ride
Is the interview sim ride conducted at the base closest to where I currently live, or is it done at the base to which I apply? And, is a random approach procedure chosen to fly at that location? What type of simulator is used? I'd like to get some practice in as close to the real thing as possible before getting to that point.

It may be a stupid question but how's the workload as a single pilot IFR? I know not all the planes have GPS and of course no AP.
I fly single pilot VFR and obviously it's a piece of cake, but just wondering Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

There is no interview sim. There is a technical interview but it is all done over the phone.
Thanks for the reply. |

Thanks for the reply. |

It's been a year or two. Pretty much since we got our own recruiting department doing the interviews instead of base assistant chief pilots.

I don't know anything specific about PDX. I know in general we still need people everywhere. We had 22 in the indoc class a week ago. That's about the max we can handle unless we rent an outside space for the classroom. So hang in there and keep updating your times.

Accelerated Captain Position
Saw on the Ameriflight website something about an accelerated captain job for first officers. Anyone there currently have any information about it? What airframe will you be flying at 1,000 hours to get your 135 captain mind? Im currently an f/o with 1,000+ flying the Cessna Caravan for a 135 outfit.

Hello everyone. Anybody knows how are the beech 99 equipped? GPS, AP, E6B, anything? Or it's pure old school :-)

Nah stupid question, I read the last 50 pages yesterday night. As old school as it gets haha.

Flight time requirements
Hi. I'm a little unclear about the requirements for the EMB120 FO position that were posted by Freightdogs on 10/5. 500TT and 500Pic. Seems unlikely that you could get to 500TT without some significant non-PIC time. Thanks.

That’s nice. I saw my first B99 the other day at beef island and I climbed to the cockpit. Impressive atmosphere and HUGE compared to my islander haha. I was impressed honestly

Actually the pilot told me they were upgrading them (SJU based) with Shinny Garmin ‘sth’ and autopilots

Quick question for current Ameriflight pilots: What are Ameriflights plans to meet the ADS-B requirements for 2020? I assume they will invest in what is needed even for the older Navajo and Beech 99 airframes? And will the upgrades bring Ameriflight into the RNAV world?
Sorry if this has been asked before... I missed it, if so. Thanks! |

Sorry if this has been asked before... I missed it, if so. Thanks! I don't fly at a base with chieftains, but yeah, 2020 is the deadline for everything to comply. |
GPS and AP makes that job way more attractive :-)

Autopilots? Things are changing since the 1980's.

Those Stec 30 are so odd haha
