FYI, if you're applying for a FO spot, be VERY aware that unless you go into the E120, your time can NOT be counted towards your ATP.

I thought the same thing, and I still haven't found when this reg was passed or approved, but check out: Docket No. FAA-2016-6142, Notice No. 16-02. It proposes that SICs can log time when not otherwise required if they are part of a SIC PDP, and that time can count towards ATP. I was told that this FO deal is a new program that just started this March, so maybe those laws apply now? Not sure, but I want to do my homework before joining a company. |
If it has changed, it would be nice to get a memo. Until then, the memo we have says no, you can't currently count the SIC time (other than the E120) toward your ATP.

Current Ameriflight Pilots
I would like some honesty from people that have been hired and started flying for Ameriflight. How do you like it overall? What are your likes and dislikes? What is your schedule like? What do you think of the overall atmosphere within Ameriflight? All the feedback received is much appreciated. Thanks.

I thought all new hires went to the E120? That's all they ever show as hiring on their website.

We recently started a program called the Accelerated Captain Program. We received a waiver from the FAA and can now accept Captains at 1,000TT. The catch is that the pilots have to have 50 hours with us as an FO first. So we'll bring you in as an FO in one of our BE99s until you reach 1,000TT and 50 hours as an AMF FO. As soon as you meet both requirements, we'll shift you over to left seat of the 99. Those hours as an FO do not count towards your ATP as shoestrings1229 mentioned, but the hours as a Captain after you reach those 2 requirements do. So depending on what your TT is you are looking at 50-200 hours as an FO. We have those positions listed as First Officer ACP. Hope that helps! |

I would add nose wheel steering, aileron control, and braking action to your list of things that were hard to adjust to on the Metro. Free turbine engines on our other planes have far less aborted starts as well. There are many points where I would agree that "it's not complicated," but I would definitely advise against letting that allow a complacent attitude going into training, or any day flying it for that matter.
Your other items of concern I will agree with. We have had a few instances of steering issues lately. The roll rate is a bit slow due to the wing extensions and the ailerons not going all the way to the wing tips. (Though the plane still rolls well enough if you just lead the turn with a bit of rudder.) And the brakes on the "light" airplanes leave something to be desired. Though, again, I have never found it to be much of a problem as the plane slows down pretty well just by going into Beta. Several times I have had tower ask me for a braking report and I have had tell them I didn't know because I never touched the brakes. |
