I did have one emergency landing while riding observer on a Bell Long Ranger powered by a Rolls. A "chip detect" light in a helo means find a spot to land quick! A bearing was coming apart.

If you dont mind me asking, how many Hours did you have before you got picked up doing pipline. Im at around 300TT, going to be getting a BFR and IPC soon. Looking to send out resumes Etc Soon.
I know alot of low time pilot jobs are governed by insurance mins. Anyone have any ideas on how lenient they are or how much wiggle room they have with those mins?

Most patrol companies are in the 500-1500 range with some hiring observers with a lot lower times and work their way up. Check out Barr Aviation.
I’m guessing I shouldn’t even bother applying for that. What do you think?
They Also have a Camera operator Position...
