I guess so...don't really know the reasoning to it, but that it's just required. Not that tough to get and maintain.

How much average flight time do most of the pilots build per month?

My understanding is this is not a time building type company. I think you average 300-400hrs a season.

I don't know an actual "average"...BUT you are paid to make up the difference. It is one of the better paying aerial mapping jobs that is in the market. Plus good bennes!

Does anyone know if AAK is still hiring ?

If you want to live in California same Above Minimums but Aperture Aviation is the name of the company. It's in San Jose California. No idea if they are currently hiring but it never hurts to E-mail a resume.

Any idea how much they pay? Thanks in advance.
