427 Position

[north60]

can't tell you who, but a corporate operator in yhz is looking for a pilot/ame for a 427 in the next 2 months. repeat pilot/ame, others need not apply. they want a long term employee, not a low time run/blow through. get out your fleet guides and good luck

hmmm, lets take a quess.................ClearWater Fine Foods.

 

Venture to quess that the positioned will be filled by "someone" who happens by these pages periodically.....

A pilot/Engineer on a 427 that sounds like a 26hr a day job,8 days a week.

 

:elvis: :shock: :elvis:

It actually shouldn't be that bad for maintenance. The engines are sweet, and extremely reliable, the rotor is virtually maintenance free except for periodic balancing, the tranny is the nicest I've seen in any helicopter, simple electrical system, and the instrument panel is a combination of standard gauges and two flat screens.

 

I don't remember them as being hangar queens at all. They're like LongRangers - just hit the starter and go.

Can you type where to go into it's FMS?

 

Do you just follow the magenta line?

 

And was it built by Airbus?

Boys and girls there seems to be alot of 427 position in NS these days or are we all talking about the same postion. I wonder how the duty day will fit into the pilot's/ame schedule. it should be lots of figuring out that one. :shock:

It will be easier than P/E'ing in Commercial Ops, as I doubt they'll be flying that much....plus you're starting out with a 0 time aircraft....not a 10,000 hr 206.

What about dual inspections?

 

Sign with Your right hand as the engineer,then sign withYour left hand as the pilot.

interesting question...how does a pilot/engineer strobe his machine (with safety in mind of course)?

They use the RADS system, not a Strobex. It has an optical tracker, and certainly doesn't need two people. I used to do it by myself all the time at Bell.

 

Jeez guys, it's not like the thing is on seismic - one decent p/e working out of a nice clean hangar should be able to handle both duties on a corporate machine. Provided they are paying suitable money, and don't try to go on the cheap, they'll get that person.

 

Almost makes me wish I had an AME ticket.

[Elvis]

Once again the question who signs the dual inspections?
