Pool pilot Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 I did not fly this year but, Just out of curiosity did many pilots fighting the fires this year get over 300 flight hours (not including unused minimums) or was the Forestry services only flying you up to the 4 hours a day or less but hold you for the 14 hours all summer?

tipspeed Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 From what I saw and heard from people in NWO, they flew their butts off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbox chip Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 How about in BC? Our machines weren't banging out snowmen the whole time but they had a few good runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bif Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 In BC: I think our mediums did really well. The Astars got split between IA and Admin and/or bucket support so were a bit more hit & miss. Personally, on the Astars, I flew around 250hrs since June I think? About 50 of those with a bucket. Only a few snowmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHH123 Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 What would an average year, or expected year, for days worked and hours paid in the forestry side of the industry be? Lights and mediums. 100 days/ 300 hours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
