In
general, a pilot will need about 2000-3000 hours RW time with a good portion of
that being turbine. A FAA commercial instrument rating with a Class
I or II flight physical is the norm. Most operators want to see significant
unaided night time and instrument experience. About 90% of the current EMS
Pilots come through the military. Many pilots build flight time
instructing or flying other commercial operations, e.g., offshore, tours, etc.
Most operators work under Part 135 of the FARs. Some operators require a
lobodomy prior to employment. (Just wanted to see if anyone was really reading
this...) A good link with lots of other links would be:
Good
luck,
Hi,
I was just wondering if
there are any pilots out there who would be able to give me a brief
description of their career path? What is the best way to begin down the
road of becoming a medevac pilot? More specifically, I am interested in
flight hour minimums, if majority of time in any one type of helicopter is
preferred, etc. Can anybody send me information on this subject?
Perhaps even just a website hyperlink?
Is it wise to pursue an Army
National Guard Rotary Wing Aviator training slot? I am eligible to go to
military flight school & am considering doing so as a means to Medevac
flying.
Anything will help. Thanks
Jason Harris
