Great video! I worked a lot of scenes with the Ornge rotary team out of Thunder Bay when I was a vol. firefighter. Never had a bad experience, the crew and pilots were always professional, friendly, and always went out of there way to lend us a hand when they could. Those pilots could put it down in some of the harshest conditions with limited space/visibility. I have so much respect and envy for these select few that play an integral role with first responders to ensure the patient gets emergency care quickly.

Great video but you might want to go back into KZbin editor and extend the blur for the number, there's a big enough gap at the bottom to where I was able to read the numbers on my 50in TV that I was watching on. I didn't take them down but someone else might. On a smaller screen it would be easy to not notice that while editing.

At the time we thought it might be an issue but to be honest if someone wants to pay the bill for calling a satphone and then the aircraft being airborne and the phone turned on at that exact time is small.

I'm based in Australia so you may not have the answers. However, is there an expectation straight out of flight school that you pay for your own advancement through ratings and endorsements? For example, will someone employ you with low-time hours and pay for you to obtain your instrument rating, turbine time, NVFR etc? I would think many inexperienced pilots would be willing to sign up for minimum return of service agreements if it means progression can be more affordable, as well as working alongside experienced pilots? I'm convinced I can put myself through flight school, however if the expenses continue to climb even after flight school for ratings and endorsements it doesn't financially stack up no matter how badly I want it. P.S. EMS is my goal so this video was fantastic, thank you
@PilotTeacher2 жыл бұрын
Most companies will not pay for any ratings for someone straight out of flight school. There are the lucky few who get hired and get given some turbine training for example. Most students try and get some time in a job flying pistons for a year or two then try applying for a turbine job. Getting yourself 3-5 hours on a Jet Ranger or Astar after flying the piston helis for 500 hours or so will stand you in a lot better position for them to hire you and put more training into you. Only once you have some really good experience will companies start putting endorsements and ratings into you. They will need to see you as a committed investment or they will not spend the time or money training you. Think about it this way…..A stranger knocks on your door and wants $5-10K but promises to work really hard for it. Would you open your wallet and take that risk? I wouldn’t! Hope this helps.
