JOBS FOR LOW TIME PILOTS [] TEACHING TUESDAY

[@mithrandirv2]

Man, I just don’t wanna CFI because I am sick of paying for check rides lol I see the local examiner so often I’m gonna have to invite the guy to my wedding

[@AviatorMark]

Hah ha, it’ll happen soon. I know the feeling. 💸 Some people think Bernoulli‘s principle is what makes airplanes fly but pilots really know it’s just cash money!

[@ogundowoadetola1741]

😂😂😂.. the wedding part. I feel ur pain. I became a flight instructor eventually

[@Kpoole35]

@JH-in5oq Independent CFI is so much smoother and streamlined than working for someone.

[@luisaacevedo5783]

I got my private license in 2001 and my dream was to become a professional pilot, however it was not to be. I never had enough money to get enough hours in a week to move forward. I could only fly 2 hours a week and I wasn’t getting anywhere with that. I haven’t flown in 15 years but I still look outside when I hear an airplane go by. I wanted to do agricultural flying.

[@youngbiney]

Relocate to Ghana with 250 flying hours ,you can get a job

[@rapinncapin123]

​@@youngbiney oooooo

[@TheRichieRichGuy]

@@youngbineyhomie on basic med now

[@TheFlyingZulu]

Do you have time to still do 4 years of military active duty service? The Post 9/11 G.I. bill will pay for your flight training if you go to a college that offers an aviation degree. That's what I'm doing now.

[@winstonsalem5124]

​@@youngbineyCould you please tell me what local airline in Ghana will employ a Pilot with 250 to 300 hrs?

[@Dappertrucker]

Another good way is being involved with the civil air patrol

[@aaronposteraro1986]

Thanks so much Siegwart Aviator for this video. I’m about a month away from getting my CPL and this video couldn’t have come at a better time. I’ll most likely go on to get my CFI since it’ll make me more marketable and I have a great passion for teaching about flying, but I seriously cannot wait to be sitting up in the front seat of a jet or turboprop someday soon hopefully.

[@AviatorMark]

This is awesome news! So excited for you. Yes, teaching is such a rewarding experience but it is nice getting into some of the larger more complex aircraft as well.

[@wayneethier4472]

Great suggestions thanks Mark

[@benburns5995]

Nice overview of different jobs that can be used to build flight hours. With all the troubles today in aviation, it is nice to see a video showing different paths and it's challenges along the way. Your enthusiasm creating videos shows that you really enjoy your job and career.

[@AviatorMark]

Thankfully there’s a lot of different opportunities out there for those who are willing to think outside the box and take the opportunities given to them.

[@MKwan82]

When you're saying about taking surveillance video, the first thing that popped up in my head was American Made's protagonist doing surveillance for the CIA.

[@kevincollins8014]

These videos that discuss different options is very informative in my opinion. Coming from someone that has knowledge and experience. I know I really appreciate each and every video because I know they aren't easy to create. Thanks as always for sharing your knowledge with us all Mark.

[@AviatorMark]

Thanks Kevin. Happy you find value in the content and I definitely wish you well on your journey. Hopefully summer is treating you well so far.

[@runningbaum9430]

Thanks for doing this video. Very informative.

[@courtneyknill960]

Great video! Really helpful for someone that doesn’t come from an aviation family!

[@AviatorMark]

Glad it helped Courtney. Looking forward to your next video!

[@ronrivers4261]

Thank you for sharing this! I had no idea of how many different jobs that are available for low time pilots. This is very useful information!

[@AviatorMark]

There really are a lot of different opportunities out there. It is important to network and be willing to work a side job even starting out…

[@Jopez777]

Cool examples thank you

[@AviatorMark]

Thank you 🤗

[@dsd-downshiftdave8056]

Great video

[@topofthegreen]

Living in the moment is great advise.

[@AviatorMark]

Thanks! Many forget that important step. 👏

[@TheFlyingZulu]

These jobs exist... now the trick is trying to find them... It seems like you gatta know somebody to get into some of these jobs.

[@9Yards-s2x]

Thank you, I don't want to be an airline pilot. I need more videos explaining opportunities lesser than the ATS.

[@jamesriordan7]

Great video Siegwart Aviator! Very informative! I’m a fairly low-time, Commercial pilot that owns and operates a scenic biplane ride business in Southern Utah. I’ve got around 750 hours at this point and am trying to figure out how I can get to that magic 1500-hour mark a bit quicker. My goal is to get into flying fires as I’m also a retired municipal and wildland firefighter. It can definitely be a challenge to build hours but as you pointed out so well, there are certainly many jobs out there if you just go looking and/or get a little creative. Thanks for sharing this great info!

[@AviatorMark]

Sounds like you are well on your way and are willing to go the extra mile to get the rest of them! It definitely can be challenging especially since you may live out in a more rural area but I know you will get them soon. Now is a good time. Companies are hiring again and the covid pause is off. Thanks for watching and good success in all your endeavors.

[@jamesriordan7]

Siegwart Aviator thank you!

[@mannygathers2114]

Great info Sir!

[@Coughtry]

We need to get on the same page and properly define low time. Today even dnr is wanting 1k TT.

[@v12kid]

20 hours left until I punch my ticket. I am very excited :)

[@AviatorMark]

You should be! Congratulations, what an awesome accomplishment. 👏

[@RobinReedCoach]

Thank you for the video - love learning from you. (Might I recommend a wired lavalier mic? You can get them cheap, attach right to your phone and will make your voice more clear)

[@AviatorMark]

Thanks so much! I actually just recently bought one and I am really liking it… You read my mind!

[@J54399]

Hey man, where can I find similar pictures to the ones on the wall behind you? They're sweet!

[@AviatorMark]

I got them off a shop on Etsy.

[@drummerian1960]

Awesome video! I am currently working on my Instrument rating excited to start working! Where did you get your airport runway diagrams on your wall? I love the look of them and I’d like to purchase some. Thanks!

[@AviatorMark]

Not sure it will let me post the link but I’ll try. www.etsy.com/shop/MassiveWanderlust?ref=yr_purchases

[@AviatorMark]

If you get one shoot me a message on Instagram or Facebook showing me which airport you picked. They really are neat.

[@lumpmasta]

I think my main question is: Where do I find these jobs? I have a little over 300 hours and I really don’t wanna be a CFI. I’ve looked online everywhere and I cannot for the life of me find anything that will hire for under 500 hours TT. Most are actually around 1200-1500TT even for “low-time” jobs. Any ideas where I can look? Btw, great video man!

[@AviatorMark]

Network network network is probably the best advice I can give in that regard. Go out to the airports, make your face familiar, go to aviation events. On social media, LinkedIn is best but all the socials can help. I’ve had friends get jobs that had hundreds of hours less than the posted minimum just because they had an internal recommendation or a friend at the company. Aviation is still a very small community so it still is more about who you know than what you know at this point, especially with these low-time jobs. Good question and thanks for watching. I might do another video with greater details about this very topic since it seems to be a point of interest for many.

[@gordo1163]

1200-1500 hr jobs are for pic. with the amount of hrs you have so far you should be looking for sic jobs like sitting right seat in a c208 or PC-12. its a great way to build time until you can upgrade to pic.

[@devonteflowers219]

Thanks for the advice neighbor. Also is it great to get a new or used airplane. I have watched other people videos about it but they are mostly talking about what plane they are buying they don't really say if they are going long distance or short travel

[@AviatorMark]

Thanks for watching! I’ll see you around the neighborhood.

[@devonteflowers219]

@@AviatorMarkI'm always here to show my support for a neighbor

[@TheFlyingZulu]

6:28 Most of these low time jobs are all hot or cold but they are all tedious. Haha.

[@mulengathepilot2288]

Nice video. Am enjoying it. Am a student pilot doing my PPL. My question is how do i do my CPL and frozen ATP like replacing CPL subjects By doing ATP subjects to get a better chance at employment. Am 31 so facing the challenge of finance. How can see myself through my Aviation career looking at my age.

[@AviatorMark]

Many people start out flying later in life and that is ok. I have flown with several captains where flying is their second career and they are doing great. You’ve got this. Keep up the good work!

[@flygy481]

How many part 91 single engine jobs are out there? Not many or more than you think?

[@AviatorMark]

There is not a plethora of them but definitely with proper networking they can be found.

[@dsd-downshiftdave8056]

For a flight instructor, do you have to teach in a class room, infront of several students

[@Dappertrucker]

How can I buy a plane 🤔 what factors do I need to have accomplished before hand

[@Vincent12]

Great video. What website do you use to find employment in aviation?

[@AviatorMark]

LinkedIn is a good spot, Word of mouth is probably the best, and then once you have experience www.airlineapps.com.

[@Vincent12]

@@AviatorMark thank you very much. Super helpful

[@mikehunt7481]

how’d you fly for the DNR in michigan? they require 750 hours

[@coasternut3091]

I have the usual problem: Need hours to get a job Need a job to get hours

[@AviatorMark]

You got it!

[@airmedec135]

As a new pilot I appreciate the video. However I would say that most of these are not an option for a first pilot job. Most of these that I’ve found including aerial survey, pipeline patrol and others want 1000+ hrs. Not really a first gig for a 300 commercial rated pilot.

[@bgmstudiosng]

wow

[@PickleRickSanchez]

Where do you recommend applying for low time pilot jobs? Is there like a website?

[@mikehunt7481]

good luck getting a job with less than 400-500 hours unless it’s CFI

[@fotisaiki]

Do you need to be vaccinated?

[@AviatorMark]

Most all airline jobs are requiring it now but there are several private operators that do not.

[@dev1360]

That's not what "your friend" said. And then you abandoned the channel anyway.
