CANS OF WORMS

[JONNOS]

Here's a couple of cans of worms....

How old is too old to begin for a CPLH???.

How many hours could a pilot expect to fly in a mustering season (lets assume it's duration is 6 months max)

....90 views so far.. anyone willing to have a stab in the dark slappers??

[Cleanskin]

1. Never to old to learn to fly, if you pass a medical.

2. Depends how good you are, could be 100 hrs or 1000hrs, how long is a piece of string.

[oneadi]

is there the same limitations on mustering as there is in the commercial world
ie. 900 hrs in year ect...

[Eric Hunt]

....only if you log it....

How long is a piece of string? - twice the distance from the middle to one end

[Nawty]

So how old are you ??

Doubt anyone would hire a very old inexperienced mustering pilot.....tis a young mans game unless you are already old with 20k hours.

Presume you seek employment with a busy mustering outfit seeing as asking about max hours and not a private property or smaller op.

But it is limited to 900 hours I think, or was.....but just put your dogs name in for a few hours here and there....mine flew a few.


(only joking if casa is watching)

Its been a while since I was mustering but the new F&D rules came in a year or so before I left (2003) and it went something like this;

1200 hours per year providing you had 42 consecutive days off at some point (usually end of season)
2 days off in 16 day period
cant quite recall the weekly/monthly mins.......

....only if you log it....

That theory works for the helicopter too!!

Here is the standard industry exemption for mustering.
